A few of our upper grade riders had a bit of a play during the lunch break of a training day last weekend. Whipped out the Gopro to get some of the action... not Toni Bou-challenging stuff but fun to watch! Features Ruben Chadwick, Brad Bryant, Boyd Willcocks and Tom Wager from Western Districts Trials Club. Want to learn how to ride a trials bike? Trials riding must be the best kept secret in the world of motorbikes but for some reason moto-trials (or observed trials) is only big in Europe and the UK. Many countries there are just a handful of trials clubs in each country. This introduction to trials explains why trials riders are so glad they are in on the secret - we reckon you should be too! Visit your local moto-trials club and chat with some trials fanatics today. Trial is the world's most popular participatory motorcycle sport. In Australia about one thousand riders compete, - in Europe hundreds of thousands compete regularly. Trial riders compete in ALL weather conditions! The term midlife crisis was coined by Elliott Jaques in 1965. More modern research has shown midlife crisis is not a phase that most middle-aged people actually experience, and some have questioned the existence of this phenomenon. Unlike most other forms of motorcycle sport, Trial is not racing. It is simply you and your bike pitted against the terrain. Trial is a sport of balance, skill and concentration.
So many riders on our Traction eRag trips say that it's about so much more than dirt riding - it's helped with depression, anxiety, life direction and midlife crisis. A midlife crisis is a transition of identity and self-confidence that can occur in middle-aged individuals, typically 45-64 years old. One at a time, competitors will ride over an obstacle course of boulders, streams, hill climbs, logs, drop offs, and nearly anything else they can find. There are trials classes for everyone. From Juniors of 16 years of age - down to barely walking, through to Veterans from 40 to 70+. There are trials classes to cover all rider ability levels, with Expert, A, B, C, and Clubman/Novice levels. There are also classes for Masters (35+). Other classes include Sidecar, Post-Classic (twin shock) and Classic. Whilst it is spectacular and sometimes appears dangerous at the top level, moto trials is a very safe sport. Speed and other competitors are not factors likely to cause incidents, so the sport of trials remains very safe. It is described as a psychological crisis brought about by events that highlight a person's growing age, inevitable mortality, and possibly shortcomings of accomplishments in life. It, midlife crisis, can result in feelings of depression, remorse, and anxiety, or the desire to achieve youthfulness or make drastic changes to their current lifestyle.
