Hi to you all from the Gold Coast.
Well after coming through enduro/supermoto/ downhill mtb and currently racing BMX its time to get into trials.
I have always had an interest in trials and at the age of 42 well I dont bounce anymore like the youngsters.
At the moment I am working towards getting my trials bike. Current market place can not just walk out there and buy one. DAMM
But in the mean time I want a trials push bike. Will post something up in the wanted section. This should keep me going until I can get my Gasgas.
Chat soon

Re: Trials on the cards
Hi and welcome, my son took up pushbike trials a couple of years ago after a break from Moto trials , he's 45,and rides with his son, he's 20, and they are having a ball. They both ride state champ rounds, and get paid for doing demo's at fairs and town shows.
I've watched them guys ride and they do some tough stuff. Good way to keep fit and you can practice in the back yard, my sons got about 15-20 pallets in a small back yard. But he does lose more skin than I do on my Sherco.

Yea my youtube is going crazy and I have been watching all these guys ride. The palets is an awesome idea and as you improve the more you can use.
You are exactly right you can do this in your garden any time and thats awesome.

Hi, I thought I'd show a pic of the pallets set up, and I found some of the show exhibition stuff too, here he's riding against a top Moto-trials rider in a stadium style demo. I hope they come out.

Re: Trials on the cards
Hey Toclosh, that's not me its my grandson in SA [I retired from Moto Trials 20 years ago and just took it up again last year] I'm sure he will help you I'll try to pm you his contacts. I know he [and my son] buys all there gear from the UK, good quick service apparently. He even chose the top shelf parts he wanted and they built the bike and posted it over.
Cheers Taff
