Super Sketch Fest
We got some snow this week making our usual spots unrideable. So we went to Tony’s place to ride on sketchy wooden features in the parking lot.

We’ve been remodeling our kitchen, so I haven’t ridden much lately. Despite having the builders working in the house, I needed to get on my bike and ride.
This year I’m planning what is hopefully the first of an annual series of indoor winter bike trials events that are fun for trials and non-trials riders alike.
I’m off to a pretty slow start with respect to trials riding in 2024. But I managed to make some videos.
Using the main posts from my son’s old playscape and some other scraps of wood, I built a set of skinny beams, that I just needed to ride.
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.
Small rocks, particularly ones with varied surfaces, provide great low-consequence bike control practice. They provide a great challenge for rear wheel moves.
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.
