Yup, it's fun... Have a great spot for learning, nice drop-offs and rock ledges to hop off and on. Going to be quite the challenge, but so far so good... Going to set up a couple additional obstacles to the natural ones in the back of the property.

Congrats. I have always wanted a trials bike.

There is a group that does the trials thing in Berwick ME Sundays. Hit up NEDB and check it out, looks like a good time.

nice score, i've always wanted one too but the learning curve is steep... skills you acquire are invaluable for technical off-road riding.

with the pogo stick in the rear, it pretty much bunny-hops on throttle.

They sell them down here at Gabriel Racing. Really nice bikes. One of the guys is really good at it. Has invited me to go to the trials with him. I think he is a champion at it.

I want to check out a competition locally to see what exactly I should be working on.

I also have an opportunity to run a kids series on electric bikes (hence the push to go get one for myself).

You talking about the oset trials bikes? Saw them online and thinking about getting one for my nephew. Previously got him an xr50 but he is too small for it and I figure the oset might be a better fit.

I might have to come check out the trials series thing if you get it going.

Yes, and sweet... If I do end up running it, you can have one for cost... There is one for sale on RI CL right now also.

[tls25rs]

You working a deal to own/sell the bikes and run the series? That would be sweet.

Just want to work with kids... If I "carry" the bikes (the offer is there) I would most likely be passing them on for cost + freight... It's nto the purpose of the series. Any interest in helping out with it or bringing your nephew around, let me know.

Right now, this is only going to happen if we can come to some agreement on who's paying and how much on the rental bikes for the series.

some pics playing around day 1 with it yesterday...

[khuygie88]

Trials bikes are so cool... I've just been afraid that I won't be able to develop the skills to use one properly. Looks like the front wheel practically stays up on its own though!!

[breakdirt916]

are you first NESRian to buy one?

looks pretty sick...I want one!

Doubt it... but it's a whole new challenge I'm looking forward to. I do know a few peeps I'll be riding with once I get the hang of it. I e-mailed Teach McNeil to see if he was back in the area, and he is... so we'll see if I can step it up!

Ain't much speed to trials riding.

Yea, didn't post the pics to look cool, haha... figured I'd get shit. As mentioned below, not a ton of speed. I plan on wearing armor or vest, and maybe a bern BMX helmet or something. For competition, I believe I'll need a DOT half-face minimum. The full face helmets I have are pretty hard to see with (need full periferral vision of ground).

I'm sure you could try it, mine's freshly washed, or you can just order a nice beanie... I think that's the Shift "Bolt" pattern beanie... Meg bought it.

Friggin sweet!

[obsolete]

Fuggin awesome. I would love to be able to dedicate the time needed to get into trials.

set up some new rocks and going to cut away some brush to gain access to taller natural cliffs. Should be fun on the days the MX track is muddy.
