Ducko Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 i like it soemtimes ive had to get used to it really...but its good to push yourself when your out and you can ride where you want wen u want so it can be very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Thomson Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I ride on my own all year round, except the few weeks I'm in scotland over summer...Apart from that it's just me...No other riders in my area....Tell me about it being f**king boring and incredibly un-inspirational....anyhoo x x x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadChikken Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 i always ride on my own or wiht my mates who skate. no one i know round my way (burnham/bridgy) rides trials. mind you its good because no one can show me up but i reckon i dont improve like i could because theres no one to push you. its not oo bad i can go out for ride for a few hours by myself quite happily, strap on some tunes and just go with the beat. its not so badcraigMate Ive just moved back to near bridgy and Ive met up with a few of the local guys already for a ride, there's quite a few of them! speak to yoyoyo on here, he's out with his bro quite a bit when they're about, and there's a lot of riders down taunton way aswell. We need to all get out for a ride, is a laugh. It dont matter about being shown up or not, just come out and enjoy yourself! Im only just back riding after a year out so am struggling with the basics again :$ Back to topic: I dont enjoy riding alone much, hence why I hardly rode at uni cos was nobody else around to ride, and the last year was too busy with work Lost all motivation for it without others about...Find it better riding with a group cos you can watch others and seems a good way to improve and pick up techniques, and also gives more motivation to try lines and objects that you might not have before. Now everybody in the south west needs to keep pestering me to come out riding so I actually do!M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I don't mind riding by myself as long as I am somewhere quiet and by myself, I couldn't ride somewhere like leeds city centre on my own. A school near my house was awesome (it had some awesome skinny lines too - wooden rails, it was fun riding them int rain) but that now has huge fences round it, to stop people getting in. So now my moviation to ride by myself has gone down a lot now I have to put some effort to get to places I can't be arsed...I prefer small ish rides 2-8 people, so things don't get too crowded and you can have a laugh Overall I enjoy the company...

Billy Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I go out on my own, just in my street practising pedal kick and pivots and whatnot, but if I go for a proper ride, I always go with friends. It's not safe going out on your own round here really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yeah.... I ride on me bloody tod! Getting a bit sick off it lately though, wish me mate would stop painting his new house so we could get out every now and again, like we used too.Progression is slow, but I still enjoy it! I ride for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the judge Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) I don't mind riding on my own a couple of times a week just to practice things, but like leedstrials said, only if it's somewhere quiet. I prefer the rides when I'm with other people though, it's just more fun Also, the people I normally ride with (sexymike, davetrials, and cj) are better than me so they can teach me how to do stuff Edited August 15, 2006 by the judge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trialsjunkie99 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yeah riding on your own is ok, but when you've got some mates riding with you it tends to give you a challenge or even some inspiration to what your going to do next. Riding on your own does tend to get a bit boring if your on your own! But hey its always good now and again!!!!!!!!!Cheers Trialsjunkie99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onzaallen Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Dude, you need friends..... quick!
