November 14, 201213 yr Greetings, I’m new (like yesterday) to the discipline of trials. I have been riding single track up and down the East Coast and Colorado and Idaho for the last 15 years. Friends introduced me to dual sporting a few years ago and that is a blast also. Now between both bikes I average 100+ hours of seat time a year. My wife had a 2 bike rule (I have a 2012 KTM 300 XCW for single track and an 07 KTM 400 XCW for dual sports) until my 50th B-day last month. My present was she broke the rule and ok’d the purchase of a trials bike. I found the newest looking 03 Gas Gas 300 on Craig’s List and now it’s sitting in my shop. Rode it yesterday for the first time and I have a lot to learn. I plan on using it to cross train and if I’m not a total squid, compete in my club’s Trials event this summer. You guys have a real good resource here with this site and I look forward to any advice you may throw my way from training, riding tips/technique, and bike maintenance/prep. Keep young by havin fun. Squid
