It shows how you really have to let the bike become an extension of your own body. I dropped my bike twice one year, and got it caught on fire last time I rode it. And that was just plane ol riding. hehehe. Goes to show whimps shouldn't try that stuff at home. But it was soo ooooo oooo much fun and a sense of freedom, once you know the road well. Thanks for the memories, GW. Ohno, Gee Dub! ahahahahaaaaa! get it? I am duly impressed by that video. It shows how you really have to let the bike become an extension of your own body.

I want to see you in action though. Got any video? I didn't know there was a motorized version of trials...very cool. I've only ever seen the bike version and Hans "no-way" Rey http://www.hansrey.com/ My bike envy just went way up. Great photos Griff. I want to see you in action though. Got any video?
