Picnic Tables & Rocks: Made for Biking
This was one of those bike trials group rides where despite being hot as heck, it actually had a good turnout.
There’s more than just one type of trials riding!
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.
It’d been a while since I’d ridden with my local trials biking crew due to people’s schedules (including mine) and the Bentonville Bike Fest. What a blast!
Prior to the North American Trials Championship competition at the 2023 Bentonville Bike Fest, several of us went downtown for a bike trials group ride.
When the trials biking gang gets together, fun ensues! I was out with an injury when this was filmed in summer 2022, but was still busy making trials videos.
While not obvious, Mike and I both felt stiff and sore. I spent forever working on some lines. For a struggle though, our riding was better than I expected.
Mike Steidley and I spent several hours riding the rocks along the Narragansett coast. My competition trials bike is still broken, so I rode my Inspired Arcade.
The rain started just as we began riding, making the wooden features of the trials park wet and slippery. And a load of cops showed up!
It was a gorgeous afternoon. There were lots of lines and obstacles to ride. Everything was going well, until… it wasn’t.
