Trials Vs Soccer Practice
Soccer season has started – the park was loaded with people. We drew some attention with our biking antics, but mostly people at least pretended to ignore us.

Trials video edits often show riders executing moves and lines perfectly and effortlessly. That’s usually not how it works, for any level of trials rider.
It was over 90F and humid, but we went for a ride anyway. Ryan’s brakes locked up due to the heat, Tony unlocked a new cheat, and Scott nailed massive rollups.
With thunderstorms threatening, Dan, Scott, and I began our trials biking session in the woods. Tony and Jim soon arrived with beer (and no bikes) to heckle us.
Fails and bails are an integral part of trials. To celebrate failure, I’ve begun compiling the best crashes, fails, and bails for each year starting in 2021.
Eric was today’s guest trials rider. Scott attempted to ride the narrow sea wall skinny. And Tony broke his bike chain.
Jim and I rode our trials bikes on some rocks in the woods this week. I could not seem to keep my feet on the pedals and neither one of us had our mojo.
This was one of those bike trials group rides where despite being hot as heck, it actually had a good turnout.
Scott really wanted to ride the scary sea wall skinny line, but chose to walk away this time. He has the skill, but the consequence of failure is really high.
Sometimes things go sideways faster than you can process what’s happening. Sometimes the rocks win. Alex had a pretty bad crash that day.
