Motivation Quote by Sete Gibernau

"It's quite easy to start Trials riding. You just need a bike and you're set"

About this Quote

There is a sly kind of evangelism in Sete Gibernau's breezy promise: "It's quite easy to start Trials riding. You just need a bike and you're set". Coming from an elite racer, the line lands like an invitation from someone who knows exactly how intimidating two wheels can feel. The charm is in the casual flattening of barriers. No gatekeeping vocabulary, no fetishization of technique, no performative suffering. Just the minimum viable entry point.

The subtext is aspirational, but also strategic. Trials riding is a niche discipline that can look like physics cosplay: balance, micro-movements, obstacles that seem designed to humiliate beginners. By insisting it's "quite easy to start", Gibernau shifts the psychological load away from mastery and onto participation. The word "start" does all the heavy lifting. He's not claiming you'll hop boulders by Sunday; he's telling you the first step is not a credential, it's a decision.

"You just need a bike" is both democratizing and quietly revealing. In an era when action sports are increasingly packaged through expensive gear, curated content, and influencer-level competence, he points to the one non-negotiable and strips away the consumer checklist. Of course, the line also hides the truth athletes always hide when recruiting new people: the learning curve is brutal, and "easy" really means accessible, not effortless.

Context matters: Gibernau, a MotoGP-era figure, speaks from a culture where talent is mythologized. This is an attempt to puncture that myth and grow the tribe. It's less a how-to than a permission slip.
