Thanks a ton! I really appreciate the quick response

Who's ready to dust off that old creaky trials bike and ride in a comp again? The Colorado Springs crew is looking to put on one or two comps this year, and we're calling it a series! Heck, we're even looking at reviving the Trials from the Crypt from years past. Getting crazy here, I tell ya...

You are still in high school. Its not too late. Forget about trials and find a hobby that isn't dead and won't make you look like a weird dork.
