What you see on TV and You Tube is trials at the professional level. At the local level it is much different and you could very well do it on a regular bike. Back in the early '90s, I went to an event to help the club (flagging, scoring, etc) and they had a beginner, intermediate and expert class but very few riders. I rode the intermediate class on an '87 KX250 and took 3rd. Intermediates did the same course as the expert except for the final obstacle. After the event, we were all goofing around and a did a single dab (more like my foot slipped of fthe peg) on that one.
The gap between the pro's and the unwashed masses is like the Superbowl to a empty lot tag game.
