subira Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 OK so it ain't bike trials, but kind of links, trials riders on push bikes. Just been reading January's MBUK and you get to find out what Jonny Starmer and Jason Bayliss have been up to - DH (under the wind of my neighbour Mr Warner) . And doing pretty well it seems. Woody Hole has done pretty wel in the past and I here that Steve Peat's not bad on a trials bike. Looks like trials skills cross over well to DH. Always fancied a blast myself, done a few XC and CycloX races and done ok, just wondered what the DH race set up is like. Anyone had a go ?

jtt Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 I think you'll find trials skills cross over to just about all two wheel activities DH bikes are basically trials bikes without a motor... but I think the trials bike is easier to push Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beta-boy Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 my bikes set up for heavy hits,its a hardtail though i've done some north shore riding its alot of fun i've done a bit of DH too, lots of fun trials definately helped me alot on a bicycle, i rode more stuff in my first month then people who have been riding for years have i've also gone bigger then most experienced riders too but trials to me is more challenging, and gives a better thrill but its still fun to haul off cliffs and fly down a steep mountain on a bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
