o.a.s motorcycles Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) I've ridden for getting on 10 years now, did a lot of British Championship events over the years and some world rounds. It really does help on the motorbike which used to be the play toy for when i was off the pushbike but i guess the lure of an engine was just to great in the end. I think everyone would gain from riding a little biketrials. My dads 43 and he'll give it a go although i close my eyes!

Thanks Henry I think you should give it a try. It has helped me a lot with my moto skills. I've gotten into bike trials so much now that I don't ride the motorcycle very much though. Every once in a while maybe. I say give it a go and see how you do. Have a go on somebody's Monty or something and see how you like it. You can usually tell from there.

Get out with some riders in your area and ride a little bit with the people there. Register on Trials-Forum if you already haven't. Once you become a full member there, it will be a lot of help. Ask if there are any riders in your area. Also, Heath, have fun with that Giant! Don't see many of those nowadays. I will post pics of my A3 on here in a couple of days.

bigdamo Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 I was wondering does bike trials improve your moto trials skills more or does moto trials improve your bike trials skills more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I was wondering does bike trials improve your moto trials skills more or does moto trials improve your bike trials skills more? I would say that the cycle trials improves motor trials more than the other way. The cycle trials brings the brilliant balance which we constantly see kids translate in to motorcycle trials very quickly. For the technical stuff it's brilliant. The bits they're going to be missing are the throttle/clutch control, keeping the grip on the slippy stuff. There's gotta be a fair bit of crossover both ways though I'd think.

alex Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I used to ride, but not competivly just around town and up the local quarry:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I think biketrials is very intense, the heart rate is screaming and it helps with the fear factor. The first few times I did rear wheel drops off a pic-nic table I was shaking scared!!! I'm a 40 year old novice rider and I still enjoy biketrials, I like to ride old school biketrials, I'm not much of a hopper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkrisztian Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I ride biketrial, too. Here's a video of me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCLtkR5-y-0 Of course, I also have a Beta Rev3, so I ride motorcycle trials, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
