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.
I may be able to help you scratch your trials itch.
I am from Total Trials and we run 4 hour Adventure rides at Canungra.We supply you a trials bike and riding gear then we go over some basics techniques, once you are confident we then take you around 1000acre the property to take in the beautiful scenery.
There is a 6 page article in the latest Australian Motorcycle News about our Adventure Rides.
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. Cheers
Hi Kale mmmmmmm the problem is I know what will happen that itch will become a raging rash of epic proportion consuming every part of me. Sounds good I will check out the site and get back to you.
Taffy 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.
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
Thanks for that Taff. I did find them and sent an email a few weeks back will try give them a call rather. I am now a little unsure if I should go the bicycle way the key thing is I am hoping to do a ride with Kale in Canungra possibly this weekend and will decide after that.
