Do any of you Trials players have any skills on a real bike? | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

So I'm new to the forum and the game and wildly addicted to both!

I'm far from being good at the game yet but I find it easy to pick up on due to my motocross experience. Not the insane advanced stuff, but the general physics like the weight transfer, positioning and flow.

Does anyone here have any skills on a real bike? Mx, trials, street... Any type really. And if so, who's the best?

Malachyte (at http://www.malachyte.net ) and Lesteopie are two that I know of.

I'm sure there are others. I used to do insanely stupid BMX stuff until my hefty* brother tried to jump a 7 foot gap between two concrete step sides and snapped the front fork off of my bike.

That was only 13 years ago. He also had the same bike but my patents said I was dumb for letting him try something like that and I should have known better (he's 2 years older) and let him keep his bike while I was left with the shattered remnants of my BMX dreams... And bike.


Edit: I forgot to welcome you to the forums. Thanks for joining and for bringing up bad memories!

I remember reading about lestrophie in his gameinformer interview. He actually credited his real life skills if I recall correctly.

[RetiredRonin]

Yes he did. He's also seen by many as THE Trials HD player by which standards were set. He quit playing a while back and still has amazing times.

Other people think he is insanely overrated, but what do they know? Jealousy, plain and simple.


This post will certainly catch some flak. Please, everyone, take it in the lighthearted manner in which it was intended.

I may be faster than Lestropie but I still personally think he's a better rider than me. His runs on bounce and badlands were insane for their time and his run on badlands is still insane now.

So do you have any real motorcycle experience kyoshi?

Nope. As far as I know, the only good trials hd players that have bike skills irl are Malachyte and Lestropie.

HeetSauce rides BMX I think, seen him jumping some ghetto ramps in the photo thread a while back.
