just out for a ride after checking the bike over and i went out in my safety boots from work rather than the normal motorcross boots that i wear. thing is i found i had much more "feel" for the bike than i normaly had. is this normal or are motorcross boots not suitable for trials?? i though that a boot was a boot where MX and trials were concerned. is there that much difference in the two boots? BTW i have only ridden the bike for about 6hrs total so far!!! so to say i am a newbie would be very true.

two completely different boots, trials boots are a lot less rigid than mx ones whilst still providing the necessary support

Spot on mate, the MX boots are alot more rigid, trials boots offer alot more feel and therefore control plus extra grip when walking the sections.
