Hello all, My name is Phil, I'm a 44 year old self employed builder, I live close to the NEC in Brum. Trials has always been on my bucket list of stuff to try so I had a little go on the trials experience thingy at the NEC bike show, so this year I grabbed the bull by the horns and at the end of January I purchased a 2007 scorpa sy250. I've rode it virtually every weekend at a quarry and have been practicing getting over logs, slow control, wheelies etc. I've got a days training booked with Stu Day on the 7th of March too. I also run a 2013 ktm 450 EXC and a 2012 Triumph Explorer. That's it for now. Phil

Always wanted to ride trials, but never have. My hobby is old motorcycle restoration, typically British. Past years raced vintage MX on a 1967 Husqvarna 360, stopped in 2005. Now wanting to ride a 72 Sherpa T model 92. recently purchased a Sherpa Bultaco in progress, due finished by early 24. I am 76" tall at 175 lbs and I have my first helmet from 1969 (no foam/all failed). I am concerned about being too tall for this sport on a vintage Sherpa. Also concerned about going back to kick start.

..... Sarah Teach ask me! Hi Folks. I'm known as Timpo, a trail rider living in Cheshire but specialising on riding the Welsh trails. My girlfriend, also a trail rider, was reading a post on one of the other forums and it featured several of our friends riding at an Aquaduct Classics trial recently. Now I must admit, I'm a lucky bloke, as many of my pals have had to earn brownie points to go and by one bike, nevermind two..... but Sarah asking me "why haven't you got a trials bike?" was all I needed to go and buy my 8th bike. So with ST's two, we have ten bikes here now.... I think it's time to move house!:-) OK, so now as of yesterday I own a Gori MT325, and I recko…

I have done a fair bit of trials riding in the past but haven't had a trials bike in about 4 years (all road riding) but am looking to get back into it.

I am planning on heading to a school for a training day in the near future and if all goes well I will be buying a bike soon after. As a beginner I want to try and stick to relatively cheap first bike and gear where possible.Any advice on starting off in trials, bikes, equipment etc would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Dan

Morning all! Last Friday I purchased myself a 2004 Sherco 290! From a local lad down the road @ Bishop. Then spent the weekend riding down near Croft!...Didn't think it was going to be as good as what my mates were making out etc, but absolutely LOVED it! Even compared to Motocross, Fast Cars etc...at least with this their is places you can go no bother, and have a good time with out any hassle from police etc etc! Cant wait for this weekend to be honest, by last Sunday I was already getting a feeling for the bike, getting over my first rock, on and off pallets etc some big hills and a few jumps here and their, GOOD FUN!...first time on a trials bike, apart from my firs…
