How to spot a trials rider -
We have to go deep, deep into the wilderness to find these rare and fragile spieces of mountain biker. But when we do they're normally -
Getting shouted at by old ladies
Trying to fix their Maguras
Trying to bend something back into place
Getting chased by security guards
Taking chunks out of brick walls
Riding with a flat tyre
Bleeding
At their local skatepark
Getting annoyed and swearing at walls and other obstacles
Getting funny looks from people
With a shreaded right trouser leg
With blisters on their hands
Doing drops that normal people wouldn't even dream about doing even without a bike
