Trials Riders

One of my favorite parts of the NORBA National at Mount Snow is the
usual pack of trials riders. The leg destroying climbs and mind melting
single track leave you in a different place, making it nice to hunker
down and watch riders do things on two wheels that are simply amazing.
Often the difference between those who do well in a race and those who
don't depends on how smooth one can be in the nasty parts of the
course. Pure bike handling skills.That is what impresses me about the guys who are really good, they are as smooth as a hot knife through buttah. Its not who can throw themselves off the largest rock, its all very calculated and graceful.




We've been watching the new Kranked 6 movie at work. A lot. I'm always forced to stop dead in my tracks and watch Ryan Leech. He is amazing. (Turn your speakers on if you watch the viedos.)



That was the Ryan Leech of a few years ago...he's taken it to another level.
