Im +- 1.85 meters long and was thinking the new 20 inch meta mod bike is a better way to start cause im pretty used to a bmx.
Hope you guys have some good advice. Cause i really want to start trials quick :D

my other option is the

yu must be rich
if you are really stoked on trials you can buy these but they are not begginers bike for sure. i mean they are really good bikes, but you can learn all the basics on less expensive bikes.

if you're used to bmx it will probably be easier with mod. So the meta might be your best bet

Both of those bikes are not cheap, but definitely very good bikes. I wouldn't go so far as to call them "beginner bikes." Boumm said it best.

Be careful though, the one in the pic has no peddles...

I'd go with a mod.... they're more fun.

im still struggling with the choice, mod or stock :S
I watched a lot of movies and i like both riding styles a lot.
I cant ride naturals around my here its mostly urban. So maby a stock is better to drive from A to B:wtf:
