Hi Fella Im also pretty new to trials and will be making the step up to the B shorlty, something that has helped me no end is this: Trials Training Techniques with Ryan Young DVD (not the advanced one) It is a good step by step guide of how to ride things with the minimum effort. Good luck and stick with it

Hi Guys Thanks for your comments! I have to agree Lampkins have been brilliant with my Rev 3 08 and like I have already said it

Hey Im looking at treating myself to a nice new bike for 2011, the question is what one? I currently ride a Beta 250 Rev 3 2008 model on the C route & will be starting to try B at the next few trials, its a great bike!!! Power is smooth, great traction fairly light mmmmm why am I getting a new one lol Ive had a spin on a 2010 Gasser light and flicky but dont know if it would be to much for a whole trial? not yet managed to blag a go on a 250 Evo. So what do you peeps think???? I look forward to your words of wisdom

Hi I wear Jitsie kit with six six one knee pads under as I have torn ligaments in both knees, thats what moto X and rugby does to you....lol they work really well and give the support required but still allowing full movement....

Thanks Arnoux Ill give that a try! Cheers

Hi If anyone can offer advice on what to do about a dragging clutch on my 07 250f it would be much appreciated. I'm thinking I will need to buy new plates etc? Look forward to your words of wisdom! Cheers Shrub

Thanks Stu Ive dropped Nigel a line, Im looking forward to getting out on it for the bank holiday fingers crossed. Thanks again. Gareth

Hi All Well ive got the bike im just going through it to make sure everything is ok, thought it best to change the oil filter, oli, air filter and plug. Before i go for a hop skip and a jump. Is there anything else I should think about doing and how often should I change things the like the filters etc. I could do with a rear tier again any sugestion on what to use rember im a novice at all this.....lol.. Does anyone know the best place to get decals and plastics/carbon parts from? All i need now is some kit and im ready to go, ill pop upto BVM to get that this weekend all being well on the money front. Cheers Shrub PS are there any good parctice spots near North Somerset or in a 40mile radious?

Well fellow dabbers I have now sent off my deposit and will collect my new (well new to me) 2007 250f next weekend all i need now is some kit and im ready to go!!!!!! I cant wait While were on the subject of 250f are there any nice trick bits out there etc etc all info welcome. Thanks again Shrub

Sound like a plan ...lol god I cant wait

Hi Scudo No that is the thing that is bothering me a little, but I suppose if i dont know any better ill never know the difference and just learn to ride that machine. Does that sound mad?

Hi Guys Thanks for all your comments It looks like the scales are tipping towards the 4 stroke, maintenance wise im not worried as my best friend is a bike mechanic so I just need something that is going to get me round and more importantly that is available for me to buy in the next week or two so I can start having fun Keep the comments coming im going to send a deposit off the end of today then pick the bike up the following weekend, if all you feed backs good. Cheers Shrubster

Hi All Well ive got my money and have the chance of a 4 stroke 07, do you think this will be ok for a novice trials rider? I come from a moto X background but have only road 2 stokes. Looking for your advice yet again. Cheers Shrub

Guys Once again thanks! As from the 15th of next month I should have the money to get a bike and some kit. Ill keep you posted on how I get on. I'm off to the Mendipvale trial at Shipham this weekend so I hope to talk to a few people there and if someone explains the rules to me ill be happy to observe. Enjoy the Easter break Thanks again Shrub

Stoford & Greg Thanks you have made up my mind the Scorpa it is, im so looking forward to getting out there and giving it ago! The next question for you is what are the rules, what is the best training to do and are there any good DVD out there that will help a novice like myself. Also what kit last the distance. Thanks everyone for your help and advice. Shrub
