Ok maybe niche title. I try all a thousand times as on paper they seem to tick lots of boxes(reckon for bike tricks they are ideal) I always felt under-skilled and maybe my fault for not trying to learn skills and riding like I was in a race.

Conclusion for me they are compromised on anything other than rocks kerbs logs tree stumps park benches steps low walls car parks sea defenses abandoned buildings construction sites palettes confined spaces skinnies ledges farm yards pump tracks skate parks skate bowls railings skips bike racks civic buildings.

Shell suits new emporer 😀

Am talking about the non motorised variety that you pedal!

I use mine for bikepacking no problem. I think the problem here lies not with the bike..

Jack Carthy riding around his back garden on you tube is dead impressive. Ali Clarkson's second hand pink trials bike vlogs are rather fun too.

Especially when you see a friend's eleven year old kid hopping up onto five pallets on a XC bike and you're struggling to get up four... Must try harder

See, that's what I'm missing to be able to get good at trials.
