For reference, here are two vids I shot that same summer of 2009. Note my traditional “competition” bike and riding style. I learned and adopted this technique from watching all the Hans Rey and Ot Pi trials VHS videos when I started way back when.
And here is a video I shot at the peak of my skills.
I have been off the trials bike for a few seasons, but will be back on it again this year to see if I can get close to those prior abilities.
