Anyone here into trials biking?

[.Steezy-McGee.]

If you don't know what trials biking is, look that shit up on youtube PRONTO. I just got into it recently, and wanted to see if any fellow newschoolers were into the same thing. If you are, I solute you.

always amazed with there bike control but I find it so much more impressive when done in spandex and on a road bike

agreed. that shit is insane. blows my mind.

i've actually never seen it done on a seatless bike like the first video though. that shit's wild. i don't even know how you get as good as these dudes are on a bike. shit's not natural.

Used to do both bike and motor trial. Never got my own motor trial but rented one two times a week for a year and got completely hooked on it, I would have loved to continue with it but it was to expensive. Never got that into bike trial tho but learned the basics and it was allot of fun, I think I might have continued with it if I had a 24 or 26 bike and hydraulic brakes instead of the 20 bike I had. Never really liked those really small wheels and pedal kicks etc were really hard with shitty brakes. Found pedal kicks and other stuff like that to be easier/more comfortable on my 26 dirt jumper so ended up not using my trial bike that much.

Kind of thinking about getting into bike trial again tho if I find a better bike for a good deal but I just got a new fs bike so that would have to wait until next year.

Yea man hydraulic brakes help so much. You should for sure get back into it. Not only does it seem to help my balance on any bike, but just my balance in general has improved a ton.
