Trials rocks. I only wish I could

Yeah, I have a Norco Team trials stock trials bike.. I am good enough to impress non-trials riders, but amongst trials riders I'm just weak

no handrails for me yet... Sad thing is that I haven't ridden nearly as much since I graduated from school... the guy I used to ride with keeps sending me pics of him jumping off rooftops with his bike and jumping from the roof of one building to the next... just sick. To think where my skills would be now if I just stuck with it...

I'm about the same..... I have a very old IBis mod trials bike. I havent ridden it much in the last year

About all I can do is hop sidways and kinda balance on the back wheel.

Is it the 24" 20" wheeled one? My buddy has the same one.

Trials kicks ass...I used to compete but I suck now

It's still totally fun but the sport has gone totally insane. I wish I had the balls to try big ass moves like guys are doing now.

20" but not the fat tire and it even has U-brakes

I've had a gt team trials mod bike, a monty and a couple full size bikes. trials rocks. Check out jeff lenosky. World class trials, but riding street. The man. Just found an older honda trials motorcycle. Cool toy.

Got into it a little when I was a messenger. Most of my skills are stale now. Just enough to get an oooohhh, on the trails occasionally.

Drew

Oh, yeah....Trials rocks!!

What kind of rig do you have? I'm in S-vale too.

dreamerof1 · 11-10-2002, 01:05 PM

I've been away from MTB for awhile. I had some chronic health issues that kept me away, but I'm starting to ride again.

I ride a Voodoo Bokor XT/XTR, Z1 Magura HS-22's, Cane Creek Aeroheat (before the aerohead's).

Never broke down and bought a trials rig, just beat up the XC bike.
