Videos and reflections on riding sessions and events.
Soccer season has started – the park was loaded with people. We drew some attention with our biking antics, but mostly people at least pretended to ignore us.
Trials video edits often show riders executing moves and lines perfectly and effortlessly. That’s usually not how it works, for any level of trials rider.
It was over 90F and humid, but we went for a ride anyway. Ryan’s brakes locked up due to the heat, Tony unlocked a new cheat, and Scott nailed massive rollups.
I was taking it pretty easy. I started slow, but was actually doing some halfway decent lines. Until a brutal shin dig sent me to the emergency room!
With thunderstorms threatening, Dan, Scott, and I began our trials biking session in the woods. Tony and Jim soon arrived with beer (and no bikes) to heckle us.
Fails and bails are an integral part of trials. To celebrate failure, I’ve begun compiling the best crashes, fails, and bails for each year starting in 2021.
Jim and I rode our trials bikes on some rocks in the woods this week. I could not seem to keep my feet on the pedals and neither one of us had our mojo.
This was one of those bike trials group rides where despite being hot as heck, it actually had a good turnout.
This week it was supposed to rain, and the rest of the trials crew already had plans. Perfect time to ride pallets in the yard!
Sometimes things go sideways faster than you can process what’s happening. Sometimes the rocks win. Alex had a pretty bad crash that day.
