I recently signed on. I'm a very long time rider, although I've never done any trials competition and really have almost no 'trials' skills. (Learning things slowly)

I bought a GasGas 280 TXT pro awhile ago. I had great fun with it, really riding trails mostly - and in the garage with the engine off, balancing it.

It taught me a lot about what I'm doing incorrectly on my 300'KTM.

But I thought it would be great on mountain trails I like so much.

I also had a Aprilia RS250 track bike and quite enjoyed it. But then a very fast buddy of mine got very. Hurt on the track when someone took him out. I pretty much lost interest.

So I sold the Aprila and GasGas and picked up a 2014 OSSA Explorer.

This bike is great for how I want to use it- plus since it is really just the trials machine with an extra fuel tank and seat, should do darn well on trials,

I hope to learn a lot with it and mostly have lots of fun!
