alan bechard Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 How do you think some of those Freestyle BMX guys would do on trials bikes? The amount of control that they have over the bicycles is ludicrous, how would that translate into ability to ride sections? Has anyone seen one of the very competent FBMX guys riding Trials?

dman Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Pros or anyone competent in their form of bicycle/motorcycle sport can be good at any other disicpline. I'd like to try motocross and show the poseurs at my school that they aren't Ricky or Bubba but I always think I'm going to break something...

eric23 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 We have a young man in our club who rides trick BMX. He's a top sportsman rider. His dad rides trials and singletrack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mich lin Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Alan, I get a chance to hang with some of the greatest freestyle riders of all time. That's part of my job! They are very gifted athletes, they could do great at trials but bike riding has a much better payday than trials riding. Any rider who is good at freestyle would be really dumb to switch to trials which is an amatuer sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Ya, I think they would embarrass us "regular" guys Dman I had the same deal with the kids in high school who thought they where all great but, for me fortunately I rode enduros at the time and I finally raced the kid who was suppose to be the fastest one. I was already an A class enduro rider and with my Suzuki RMX with lights and bark busters I blew him off with no problem.I never told anybody since I wasn't a big talker or very popular but, there was enough other kids there that everyone knew Your a good enough trials rider just let a few popular kids see what you can do and it should be all over the school. Boy I hated high school politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 lol I don't know which one is supposedly the fastest seeing as everyone makes that boast and its a big deal to pop a wheelie. Wow!!! A wheelie!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Dman, just find yourself a nice 10-12ft chunk of rock and ask them which one wants to race to the top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
