Hello all. Glad to be a part of this site. I bought an '04 GasGas 280 on July 4th as my first ever trials bike. My thought process is that it will help ALL the other forms of riding I do. Currently I race hare scrambles and enduros at the A level, and I am a Motorcycle Safety Foundation certified coach for the basic and advanced rider courses. I look forward to learning as much as I can about trials and am entering my first event this weekend. As much fun as I have had plonking around the house I cannot imagine that the event will be anything less than spectacular.

You should have fun and learn a few things! Go slow! Start at Novice in any events! It is a bit like golf! Can embarrass you fully!
