Hi, Not Into Trial Riding But Byway Riding But Want To Get My Kids Into It.

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

I have a 13 1/2 year old I would like to get into trial riding etc.

He has never ridden a bike before, but can ride a push bike.

Are there any places in Kent that I can go to, so he can get some training and then practice on with his own bike, if he likes it of course, in Kent.

Cheers Si

Hi

If your son has never ridden a motorbike before i would suggest you try to start him off on a automatic with seat even if he's a bit too big for it just for his first ride or two. PW80 or similar, preferably borrowed as he will soon get the hang of riding it. It will not be too powerful / intimidating for him and he will get the feel for being on a motorised two wheeler.

Trials is all about control so he must be able to mange whatever bike he gets. You will have to watch his progress and get him an appropriate bike. Its amazing just how quick youngsters progress.

Some of my mates cannot manage a progressive clutch on a bike with no seat and they have been riding big road bikes for years.
