just starting out

[Adam_ford1]

Hi i am just thinking of starting trials....i am not sure if i would be any good at it......also if i do i am not sure weather to get a 20 or 26 inch one of my friends rides a 26 and the other rides a 20....i dont have that much money to spend and i am a bit stuck.....plz give me ur sugestions ......thanx a lot :)

[sotsog]

Hi Adam, if I were you, try both of your friends bikes, and see which you prefer, hope you have a lot of fun learning to ride, I have started only a couple of months back and I'm getting better now,

where in the UK are you???

[Adam_ford1]

camberly near woking......you?...thanx for your reply by the way altho the thing is my friends bike that is a 26 inch is quite a bit more heavier and is not a very expensive bike wheras my other friends 20 inch is a very expensive montey like 1300 pounds worth of bike i have been told that a 20 inch is easier to learn on and i dont know i can afford a good 26inch..what do u think and what do u ride?

[sotsog]

I'm from doncaster, I ride 20 inch, though have rode 26 and don't really like it, bit too big for me,

what height are you?

[Adam_ford1]

I'm quite short for my age considering i am 16.....wot bike do u have....i have just over 300 to spend and i have seen a 20inch i like i am a bit scared i will spend the money and be a right retard at trials.....lol

[sotsog]

Everyone is bad when they start, i bought to start(two months back) a Base TA20, for around 250, i have now got a t-pro frame and a few other extras,

I looked a retard when i first started(still do compared to the rest of the guys), but i'm getting better, we've all gotta start somewhere

[Adam_ford1]

well i am thinking of getting a onza T-bird 2005 20inch .......dont know wot u think but it looks ok considering it comes with HS33's not bad and yeh ur right about getting better at trials practice practice i geus

[sotsog]

yeh, the t-bird is cool, don't get the t-vee, it's not worth it, when the bird has Hydraulics

[Adam_ford1]

yeh exactly wot i thought......ok well thts kool i like the bike and i hope i will get used to it and get half diecent at trials...lol....what bike would u say is eaiest to trials hop a 20 or 26 inch by the way?

[sotsog]

sidehopping, neither is easier,

but back wheel stuff is easier IMO on a Mod, especially a light one,but it's all build and preference really

[Adam_ford1]

i have heard that if u are used to riding a BMX then u generally prefer 20inch trials wheras if u are used to riding mountain bike then u prefer 26inch is this true?

[sotsog]

more than likely, I used to ride road bikes, and i ride 20 inch, however 20 inch is more like a BMX, and what I hate is people who think it's a BMX, chavs come up to you 'do like a bunny hop, grind sorta thing over that tree there'

[Adam_ford1]

LOL ha ha yeh i know we always wait for someone to say why does that BMX have no sadle yeh well.....thats ur chance to make them look really stupid
i dont have a lot of expierience on bikes in general tho is this still ok?

[sotsog]

yehyeh, i had no experience whatsoever with trials or BMX,

we were riding through town, and a kid says 'ohhhhhhhh look it's the BMX crew'

so dimon replied

'ohhhhhhhhh, it's knob jockey'

it's quite funny some of the things people come out with

[Adam_ford1]

LOL thats a good one lol thanx for being patient and answering my questions by the way..

[sotsog]

i started bout a year ago on a da bomb school, not the best make i know, but change a couple of thins and it rides sweet as anything, tghats a great starter bike for you. I had no experience of ridin at all but i found that it was easier to learn on a 20 if your short like me, because its lighter and more manouverable. just my personal preferance though

[Boumsong]

I started riding trials a month of 2ago and i immediatle bought me a koxx levelboss 20" and i'am stil sure this is the best choise i made
grtz

[san]

i'am stil sure this is the best choise i made but i knew i wasn't going to give up riding after a month,so it's up to jou to know if jou want to try out first or not
because when jou are sure jou wil keep riding and first buy a beginnerbike would be a waste of money.wel this was my oppinion

sorry forgot to type the restof the message
