May 17, 201115 yr Hello All, I am new to trials but not new to bikes, I have owned and ridden an 1986 Honda XL250R since 2001 and in the last 3 years have owned a couple CBR600 F2s and a CBR600 F4i. I have just sold my nicest sport bike ('02 red/black CBR 600 F4i) so that I can get into trials. But I still ride a 1991 CBR F2 daily. I recently got a couple of project bikes, an '85 XR250R and a dirt only '86 XL250R to thrash on the trails. Looks like there are a few other Canadians on this forum but haven't seen many from BC... you wet coasters out there? I bought a 2004 Sherco 290. If anyone has any Sherco expertise or just trials newbie advice that would be great! (I am also new to 2strokes, the sherco is my first) Trials is even better than I thought it would be (and I had HIGH expectations) and I have only had one good ride on it Picture of my new trials bike: http://vmc.bc.ca/components/com_joomlaboard/uploaded/images/sherco2.jpg

May 18, 201115 yr And if you really want a thrill, come to the WTC National Trial this weekend in Summerland BC
May 18, 201115 yr Welcome, And be sure to wear the proper equipment. Ryan Youngs first DVD, (rypusa.com), might be a useful place to learn.
