Bike Trials

Big well done to Sam Oliver who confirmed his British Championship title today by winning the last round. Lost 7 marks, around 40 ahead of the second place man. He's worked bloody hard for that - British Champion - WELL DONE!

Word coming from Dan Brown on the TTC website shows the North American Trials Series expert class was won by our own moto-trials Pro rider Patrick Smage at TTC yesterday. Kudo's kiddo!

New vid now online. Some neat stuff - big drops for a 13 year old. Love the front wheel hopping. I know it's taken a lot of practice to manage it. Makes it look easy now. Click Here

Well done to Sam Oliver , managed to pick up sponsorship from MRS, the UK importer for Monty. No doubt this will be a great help as he (and the Oliver crew) make an attack at the World Rounds. I'm not one for blowing people's trumpet when they start to get a bit good, but I've never seen anything like it. It gives you a tingle down your neck. I've always thought that if you really want to excel at something, you have to go absolutely over the top - training training training. Sam is doing exactly that. Watch this space.

I got a unicycle for my birthday last september and after a week of trying igave it up as a bad job and everytime the wife enters my private place(the garage!) she gives me loads of grief about not using it so im gonna give it another go. Any tips would be very gratefully recieved, i dont have any long handrails to use although i could always cobble something together at work if this is the only way to do it!! Cheers

Sorry, I have to ask on behalf of my lad (honest!) What's the difference between a Stock bike and a Mod bike ?

Hi, I'm looking for a new 20" trials bike for up to

Anyone heard of or know anything about Woodman trials bikes? There's one for sale locally which looks quite nice but no-one I know has come across them. Any info gratefully received. Thanks.

where could i get some cheap monty tyres in 2 weeks time any help would b apreciated

Hi, I've just bought my lad a used Saracen 2 zero MAD (if that makes a difference??). It needs new tyres and thought I'd ask for some advice. Which should I buy (He's only 9 so I guess the cheapest? but is that wise?) What should I expect to pay ? Any advice on where to buy them (we're between Leeds and Bradford, West Yorks) ? The current tyres say 20 inch but someone told me we need 19inch on the rear. Looking on the internet there seems to be both. I presume we need 20inch. True ? The widths seem odd, the bike has 2.125 on the front and 2.25 on the rear. Are these standard sizes ? If I can't/don't match these widths, what do recommend I go for and would I ne…

Evening all, I dont get to post much these days, its a bit difficult to follow or reply to mototrials when you don't ride anymore. I pop in every now and then for a look whats happening, but...I thought you might like to see what I gave up mototrials for. Thats what drains my wages, destroys my body and keeps me occupied these days Some people aren't a fan of the yellow rims, but nevermind, thought you might want a peek Enjoy.

I've had a 26" trials push bike for 2 years and I have a muck about on it about twice a week. It seemed to be more suitable to buy a 26" bike than a 20" 'cos I'm 6ft2 but I had a go on a 20" mission bike last weekend and it seemed easier to hop about than my bike. So... what I'm asking is which is better for me to practise on for motorcycle trials? Also ,it seems a daft question but.. are the 26" bikes more prone to pinch-flats (when the tube is pinched against the rim 'cos of low tyre pressure) than 20" bikes? Suppose it maybee depends on the make of the tyre and sidewall strength Cheers in advance for any replies Rob

I've put a similar post up to this a while ago, and this is the next installment I suppose. Some of you may remember Sam Oliver. Used to ride around the Cheshire area, in fact Cheshire Champion in the C Class I think, and was riding the Inter route as a C Class rider. Bit of a strange thing happened about the time he fractured his skull doing a nice little front flip from a pile of pallets on his little Monty. Strangely, after he got out of hospital and recovered, it seemed to fuel his addiction to the bike trials, and he's just about been training non stop since. Earlier in the year he had a trip to the first round of the British Championships, and he did pretty well..…

Not exactly bike trials, but...... Just come across a reference to the 'Wheel King" bike, from the mid 70's (I know - a long time back!). Anyway, I had a new one, must have been in about '76/77. It has a plastic 'fake petrol tank' (red), MX seat, number plates, suspension front and rear, Drum brakes etc etc. Looked all the world like a 'crosser, and boy for a 10 year old it was cool !! Anyone remember them, or even a photo ??? cheers John.

Hi all. I just bought my first cyclo Trials bike - I'll be 37 in a couple of months though and I'm so unfit just tying my shoes is an effort! I won a Mission Prodigy with Magura hydraulics for a ton on ebay and I'm expecting delivery soon. I just need to find some where to practise, lose a couple of stone in weight and I'll be away!! Are there any other late starters to bike trials out there?

Give the bloke a boost - trials is trials. Vote for the trials park here Just cast your vote for the indoor trials park, and get your mates to do it too, and your mum, errrr and granny.

Some of you will know Sam and Tom Oliver. Ex Motorcycle Trials Riders (well still ride now and then) - converted to bike trials fairly recently, and been training hard, including the odd excursion with Ot Pi. The work showed today at round 1 of the British Champs: Sam came 1st in his age group (12-13) by a fairly large margin, losing 5 marks, the next being around the 40 mark. Tom came 2nd in the 10 year olds. Not a bad result at all - keep it up lads
