thats_a_five Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 35 Too Old!!!!! Hardly. Most of the guys in our club here in Seattle, USA well past 40. I started riding trials when I was about 50 and that was 11 years ago. One of our members is closer to 80 than he is to 70. Get out there on a bike! Practice however and wherever you can. The more time on the pegs the better. Go to the Trials Training Center web site. There are a whole lot of training videos you can watch and go practice. Most important thing is have FUN!

oggie Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm 41 and started 3 years ago and am loving the sport. There's loads of clubs and competitions in South Wales so your in the right place. Now you just need the bike :-) Don't make the mistake some people make and wait until they feel they are good enough to compete. Get out to a trial and see how bad some of us are........ Welshtrials.com is a great place to get info about up and coming trials. There's one this Sunday near Abergavenny, see Welshtrials.com for details of start, address etc....
