British Trials is completely different from the Spanish circus act.  Due to totally different conditions.  We should have a separate sport, with different rules and with a separate name. No Stop. 

Foot and mouth, then Covid = No trials.  Anything else is just whinging - Get on and ride while you can.

Sorry, you'll have to elaborate because one could infer anything from introducing lightweight 2-stroke bikes through to some sort of axe to grind over indoor trials (that are held all over the world) from "the Spanish circus act"?

My local trials are the cat's whiskers, it's just a shame they're only on once a year 😕

Best advice ever given on here!

I would think the worst thing would be $8,000-$10,000+ bikes nowadays.

We don't have real food here in the states. It's all junk 😁.    And our gas has doubled here in Indiana as well.  I'm just glad our corn is going to good use (ethanol).  

Entitlement. Every rider on every type of bike wants a trial for them.

If u know how loose bearings come on a hot engine u also understand why water-cooled is better. And that's beside all other advantages.

 

Doing trials and complain about gas prices ? 😅 

 

I am new in trials, but 1 thing I like about old style is long days in the forest and no concrete things. Hope to join a long distance trial some day. For me it's mostly about being challenged. So an easyer trial on an old bike wil be fine.
