mokwepa Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Thanks for the kind words Im loving this trials story......wish I tried trials years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Had a awesome session yesterday. Came off twice and learnt how not to do a hill climb. Also buckled down and did lots of cambered turn practice. A good solid 2.5 hour non stop session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusjack Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I did trials as a kid, 20 years ago. I was ok at it when I did it, but stopped at 14 or 15 years old. Now at 35, I am finding even in only a couple of times back on a trials bike I have really surprised myself with what I could still do. It is so much fun on a bike, every rider should have a crack I think. Good work and keep it going, it's even a little inspiring to read stuff like this. Just don't get eaten by a lion or hippo!

guys Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Had a awesome session yesterday. Came off twice and learnt how not to do a hill climb. Also buckled down and did lots of cambered turn practice. A good solid 2.5 hour non stop session. Did you forget to close the throttle when you reached the top? Did the same thing when I started with trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted February 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I was battling to get traction after the 1m vertical step at the bottom. I kept spinning out, so half way up I decided to shift weight back. I found traction.....a bit more than I planned for though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Well even though my sunday trial was cancelled, about 16 of us met up for some training. Had a awesome ride and learnt a bunch from the other guys. We rode intermediate lines and I was surprised how well I did. Got a few cleans and tried a bunch of obstacles I would have never attempted if I was riding by myself. Thanks NRTC boys for letting me tag along. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusjack Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 Always good to have someone there to push you along Dylan. I have just got a Gas Gas 300 Pro, so am looking forward to my first outing on that this weekend. I wish I had somewhere very local to practice. I have to drive an hour to get to my practice grounds and they are only open on Sundays. Makes it hard I must say. Keep updating mate, well done.

mokwepa Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hi guys. Trials has taken a bit of a back seat as my left shoulder is well and truly stuffed. I have two serious events this month, a regional this weekend and a two day national at the end of the month. Ive done no training at all as im trying to save my shoulder. Hope it goes well but I think the lack of training might show. I have been busy in my humble workshop though.....im building a watercooled goped just for the hell of it. Donar parts are from a pocket bike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mokwepa Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Well im off tomorrow to ride my second regional event for the year. Lets hope the lack of training for the last month doesnt hurt my score too much. Wish me luck.....ill update tomorrow evening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mokwepa Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks Mr N. Nice to see you still following Already started mentally preparing myself for the 26/27 of this month........a NO JOKE, two day national trial where SERIOUS endurance will be the key to a good result. Cannot wait but I am pooping myself though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
