Hello to everyone,
I'm Rob, 34 yrs young, and just bought myself an 05 Gas Gas 280 about 2 months ago.
I Had a Scorpa 250 about 6 years ago but not for long so i'm only really starting to learn to ride trials.
I live in Darlington in North East England and ride at the trials club just outside Croft nr Darlington. Its a bit muddy at this time of year and with half of the riding area being on a big island in the middle of the river Tees its a bit dodgey getting over to it when the rivers in flood, but heres looking forward to the summer. :o

Thats about it really, excellent forum by the way, enjoying reading stuff on here :o

Cheers,
Rob.

You should get yourself to the Consett DMC 2 day trial this Sun/Mon near Frosterley, Weardale. They normally have a very easy, easy course which I'm sure you could manage and put your practice to good use.

And on the seventh day God did not rest, he created trials.

would love to Kirk but for the moment I'm relying on others for transport :o My car had a tow bar on it when i bought it so i'll be getting a bike rack or a trailer some time in the summer, until then I kinda only ride where my friends ride, besides, if they have a level of expertise thats about 6 below 'Novice' then i might be ok. lol :o
cheers for the info though, I'll be looking to enter some local trials once i get a bit of practise in and get some transport of my own.

Rob.
