BikeTrials

Week 45 - On Wheels

Level of Fitness
You will need to be confident on your bike with good handling skills.

The Experience
If you enjoy yourself down your local wheel park and think you have mastered a few skills then it might be time to try them out at a BikeTrial event.  Yorkshire provides probably the best boulders in the country, with some locations such as Addingham Moorside having an international reputation.

BikeTrial is the art and skill of riding your bike over and between obstacles, showing balance and fitness. Ideally not touching the 'section' with anything except the bike!
Some people ride special 20" wheeled bikes, or even smaller for the younger children. Other people ride 26" mountain bikes, others ride the newish 24" bikes. It really doesn't matter which.

The aim is to ride your bike, learn new skills, make new friends and to enjoy yourself!
Come along to a competition, classes at clubs start with Beginners (age 6 to 10), Novice, Intermediate, Expert and Elite ~ self-graded on ability.
Get your bike out and give it a go - Good luck!  The events are also great to spectate at - what people can do on a bike will amaze most.

Have a go
Events happen throughout the year and the activity is physical enough so you won't get cold in winter!
