Focus on riding natural obstacles such as rocks and logs versus manmade objects or features.
This late winter/early springtime has been giving us plenty of rain and clouds, but we were lucky to have a beautiful (yet windy) day to ride between rainy days.
For a few weeks we had some snow on the ground keeping us from riding on the rocks. With the snow gone, the rocks are open riding again!
I’m off to a pretty slow start with respect to trials riding in 2024. But I managed to make some videos.
I tried riding on this stone wall a couple years ago and had a hard fall. This time I took a different angle, choosing to go up and over versus rear wheel hops.
This one location in the woods has so many trials line opportunities! Even old lines were made new with the addition of a fallen tree.
While most of the crew struggled to do anything today, Scott threw himself at everything. He demonstrated successes, near wins, and spectacular fails.
With these shorter days and artificially shortened afternoons, it’s challenging not only to leave work earlier, but even to get in a normal length ride.
I’ve been wanting to ride this spot in town for a couple years, mostly to practice skinnies on the phone poles around the parking area. I finally decided to go!
Apparently this disc golf course is also great for bike trials riding – tons of rocks! This was my first time riding this location. I love trying new spots!
Veteran trials pro Mike Steidley and novice trials rider Jose joined me for this week’s group ride. It was great to finally meet Jose in person.
