Why would you need one? It is well known that all trials riders are like Bou, Raga, Fuji, Cabby etc... and able to ride on just the rear wheel!

Neither side is proper for the kickstarter. just need a button on the handlebars and vrooom.....

yep, all brands have their quirks or things to keep an eye on. I think the biggest two things to remember is like stated above "ride it like a trials bike" and periodically check all the nuts and bolts for tightness............

My buddies TY175 kicks ass!! it must be better than all of yours! Believe it or not he can HOP the damn thing. I have seen it. Total nutter. Yes Biffsgasgas I am talking about you!

OH sure give me a way to do it without copious amounts of swearing

My opinion: smaller front sprocket = more direct placement of torque to the rear wheel. This makes every gear "hit" harder at the rear wheel That is why in muddy sections you select a higher gear to reduce rear wheel spin. The 2000 Sherco I used to have, when I got it felt like the gears were a half a selection off, had a "useable" first gear and second was a hillside gear and third was almost unusable. So I went with a smaller front sprocket (needed to use a half link though) This made first a tractor gear that was good for tight flat land sections with many turns, second was good for a bit more open sections and some hills and third was great for the bigger and longer hillclimbs. etc. and with Sherco's 4th and 5th are always trail gears.

That sounds good............I actually would prefer a MotoTrials only specific park. But that's the sport I like and it would be much more low key than an all inclusive "off road" park. Good Luck, I hope it is a success

WOO HOO!!!!!

YAY!!!! we need more areas to ride. We need more places that are set up for trials with bike rental so that people can test it out. And if Enduro rides are also an option that will open up exposure to more people that bring their own Enduro bike out for a ride and maybe gets the itch to try trials. Hey Biffsgasgas, Road Trip destination for Team WGASA????

Touche

Because he can!!

I just want to know how long it took for the trials riders turned Enduro riders to realize that they do not get penalized for putting their feet down......

I just throw mine in the corner...........if it crawls back out on it's own then it is time to buy new trials clothes. Actually Mrs. Zippy does the washing of my riding gear. So I put in laudry room and when it is clean she tells me to get it out of there. I don't have to deal with it so I don't worry if some colors are faded etc.. Most I have done is when really muddy sprayed off with the hose then handed over to Mrs. Zippy. This mainly stems from early in our marriage I was banned from doing laundry. My method was there are 2 categories of clothes: Dirty and Clean. It only took a short while for all my clothes to become a dirty shade of grey. According to Mrs. Zippy there are more than 2 categories of clothes.

I have the same thing with my right elbow. this is the second time around. First time I did a drop off and "jarred" my elbow on the landing. Took 6 months to heal up. This time around I gave bike a little "extra" throttle and it tried to rip my arms off. This time took almost a year to heal and it still not 100%. But I am not smart enough to rest it or ice it.. I kept riding the same as before and kept my work the same as before............I really believe this slowed down my recovery.

Ain't nothing better than being able to share your hobby with your children.......and have them enjoy it just as much as you do.

Looking good.

It's always the bike's fault..........never the rider.......

NICE!!!!

Make VROOOOM noises too

He was doing great off the top of the hill.....................until his tires touched the dirt.

Is this because his work and the custom headers are so awesome that they cost big $$$ or is it because he makes header pipes like I do and they are an abomination to nature.... (I would tell people the first one!)

I think you just described about 90% of us.

I have had riders that have recently moved up a class tell me after the event "That (insert crazyish obstacle here) in that section was gnarly, but I never would have thought I could ride that if it wasn't put in a section"
