with my GT Avalanche? or do i have
to get a trial bike ? cuz i really dont

you can learn basics on the bike but eventually you will want a trials specific bike if you choose to stay with trials.

This may surprise some but the avalanche at one point was hans rey's bike. He designed it and rode it for a while. That being said his components were of a different calibre from the stock lineup. This is a decent bike to start with, but be prepared to be replacing components as you get better. With experience you will likely get a new bike though, mostly from jealousy of those long based, gloriously complex looking trials specific bikes that are featured in most online videos.

Why do people always ask if their bike is ok after purchasing it? You can do trials on it well enough, you don't have more money, so roll with it.
