Wintyfresh 46 Posted June 4, 2017 About nine months ago I picked up a trials bike (2004 Gas Gas TXT 280 Pro), and last month took Gary LaPlante's class. I'm hooked! I know at least a few of you have trials bikes sitting in your garages, begging to be kicked over and pointed at some obstacles. Others are just waiting for their opportunity to ride a trials bike for the first time. My skill level is still solidly in the beginner class, but I've got a teeter totter and two and a half acres of interesting terrain located in Ramona. Just trying to gauge interest in a relaxed practice day event, so please reply if this sounds like your cup of tea! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobATK94 1 Posted June 5, 2017 Hmmmmmm? Always wanted to get into this. Never found anyone who was really interested in getting serious about it, and just didn't know a whole lot of local places to go. Is this private property or your little secret spot? I don't have a trials bike, but I imagine the right terrain or obstacles it could still be challenging and a skill building/learning experience on a light 2 stroke. That's honestly the only reason I keep the 250 2 stroke around, for technical trail riding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm limiting it to trials bikes for now; they tend to be pretty quiet and don't tear up the yard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertaccio 406 Posted June 5, 2017 sounds great thank you for sharing your place!! we can finalize (I need to check schedule as well) and throw on my Michelin gummy trials tire, the Pirelli that's on it is way too hard. http://www.retrotrials.com/1992-beta-zero-260-test.html that's the one I have..but without the Acerbis thermo plastic muffler.
