slimjim Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Hello all, I'm a 41 yr. old trials newb that just picked up a 2005 Montesa 4RT Repsol. I'm coming from a couple years of trail riding in AZ and CO. My house is on a 10 acre lot that I am beginning to add obstacles to. If anybody in the area wants to assist in building the track (and ride of course), let me now! I don't work so I plan on being on the bike a lot - even this winter. In the meantime I will be practicing my ass off (day/night/snow/whatever)! James Edited December 23, 2012 by slimjim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've got a tractor tire coming on Fri and there's a quarry a couple miles down the road for giant boulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axulsuv Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Jimmy & Chuck , you guys must only live about 15 miles apart ! My closest trials buddy's and decent riding area's are all about 200 miles away ... Consider yourselves lucky , "cause going out and playing with your friends only makes you a better rider !

76ty175 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Glenn, I can have the same issue, southern NM is not a hot bed of trials and its a 3 to 4 hour drive to Albuq. but once you are infected with this trials bug you do what you have to do!!!

chuckindenver Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 most of Colorado,s events are southern located, im mastering a new venue just west of Ft Collins this year, and will be mastering the ITSA event at Turkey Rock...so..Expert riders may want to train a bit this winter lol. i plan on stepping up the A line a tad. though it will be a vintage event...modern support riders are always welcome. and a good place to learn the basics.

lineaway Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Train? Like put forth effort just to ride vtntage!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckindenver Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) im the EMT for the ITSA and some of our modern events,,id rather have you ride out, then pack you out. the expert line is the only one that will change, the others will stay the same level, so, unless you ride the expert line, you can ride bus, as usuall, or if not. maybe its time to step up and move up?
