Vito87 Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 hey guys. i’m not too sure how all of this works but basically, i discovered trials a while ago and i really wanna get into it. i saw many people recommending beginners to find a trials club in their area, so i went searching. i’d say i searched quite a bit, but i found absolutely nothing. i couldn’t find a single trials club in the country, let alone a dealer selling trials bikes in the area. i’m 16, so there isn’t much i can do like travel. what do i do now?

konrad Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) I spent quite a lot of time in Singapore and have fond memories! How about a trials bicycle? Younger is better for that sport, and the skills will transfer. Edited November 23, 2023 by konrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konrad Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 To borrow a British expression, they are as different as chalk and cheese. A trials bicycle will be much less expensive than a trials motorcycle, but more expensive than a "similar" bicycle. I searched "trials bicycle near Singapore" and this was the first hit: https://www.carousell.sg/p/trial-bike-1264009023 Search "danny macaskill" to see the very pinnacle of street trials ability. Trials Central has a forum devoted to trials bicycles: https://www.trialscentral.com/forums/forum/19-bike-trials/ Good luck. That's about all I can help.

faussy Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 This user here seems to be close 'ish' to you. He was last active 13 years ago, but it sounds like trials exists to some degree where you are 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
