- How To Get Our Sport To Grow
Hello, I started this Facebook group to try to get riders(& others) together in my area(Arkansas, USA). We have over 200 members but I am not sure how many ride(or even own?) a trials bike. I will need to find places to ride, too. I do know that I will have to push, push, push if I want anything to happen. I also run ads in Craigs List in my area & on other FB groups. Many people want someone else to do all the work so that they can just show up & ride. So if you want a few people to ride with, you are gonna have to push the sport. That's just my opinion.
