Trials requires great balance and a bike that weighs in at around 160lbs. It is amazing to watch what these people can do on a Trials bike, not to mention the Mountain Biker’s who do some very impossible tricks without the motor.

I have been practicing riding a friends Trials bike and to tell you the truth just trying to learn the new discipline is not easy. If I can last twenty minutes riding around obstacles and practicing balance I am happy and my poor body is like rubber or jelly. Odd but true, this is a difficult type of riding but I hope will help me in my trail rides, its proven to help many world champions so maybe this was what was binding me to the surly bonds of mediocrity in trail riding and soon I will blossom and become a world class champion in my own…eyes
At this point what more can I ask? Peace Trials JW
