That has been my off road sport since 1974. Certainly not at that skill level and it is amazing the progression of skills and techniques over that 35 year time span. When I started it was all striaght ahead riding. it was Bernie Schrieber, the first and only American World Champion that introduce the "bunney hop" and from then on everything was different. The lightest bikes, the GasGas Raga Replica are down to 146 lbs now.
Trials will really teach you throttle brake and clutch control and contrary to most peoples thinking the risers can ride really fast. While the sections are all about slow controlled riding you need to be abel to get around the loop to all the sections in a time limit so while rider willtake their time loking at a seciton and riding it, it is nothignbut high speed motoring on the loop. It is no wonder that the best of the extreme enduro riders are all ex world champions or top world riders
