  • Love the DCD! remember those? I had a purple ano one on my cross country rigid mtb converted to trials use.

  • @wardsta23 Purple was all the rage!!! I dug out my DCD ('Dave's Chain Device' named after Dave Hemming wasn't it?) last year and sold it on eBay - I think I got what I originally paid for it.

  • Where are those woods at the start? They look like Winscombe near Wavering Down to me.

    Nice riding chaps :)

  • @eayrider9 They used to be known locally as Skelly Woods and are in Fareham.  I think these are fenced off now and inaccessible - probably because people got hurt doing silly stunts on their bikes!!!! lol.

  • Umm... Using a trials bike might be a good idea ?

  • @lewizzz1 In 1993, this is what a trials bike was. You got a cross country bike, took the big ring off and lowered the saddle. It isn't like today where everything is custom for the sport - those bikes didn't exist. The Zaskar was considered the best bike for the job at the time. BTW, I do have a modern Mod Stock trials bike now.

  • Old MTB where far better to feel the real taste of the sport... Great frames from GT

  • And with SPD... good!!!

  • its metal how far things have moved on

  • whats the name of this song??

  • Down here in Cincinnati a group of us (20 or so) ride full suspension trials, Most of us are on C'dale Super V's. A lot o our riding looks like old school trials (before everyone started riding like a uni-cyclist) Its like twinshock moto trials. thanks for posting this I'll try and get a video of our next meeting posted.
