2stroke4stroke Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) It's still trials. They stop, and reverse all the time. No stop rule would kill it. It's bloody cool Not necessarily - have you ever seen Chris Akrigg in action, especially on a fixed wheel bike? He tends not to fart about http://chrisakrigg.com/ and has a very flowing style. Let's face it, riders only stop and bounce about to make it easier so if they are not allowed to do so then there has to be more of a challenge? And it does not matter what system you use, the sections should be laid out to give the riders some element of safety - it may just be a bit different if no stop is in force.

old trials fanatic Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yes. He also has a video where he has no brakes and a freewheel. He ends up running into a tree and hurting his shoulder. So yeah there is one guy in the world who would benefit from no-stop. ;)Did you watch the video I posted on observed bike trials? I'd have to watch it and actually keep track but I'll guess 75% of the course could not be ridden if they could not stop. I think it would dumb it down quite a lot. I guess that is their intent. Think youre getting confused. There is a seperate forum for push bikes i.e. Bike Trials For those also into Trials of the non-motorised variety!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modifier Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Nope, not confused at all. Are you confused 'old trials fanatic'? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 No just dont get what relevance trick cycling on pedal bikes has to proper trials on motorised machines. Stick to the correct forums. You wouldnt post a question about a Beta in the Honda forum would you? Well you probably would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modifier Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I respect your 2300 posts OTF and I wouldn't say anything but you have made your point before and it seems a bit persnickety. I started this thread. The thread was obviously about motor trials. The bicycle reference was just a side note. Just like if someone mentioned in a Beta thread that Hondas have the same issue. Bicycles are mentioned in perhaps 6 at best of 70 posts in this thread. Not the end of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) And the reason it was introduced was to justify an opinion on motorcycle trials so therefore relevant to the proponent's argument. Perhaps Chris Akrigg's style comes about due to him being a motorcycle trials rider first?

modifier Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Do you, really ?? In the sense that he has obviously been here a while and somewhat earned the right to be a bit bossy. And if I had posted a bicycle trials thread in a motorcycle trials forum he would be completely in the right. However, in this case it's pushing it and he brought it up more than once including cuts to the legitimacy of bicycle trials each time. Both forms are legit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie Not that I can understand more than about half of it. Edited February 9, 2013 by modifier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copemech Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Obviously Modifier is on the MO side of the line. No matter, if you meet Billy T. in person he sounds the same way. It's kinda like talking to a Mexican, you just say HU? a lot and smile! As long as you smile at him he is a happy lad! He is actually a very good rider and a smart fellow, but if you give him a 5 he goes back to Mexican mode very quickly, soo, we just smile!
