i live in thessaloniki . i hop you have company to ride with . over here we are 3 or 4 with trials but we live too far from each other , so i ride alone .

geia sou . which town are you from ?

today i repacked the middle and rear silencer of my 15 year old jt 250 . it must be the dirtiest experience of my life . previous owner never did this job before . now the bike revs faster and works like new . totally worth it .

just watched learning trials dvd . for a beginner like me this is a bible . very good explanation for the techniques , already hepled me realise my mistakes . i dont have experience from other training dvds so , much better from all the videos i found in youtube .

petcock on my gasgas jtx 250 (1997) is leaking badly . where can i find a new one or something to fit in ?

i just bought a used trials and the previous owner told my that the front brake needed new pads . the pads looked fine but it was sucky . anyway , i read about your tip and today i gave it a try . 100% worked for me too . thank you all .

everybody says trials make you a total better rider and i would agree with that . how did you , enduro and mx riders , saw the results of trials riding in your sport ? where did you notice the bigger advantages of your trials practice ?

organized clubs for motorcycles in general yes . but they are mostly touring clubs , a few of them organize events for mx or enduro only . there is nothing for trials i thing . there was a greek trials championship until 2010 but all the events (3) where in athens . i am a beginner in trials so not the right person to ask ... the terrain is great , you are going to love it . in mainland or islands greece is an off-road paradise , perfect for enduro or trials , there are no laws to stop you from going almost everythere you like , except beaches and personal properties . all the forests and mountains are almost free for every motorized sport . my home in near a forest so my trials playground is a half mile away !!! trials holidays in greece ? come on , get serious (hehe) ... we are in the middle of a crisis .

hi this is nikos from thessaloniki , greece . 36 years old . i am a beginner in trials but i have lots of experience in enduro . i deal with enduro for almost 17 years , still racing at local championship . i always liked trials but there are not many people in greece how are dealing with the sport so its very deficult to find someone to practice with or talk about trials technics. i discover this forum a few weeks ago and i am very happy that i found a place to solve the ''misteries'' of trials . i just bought a gasgas jtx 250 1997 model , its generally in good shape although its old . as you can imagine i have lots of questions for trials but i check the hole forum in my free time to learn from your experience . anyway , thanks for your time ,and sorry for my bad enghish .
