Default japanese translation of "trials"


since shiken is usually used as meaning a school test, i think this may
not be best. kokoromi comes from the verb kokoromiru (which is the most
common word for "try"). the problem is that it would be better to use a
less common word for the name of the sport (it wouldnt be as cool to
call "trials" riding "attempt" riding or "try" riding). so another word
may be tameshi (from the verb tamesu). i think kokoromi would be best
since it sounds like kokoro which means heart, or mind, and represents
the soul.
