[KyleT]

Who's coming to Adelaide for the next Mt. Torrens comp? Hopefully the weather will be better than last time, it was shite. :rant2:

[sharpe]

[hydroboy]

Test week at the moment.

[KyleT]

Ahhhh....the joys of being in a lower grade. Problem is i will get the exams in Yr11 and 12. Dammit. Probably get them in Uni too

[icecreamsammy]

Looks like the 31st of october, its a moto trials place so its pretty schmick, should be nice and dry, unlike the comp back in may.

[KyleT]

Yeah, back in may it was all wet and shite. It better be dry, or i will be mega pissed off

Trials = Riding in different weather conditions over different obstacles.

Rain makes it more challenging and fun.


SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!

[pav]

yeh rush has a point here, riding in the rain is very fun actually! I like doing it and i do it alot also! no complaints, especially at a comp!

[KyleT]

I didn't know that weather came into the definition of trials. I thought it was just riding over obstacles. The weather is just there, does what it wants. If it was 25 degrees every day for a year, no change in humidity, no rain, etc and you were doing pedal hops onto logs, you're basically saying that that's not trials because the weather isn't different....

[rush]

Ill re-phrase, trials = riding over obstacles regardless of weather conditions.

It = the skill of negotiating said obstacle even when it is wet, or dry, or covered in man-plasma.

Man just ride, if you ride for one day in the wet you will be so much better the next time its dry. Its for your own benefit.


Sook. :)

[hydroboy]

especially at a comp!
Have you ever been to one? :rofl:

[icecreamsammy]

Kyle didnt even ride at the last mt torrens, he sat on his bike and watched ;) you should have ridden kyle, it was fun.

[Peace]

fark mt torrens! port elliot is the only comp i have dedicated myself to every year! next year im organising a house and a bunch of ppl from sydney and canberra (possibly other states, depends what moood im in) and we are stayin for 5 days. k gotta get onto that soon, instead of just talkin about it!
Peace

The reason I didn't ride last Mt Torrens is because the bike i was sitting on I had just bought, and was 20" instead of 26", not what i was used to. Plus, i got there too late, but i don't give a shit. I am just grateful for Dave giving me a lift up there in the first place. Next time, I will ride for sure.
