grantham Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 1st was David Herka, junior world champion (the guy who bent the front wheel) and second was vasek, I think Vasek should have won hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I dont think trials should be freestyle'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Dave your only Jealous. Well done Patt, would love to know which rider was you, I couldn't spot you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 HOLY SH*T THAT WAS SICK! This is what the future of trials riding should be all about, linking stuff together with flair and energy minus the bmx tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tris Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Quite a lot of that was BMX tricks to be honest. 180's and 360's are BMX, as are full cabs, hang loose, footjams (think i saw a guy do a footjam), hop no footers etc.Theres nothing wrong with bringing a bit of BMX to trials It's just a shame half the components on trials bikes aren't built strong enough..... hahaa to that guys wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Why dont we have this in the UK?I'm in no way against proper traditional comps but this I see being VERY popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Bet that was a LOT harder than it looks. Really good riding! Techy to the max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mista-neos Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I say we get this in the UK. Whos with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Vasek definetly should have won that, had his crankflips dialed!!!So very original freestyle there i must say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I dont think trials should be freestyle'dWhat ? no way !! I think a jam style comp would gain a much larger entry than a normal comp in this country... As long as the course is decent it could be amazing !! best thing about that vid was - Im sure I saw a mod rider do a proper Xup !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 What do you class as a proper X up? Or was it the fact that it was a "mod rider doing a X up" that you were getting at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
