Wow, impressive.
I know some trials riders but they aren't this good. Yes, they did get lots and lots of "ouchies" trying to learn that stuff. The guys I know also use elbow, knee and shin guards as well as the helmet and gloves.  Cricket

Wow, I'm impressed -- especially during what looked like a 20-25ft drop.

Very impressive. The only practical use I can see would be a job in the circus.

Man Brad you live in the Mecca of mountain biking. I haven't been on a MB in a long time, but when I lived in Colorado alot of my DH buddies would head up to your area to do some real riding. They would come back with some great video. Now that I live in the concrete jungle I don't get to ride MB much any more. Isn't Roland Green from B.C.? That guy was a power house. I was in a race with him at Winter Park in 99'. I never saw him until the podium....I wasn't on it.
Those trials riders have some amazing control and balance. Lots of fun to watch. |

i can't remember were green is from . there are so many good mountain bikers from b.c , it seems everyone is going pro around here , its sort of nice when you can go out and ride with them you learn so much . and the tire vs bottom question , lets just say its why we wear kevlar shorts . |
