Here’s one way to prepare for an upcoming bike trials competition
Since the Bentonville Bike Fest was just around the corner, Jim brought colored tape to make gates for four mock bike trials competition sections in the woods.

He discovered trials by accident as a teenager. Now he’s a partner and performer with Dialed Action Sports, providing entertainment and inspiration.
With winter here, I’m already thinking about upgrades to my backyard bike trials area for the coming spring.
My buddy Jim and I traveled to the Arrowhead Bike Farm in Fayetteville, WV to participate in their 3rd annual trials competition. This event was so much fun!
I love riding trials so much that it’s hard to stop once I start. I was able to pull off some pretty cool lines until I literally just could not ride anymore.
To try something different this year, I hosted an indoor trials jam at the Peace Dale Ramp Room in RI. Highlights included a trials mini comp and a gap contest.
Despite the forecast for rain, I needed to get out on my trials bike. The slots in the pallets messed with me in multiple ways. The slippery wood didn’t help.
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.
There’s a lot to do in preparation for the 2024 Indoor Winter Trials Jam, so I’ve been busy. Last weekend I built some stuff, though there’s still more to do.
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!
