Trail Trial is a form of non competitive off road riding activity on a dirt bike. The main trail that we choose is mainly single track and littered with natural obstacles i.e. rocks,tree roots,natural switch backs, climbs,dropoffs etc. Suitable bikes are those which are lighweight,not too big with just enough power. Exhaust should be not to loud because we do not want to disturb nature as well as other life beings. Four stroke engined dirt bike is more suitable for this kind of activity.
I term it as Trail Trial because I want to promote responsible trail riding where speed is not a criteria.
Trial is a from of motorsport which is popular in Europe. The riding requires skill rather than blind speed. I choose to combine Trail and Trial for few reasons among which:
1. Trail is easily available
2. Affordable Trail bikes are available
3. Trial is hardly known in Malaysia and I wish to promote this sport
4. Pure trial bike is a rare commodity here but trail bike will do for recreational trial
5. The riding will provide extra skill for road riders to handle their bikes better when on the
road,hence more safety
So in future I will document our activities and also give some pointers on how to ride Trail Trial.
Ride safe always
