omgnoseat Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 i saw this guy trialbiking, had never seen it before because i live in the netherlands.i was quite impressed, so i asked him how much that strange bike with no seat costs..bit too expensive for me so never considered buying one.till my friends both started a new hobby and encouraged me to start trials, so i got a trialbike from my parents and thats how i started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG L Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 What started it off for me is when me and my mates used to go bmxing allot. We kept on seeing these guys on funny bikes without a seat hopping off, up and over stuff. One day we went with them and found out they was called trials bikes and they were ultra light . We saw them hopping off stuff so we decided to wheelie off big stuff and we got to about 6ft! We asked one of them why did he start trials and he said to do bigger drops than on his old bmx.So what we thought is if he used to do what we did, we could maybe do what he did on his trials bike. Then we all got trials bikes, i got an onza t-vee, one of my mates got a saracen mad 2 zero , another got a 2002 t pro and the other one got a hardcore bike (never heard of it).At first it was so hard to do anything and the guy who ridded trials before told us if we learnt to trackstand we would learn lots quickly. Then we mostly picked up the rest of the stuff from watching others and videos and now we are pretty good (almost as good as him now). And thats how i got into the amazing sport and will stick with it! Cheers BIG L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfuzzit Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 (edited) I bought a specialized P.3 and diddnt know what trials was. I watched the collective and saw Ryan Leech. I decided that i wanted to do that type of riding.. It looked more fun than just dirt jumping. I lightened up my P.3 a little bit and have been doing trials riding on it. I am currently in the process of getting an ST-1 and all my parts. Edited June 25, 2006 by justfuzzit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A!! Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 The main reason i started was through trials motorbike riding. I can remember being at a competition when i was younger and seeing some trials push bike riders and was stunned by what they could do on a bike, and from then on i was hooked. Our local trials motorbike dealer occasionally got a few montys in, so we ended up buying a 219 alp, and the interest grew from there. There also use to be a programme on Tv that showed trials motorbike and push bike riding alot, i think it was called kickstart or something.

redroy Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 I saw a couple of people in my school riding and thought that it looked amazing so i started trying to learn on my old y-frame, then i bought the video- Tricks and Stunts and i was totally hooked after that! so i bought a DDG Shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plazermen Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) Somehow after alot of street riding und manuals und all that stuff, when I was bored to death with all that. I told to my mate: "Allrite. I have enough of that shit. Let's do something else now". I newer saw a trials rider before, but did hear a little about it, so we agreed to try trials and started up with pedal kick on our dual bikes (it was in winter) ;] Edited July 6, 2006 by plazermen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie2000 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I started because all my mates where riding and it look loads of fun and they said it was really easy to learn.
