[QUOTE="Girlrider, post: 652377, member: 19703"] Good Job Natalie for trying. So glad to see an enduro rider try it because then they do learn just how hard it can be. Standing actually is not what made you tired. If there was enough alcohol at a camp fire a person could stand all day and never get tired but you get on a trials bike and think it makes you tired. Not really it is just that you were not comfortable on the bike in general so you tensed up and that made you tired. Even when I rode the Scottish Six day and we had a 116 miles that day it really was not that bad. Of course you do sit on the roads some. Were you signed up in the easiest class? In Colorado in the easiest class you would basically ride a straight light with a slight turn. Your line sounded hard for a first time rider. As for enduro bikes hurting a trials rider. It really does not. But if all you do is ride enduro and think you can come ride trials then you are wrong. Taking up trials definitely made me a better enduro rider but when I decided to compete nationally I sold my enduro bike mostly so that I would spend all my time on a trials bike because I had a lot to learn and a lot of catching up to do. Enduro riders don't really use the clutch (Except on a hill they are stuck on) and they have very little throttle control. These 2 things are very important in trials. Also in enduro you take a turn tight, gas it and go. In trials if you cut a corner so much as 1" then you might not make the turn. Last year my balance sucked and I had no throttle control. To fix this I did 2 things which have allowed me to become one of the top National female riders. 1.) All winter all I did was balance in the garage with the motor turned off and 2.) Got a 200 so there was not a much power. The bike has more then enough for me. Balance is the key. Try another one! And tell Karna Great JOB! Nicole [/QUOTE]
