July 9, 201313 yr Hello to everyone, my name is Paul and im fairly new to trials, I used to be a club racer in Thundersport, but after some naughty crashes and cost, i sold up last year. By xmas i was bored and needed a bike, i have always loved watching trials so bought myself a 2003 315r lampkin rep. withing 20 mins of getting it i had wheelied in straight into a wall.. oops. anyway, i then bought my son a gasgas txt 70 so we could go together. i like in wakefield so we usually go to bumpy, but have a new job in Tidworth in Andover and currently looking for somewhere to go down here. We have a MX track built on our training area which im currently arganising with the big bosses to allow me to make sections on when its not used for enduro. I class myself as a complete novice even coming from recing as this is a completely new animal. but very fun, hard work and cheap. i hope to learn new things from the forum and its members.. cheers ladies and gents.. Paul

Paul Welcome to the wonderful and weird world of trials! 1. Good bike to start on and at least you got that first crash out of the way quickly! 2. Have fun with your son and cherish every ride you have together. (at 40 yrs old I still remember many of the rides I had with my dad when I was a kid) 3. This is a good attitude to have and in no time you should be learning quite a bit and progressing your skills quickly 4. Not sure how much "useful" stuff you will learn from us on this forum............ Zippy
