Used to ride them years back, and they're good fun. Never got particularly good - especially not at the street stuff, but it does help with very technical riding and also gives you something to do when you've only got half an hour or so.

Plenty of cheap trials bikes on ebay

To be honest i can't ever see myself being able to do anything like that so no.

I think I would, money permitting, love to have another bike though, maybe a happy hardcore hardtail bike for messing around on trails and woods. But then I'd also love a full suss too. One day maybe.

I am quite realistic that my skill set and ability, I won't be able to achieve much with a BMX but these do look nice.

I love watching the street stuff it's looks fantastic. Saw some "live" in Morzine last year a joy to watch.

Still got my Saracen M.A.D. trials frame in the garage. A friend got me into it at uni, and although i only did it for a couple of years (and never got particulary good) I mastered trackstands and it brought my bike control on miles. ๐Ÿ˜€
