We do not have rentals available at this time. The boots Cory Jordan was talking about (the ones like slippers) Are Gaerne - the balance oiled ones. With trials the MX boot doesn't give you enough flexibility. They are too stiff and the soles are different. -Ashley You do need to have your own Trials bike for Trials Training Days.

What are the boots that are comfy as slippers and recommended for trials? I wanna know also. Are mx boots generally too tall for full mobility on a trials bike? Thanks Do you need to already own a trials bike to participate in TTD or will rentals or demos be available? What are the boots that are comfy as slippers and recommended for trials?

My hope is that when my girls get a bit older I can have them in the show doing some very basic moves and show the audience than a 9-10 yr old girl can do trials and so can they. Happy 2012!!

I think it's a valid criticism but it's also true for other sports, for example Supercross and Endurocross in stadiums where many people have no clue that there are club-level Motocross and Enduros events for those starting out. With On The Edge, Tom McNeil really wants to educate people and get them to try trials, which is why he says in his press release: <blockquote> Our goals are to provide top notch entertainment at events and also introduce people to trials and encourage them to try it out... If trials demos aren’t connecting the dots to events or venues where interested individuals can try trials out we are really missing the boat. That’s why we encourage people to come to the Trials Training Center and learn more about the sport and take a class. </blockquote> Hi Marion, thanks for chiming in.

Your demo's should include novices that are doing some very simple 'stunts'. Showing nose wheelies, jumping up on cars, riding up on the top of the truck, etc. will, in some cases, give the impression that "all trials riders' are nuts. I've had people tell me that they attended a trials exibition in Kansas City and will never get into trials, because they "just ain't that stupid". I tried to explain that you start out in the beginners class and go up from there, but... not sure if I got through to them or not.
