I'd love to see this do the DMV course. One handed, full throttle. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)
We used to do stoppies on our 125's - this guy is nuts, and good. |

Several years ago, the World Trials Championship came to the US for the first time in a zillion years. They ran at a ski resort in the Sierras. I'd seen this stuff on TV, but it was really something to see these guys up close and in person. Really nice event. The spectators all had to jog from one test to the next, and the riders were right there and fully approachable.
The two tests that really stood out: they set up a very tight course in a steeply sloped field of broken rock. There was literally no place at all were a bike could sit with both wheels on one rock, and several of the turns had a tighter radius than one bikelength. I would've had difficulty climbing this on foot...Yet, several riders made it up clean. The other standout was a completely vertical, slick rockface that was about 7ft tall, and the bike was forced by the course to come to a complete stop at the bottom. The only way to do it was to flip the bike back so the rear wheel smacked into the face about 2ft up, gas it while the wheel was against the face, and squirt up, then pitch it forward as the front wheel cleared the top. You had to watch several guys do this before you could even figure out what they were doing. A number of riders mistimed it and fell back with their (fortunately very light) bikes falling on top of them. |

I remember when SPeedvision first aired and they would show Motorsports Mundial. Had some of the coolest racing and Trials riding.
Trials bicycle riding seems to have caught on a tiny bit here in the US. |
