I Built Some New Skinny Beams
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.
I’ve been wanting to ride this spot in town for a couple years, mostly to practice skinnies on the phone poles around the parking area. I finally decided to go!
After a couple weeks being off the bike due to work schedules and illness, I was finally able to get back on my trials bike for a short session in the driveway.
Apparently this disc golf course is also great for bike trials riding – tons of rocks! This was my first time riding this location. I love trying new spots!
Veteran trials pro Mike Steidley and novice trials rider Jose joined me for this week’s group ride. It was great to finally meet Jose in person.
