dropdownagear Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm new to Plymouth and don't have any contacts or locations to take my twin shock Trials bike, if anyone can help it would be appreciated. I don't mind travelling or paying to use land. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dropdownagear Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks I will be going as a spectator next Sunday and will sign up to the club. I'll take my bike and hopefully be able to get some practice in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfc Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 If you sign up and you have a licence jump in and have a ride, you will love the ground, don't go away kicking yourself for not riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropdownagear Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 I've not got a licence, only got the bike last month and only ridden it twice on waste land. The bike is more than capable (it's just been totally re-built) of doing Trials it's me that needs fine tuning, i've had bikes for 35yrs but brand new to Trials.

jfc Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Brilliant, welcome to the most enjoyable, addictive sport, once you start it will become all consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropdownagear Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Many thanks I'm hooked already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfc Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 You had better make contact with the club, as you may not be able to ride (practice) unless you sign up for a licence on the day, just so you don't drag your bike up for no reason!

jfc Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Dropdownagear did you get up to Hound Tor? Just checked out the website, think you were caught on camera! Or at least it looks like your bike in your profile pic. Edited December 23, 2013 by jfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropdownagear Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 jfc, Yes i went to Hound Tor signed up paid for a licence and had the best 4 hours riding i've had since i can't remember even though i took a few tumbles. Can't wait to do it all again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfc Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Brilliant, we were there, well both my boys were riding I was walking. Think I saw you but was not sure, glad you had a good time. Morton have a club trial this weekend, not sure about the routes being set, west of England on the 19th, again a great venue but is a south west champ round for all grades except youth d, you need to enter in advance.
