Not another builder. Its quite a commen frase in the trade Bo....

same here mate.most of all go out and enjoy yourself watch other riders on sections you will soon pick it up and when you do its so addictave mate.thats what trials is all about whatever class you ride everyone comes off now and agian.what can you say

Sounds like a good enough excuse ferrit. Im about to start and havnt ridden for 20 years. The times getting closer...

After attending the last 2 World Championship events held in Duluth Minnesota I traded my "01 KTM 250Exc for a '99 GG TXT321. It's winter here in MN and I've barely ridden the GG at all. I'm very excited about becoming a crappy trials rider. I'm hoping that having an experienced trialer helping me will help me progress at a less glacial pace. This gentleman, Steve Ahlers, has been the trialsmaster at all the Duluth World Rounds and I helped a little setting up the '05 event. My 7 year old daughter is going to learn with me but first I have to replace the GG TXT50 Boy that some LOSER stole this Winter. I have been watching the Ryan Young video alot as well as a training video put out by Mark Manniko and Tommy Ahvala. Nice info, but I need to get out there and PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!! I do have 120 or so acres to practice in though.

Sorry for the long first post but I'm a long-winded old guy.

don't worry mate, we all start somewhere
