slartibartfast Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Hi from Perth Scotland I just recently took a notion to give trials a go. I'm on the wrong side of 50 (just !). I had a twin shock Fantic many years ago which was an unreliable disaster and I never used it much as never found anywhere convenient to do so. That makes me a complete no-clue-newbie with only a recollection of how hard it was and without the benefit of growing up with BMX's or doing mountain bike tricks ! Not sure if I am mad , stupid or both I'll hang around and pick up some tips. The idea is to pick up a 2nd hand bike and see if I can get to grips with things. Info on anywhere to practice in the Perth area would be really useful. I have info on the Fife and Montrose clubs (I know there is one in Perth also but can't find a website) but I quite like the idea of making a fool of myself in private ..... at the start at least !

cabby Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Ian, be aware that the Wobblers and Montrose are NOT SACU but AMCA, but don't say anymore about it, or you may find some PM's coming your way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
