Jereme recently built a dirt jump (DJ) bike to use for different biking purposes, including trials. We discovered this week that this particular build is not well suited for trials. Obviously the geometry isn’t the same as trials, but the hub, gearing, and tires are also not optimized for trials. Regardless, sometimes it’s cool just to try something different!
This week’s trials biking group ride was loosely defined by three(ish) challenges that we took turns at with varying levels of success.
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.
