Bike Trials

Team Megamo Midwest has been pushing forward with our competition and demo season. This past weekend the team traveled to the 1st Annual Northern Indiana Trials Competition and brought back some great results across the board, making re of a name or our team. Our sport level rider Alex Belmont took second place in his class, his best result ever. In the expert class a potential rider for TMM, Pat Smage (Youth National Mototrial champ,) claimed a strong third, and Peter Hellenbrand ran away with the win in the Expert class.

Which do you think is more physical, bike- trials , moto-trials?

I am on the verge of buying a new bike but could do with some advice to help me decide.

Is there such a dual purpose type of bike??? Any help would be good. Cheers

OK so it ain't bike trials, but kind of links, trials riders on push bikes. Just been reading January's MBUK and you get to find out what Jonny Starmer and Jason Bayliss have been up to - DH (under the wind of my neighbour Mr Warner) . And doing pretty well it seems. Woody Hole has done pretty wel in the past and I here that Steve Peat's not bad on a trials bike. Looks like trials skills cross over well to DH. Always fancied a blast myself, done a few XC and CycloX races and done ok, just wondered what the DH race set up is like. Anyone had a go ?

has any one got a back magura hs33 or a set fully bled and 4 bolt pm me at xnescx@hotmail.com cheers

How important is rear wheel moves in bike-trials, are they needed in the sport level class.

It just seems like bike trials is a great way to train and yet save from destroying your moto. Another thing is trying scary drops and gaps ect... it seems to help with building confidence, courage! What is your input on bike trials?

I have been thinking about bike trials for some time now and was wondering what you guys thought about converting a 24" BMXer. I would think a crank and bars would be a start, but I just wanted to know what yer thoughts were. Thanks....
