Trialsin or Biketrials

Cycling is a universal sport. Earlier in my blog,I have mentioned that learning to cycle is a natural process in growing up. Most people in Malaysia will give up cycling when they reach puberty age. Parents start to drive their kids to school,tuition classes even for shopping. Some buy their children motorbikes and even cars. How lucky todays kids are. It should not be so. Cycling should be continued until late into our lives. It is a healthy form of exercise and environmentally friendly activity. It is also an effective commuting tool. Human powered mobility will be the thing for the future as fossil fuel is becoming more scarce each day. It is going to become a major sporting event some day. Those who excel in cycling can proceed to cycling competitively and even professionaly.They are many forms of cycling disciplines. Track racing is becoming popular locally as our own rider Azizul Hasni Awang who is one of top riders in the world. He is fully responsible for making the Malaysian public sit down and take notice.Others are BMX racing,freestyle,road riding,mountainbiking and downhilling but mostly as recreations. There is one discipline in bicycle activity totally unknown in Malaysia which is termed as Biketrials. It is a popular form of bicycle activity and competition in Europe,America and Japan. There is a World Championship series being held every year since the early eighties.The riders taking part are fully sponsored pros who make good living as fulltime riders.Currently this sport is being promoted aggresively in Asian countries by Japan. World Championship rounds are held in Japan,China and Singapore. I used to ride mototrials and biketrials and fully understand the sport. I would like to further promote this beautiful sport and create a bigger talent pool. It is more of an unfullfilled wish for me having failed to promote them years ago. It was simply too early for our public to understand then. Presently with the availability of internet and other medias they began to get the idea. I am training my children to take up the sport profesionaly.They can progress to Mototrials in the future if they so desire.To my friends who would like their children to learn and take up this sport, they are welcomed to get in touch with me. I can share my experiences and maybe change the way our children spend their free time towards a more productive one and keep them off the streets. At least it will train them to build up self confidence which are lacking in our children today.Maybe there is a world champion material lurking among them. We can share our passion for offroad riding with our children by combining these two sports. We will provide a good base for them to progress in a proper manner while we guide them all the way.....our way. Biketrials is not expensive and the cost of maintaining the bikes is practically zero. Parents just need to invest in the bike and some protective gears,spare sometime during their training sessions,thats it.
