So you thought you were a good motorcycle rider???

Re: So you thought you were a good motorcycle rider???

...rides like me. Joking. That puts me to shame. Hell, I can't wheelie long on the 700r anyways. It'd take me days to compile enough wheelies to amount to what this gent has.

Thanks for sharing that vid. Cool stuff.

Been into dirt bikes since I was 8. It's always been a mini-dream to see a trials comp in the woods. Those dudes basically rock climb with their bikes.

Guys got skills...but that's essentially a bicycle with an engine and better suspension. Not even close to possible on a real (heavy) motorcycle.

I rode trials for many yrs, finally competing in expert class in the state level. I've had the fortune of watching all kinds of "motorcross" guys try to do what I was doing, & it is hysterical. Most crashed hard, & broke something on there bike, & left. I usually got something like "that's not a bike, it's a mountain goat with wheels." Lots of fun, but to stay good you need to practice a lot. If you want to see some great stuff google observed trials at donner pass.

A friend, who immigrated from Sheffield, with a trials bike was showing me how to do it on his acreage. He was jumping a log, fell over and crushed his leg. While he was lying on the ground moaning, all I could think to say was, "That's what SHE said."

Later he got upside down real hard and hit his head. He said it caused his sinuses to drain.
