Hi all, as the title suggest i'm looking to get into trials riding in 2015, so any hints and tips would be much appreciated.

Stewie, quite a few of us from Surrey TRF are regularly riding trials now.

Hookwood trials club in Horsley is very good

Don't go too mad with your first bike. They all have loads of torque. I have a GasGas TXT 200 and it's got ample power and always manages to find grip
(well, almost always)

Stewie,

Steve Mc C and I have also been campaigning our twinshocks in the Thames Valley Trials Club (TVTC) league this year. It is a really friendly club and they have some lovely venues.

Yesterday we were at Warren Heath nr Camberley, with Gavin and Graham. The trial consisted of three four mile laps with twelve sections per lap and four different routes in each section. It was a great event and a lovely ride round with some super single track between sections.

As Gavin mentioned the Hookwood trials club is a really good venue and their trials practice day is well worth attending, every fourth Saturday and £20 for the day.
