That discipline will learn ya sum skills, yo!

Larry is good people...we are all doing our best to grow the sport...it's coming along slowly....Trials will teach you how to ride.
DrZ...you need a Trails bike again!

I need another trials bike like I need a hole in my head.

I barely get out to ride my bikes as it is.

Trials is a niche sport. Not many peeps are willing to go through the training and learning of the sport IMO.

It's a lot more popular today than it was when I was into it about 15 years ago. Lot's of the top endurocross and extreme enduro riders have a trials background.

and also, how bad of a rider you really are!

I was thinking I might like a trials bike to play with. I talked to three older riders who did just that. All three agreed they spent a lot of time injured...

It seems the sport -especially in learning stage - is prone to falls, and usually in rocks or bad places and therefore lots of minor injuries and broken bones.

I opted out... I too have more bikes than time.

^^^ that thing is SO tempting!

The problem with Trials is everyone wants to jump , ride or go up stuff. They try to do this before they can balance the bike bike at 0 mph & ride full lock circles at 0.1 mph....learn to crawl before you run.
Trials is the core prinicples of riding anything on wheels & once you can balance endlessly in 1 spot & can control the bike, then by al means go for it. It has improved my balance & bike control....it has made other types of riding even more rewarding.

Tossing this one out there. Price is $5,500 for inmates.

If you are hurting yourself, you are doing it wrong and are riding over your ability.

I need to get another one, my skills have got rusty.

I used to have a great time just riding in circles in my driveway or on a simple back yard course.....nothing huge or hard, just constantly polishing the skill set.

Do it until you can make it
Then do it until you can make it without putting a foot down.
Then do it until you can make it without a bobble.
Then do it until you can do it in your sleep.

Then do something harder.

tighten up the figure 8 to smaller than a 1 car parking spot
standing on the bike at 0 mph is HARD

Standing......Bluh.

Now this is a true panty-dropper. If it weren't for the two extra zero's in the price, I'd be in, if only to get my mitts on that crooked ass old crt TV! I wonder if "I Dream of Jeannie" is still available on that old sonofabitch?

Good balance and temporal arteries in demonstrably good condition.
