Ok, i'm kinda old for trials ...but I grew up on trials riding, and years of it.
Having started in BMX racing at a very young age I quickly moved over to trials back in the UK, in the days of Martin Ashton, Martyn Hawes and Hans Rey.
Moving to Aus in the late 90's there was no trials riding to be found, not a murmur. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places but the internet wasn't really a thing back then so I just went my own way and fell into dirt jumping and DH.
I spent a few years riding trials alone through the streets of Wollongong and Sydney only to then find a group of riders on rotorburn (or Farkin as it was back then) that rode the Sydney streets on a thursday nights out of the CBD (City Bike Depot) but that group seems to have disbanded and am now wondering if there's people in the Sydney area that are keen to pedal around sometimes on a weeknight? Just looking to fool around and session a few gaps, benches, or whatever takes our fancy as that was the kind of riding I used to love, what I lived for.
I would have thought the whole Danny MacAskill phenomenon would have brought things into the limelight on the trials front but not seen any signs of life in Sydney just now... anyone keen for a pedal, even if it's just basic balance and skills riding I'm happy to go for a roll.
Anyone keen?
