Maybe I'm too stupid to understand but you're calling me a moronic child for writing a sacarstic comment defending Trials? Maybe I should have added at the end of my comment. Or is it for some other reason? Re: didn't trials die in 00?

Trials died with the release of contact. All street riders are converted trials riders. The US is dead, CAN is dieing/converting, europe is flurishing. _________________ there are some stubborn dumb motherf***ers on DM not as dumb as NSMB mind you Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2003 6:04 am Peter NRJP   Joined: Sep 6, 2002 Posts: 2975 Location: Dänmark Maybe france and poland are going well, with the trial riding,.. but apart from that... I got a Hans Rey book, that I got for my birthdays a few years ago. God I f**king hate all that kind of riding that is in that book. I'm glad it's dying out... it stings to look at. However, I find that newer more flowing trial is interesting; which is closer to street riding. But like, pedal-kick drops to flat rearwheel landing... how f**king dull is it?! _________________ imfour.org Posted: Wed Oct 15, 2003 9:50 am Destroy 495mtbcrew   Joined: Nov 23, 2002 Posts: 6934 Location: On my bicycle. I agree with Peter, flowing trials is where its at. now, this thread is locked, go somewhere else... _________________ __________________ | *Sam Adams* |__| ||'|";,____. |_..._...______ ===|=||_|__...._,] "(@)'(@) """"* |(@)(@) *** (@) *Ride dirt.

My only question, and it's an honest non-mocking one, is why do people feel the need to wear a skinsuit to ride trials? I don't think aerodynamics really comes into play at the speeds they're going... _________________ www.imfour.org <- ARS YOU!?

Obviously. But I have yet to see that, so I'm still against it. _________________ www.imfour.org <- ARS YOU!?

I was fortunate and got to ride with him and Ringing Rocks park about 2 weekends ago now, and yes, he still is f***ing sick at it. To everyone complaining that trials is dull: go out and try it sometime. Anyone can ride a bike off a drop and have a half decent landing. But to do a 5'+ drop from a dead stop to a flat landing and not break your wrists (or your bike for that matter) takes more skill than can be learned in a week. I guess trials is where all the riders with any amount of patience end up. (not to say street/dj/dh/etc don't require patience, trials just has a much larger/longer/harder learning curve). _________________ braaaaaaaaaaaaaap
