cactusjack Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Mods, wasn't sure if this belonged in here or in General trials talk so put it here anyway. If there is a better suited forum for it please move it. Today, as our trials club is open during daylight savings, I went there for my first real attempt at any trials riding in close to 20 years. I had a ball, and really surprised myself at what I was able to do after such a hiatus. The photos are showing a couple of obstacle I rode up, every one was cleaned in at least one attempt, all three had only a handful of attempts on each one. As usual the photo's don't do the hills justice. All taken with an iPhone 4S, so not the best photo's. This was the first thing I tried with any degree of difficulty. Took 2 goes to get it right, small but looked big for me when I first got there. Tried this and again took a couple of goes to get it right, probably third or fourth go I made it up no dabs. This really isn't done justice by the pic, but probably easy for most one here. This was the next obstacle which I managed to clean on the first go at it, I was really chuffed with myself at that, as this was quite a daunting thing to look at. I did dab on the next 2 attempts then cleaned again on the 4th, and repeated this sequence again, but overall very happy. Thanks for reading and looking at my pics.

tltel Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 The last one would make me think twice before riding it, but oh to see some dust would be magical, our Trial this weekend has been cancelled again because of flooded access to the land. Nice pics. TLTEL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactusjack Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Thanks all. I have a Drift HD that I will try and remember to take with me next time and put together a little video. Hopefully the next visit will be on a Sunday when I can spend a few more hours there and get better footage. I have no friends who ride trials, but am sure I will meet a few people at the club who will be happy to work together. There was many people there but I didn't know any of them from a bar of soap, so wasn't really ready to ask favors yet!! I look forward to the next outing.
