MikeCottTrials Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I was just wondering, if you where walking around in a room full of people and lets say there where 2 other trials riders in there. do they stand out? i'd say the majority of riders just wear normal clothes but does their walk change or their stance etc. personally i walk slightly different now(duck style) but apart from that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luccosleeps Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 nah the whole ducking and funny walk wears off in about 5 minutes or so. though the clothes they wear might make 'em stand out i.e. tarty's t'shirt of whatever.

Dan6061 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Depends, hands probably battered/calluscs (sp?) blisters etc. Back problems, holes in shins, probably in a t-shirt like 'Selectbikes, Tartybikes, BT, etc...' I doubt i'd spot them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Also another point...Would you be able to tell if someone was a trials rider whilst they where riding a mountain bike?Like when moto-trials riders do motocross they always tend to be stood up alot and good in the mud races and stuff.

yoyoyo Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 You can sometimes tell, most of the riders i know, have their shoulders pointing more forward where the muscle has grown. You can't tell if they are wearing a hoodie, but you can if they have a t-shirt on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
>AC< Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 he/she (lets not be sexist now) would be wearing 3/4's or jeans that are shreded at the bottom from always catching under the chain and you would probably be able to hear their wrists constantly clicking like a cement mixer! or is that just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 You can sometimes tell by the way they talk for example " Orite dude hows it going" instead of "now mush".Do you get what im saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 If a trials rider looked like me no way would i spot him. I just wear surf clothes like quiksilver, billabong etc. I have got pretty long hair as well, but I suppose the hands are a bit of a give away but what kind of a perve goes around looking at other peoples hands .

Alun Goch Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) Maybe not so common, but since riding trials I seem to walk like a complete tw@t! It's really annoying but cant help it.Trousers would be gnarled by cogs/chain etc,Big thighs, shoulders and forearms,Deep and many shin scars!Aren't complete idiots to talk to,Knee back pain when getting up/moving about,May be riding a trials bike??

Mark W Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 P.S. Relentless Energy drinks at a trial price of only 89p BARGAIN! Only managed a whole can twice out of five attempts Brutal stuff...I don't know about spotting them. If I was in a pub, I wouldn't just spot someone, I don't think.

JT! Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Talking about tartybikes shirts, my mate saw some guy in a tartybikes tee who had a motor bike and didn't ask him who he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCottTrials Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Also another point...Would you be able to tell if someone was a trials rider whilst they where riding a mountain bike?Like when moto-trials riders do motocross they always tend to be stood up alot and good in the mud races and stuff.I bet i could because theyd know what a decent bike is so thats one sign also theyd think that because they can do trials then dirt jumping,xc,downhill would just come natural so theyd be super confident and you probably notice signs like 1 finger over each brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
