Gilman Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hey allI wasn't really sure where to put this.I had a radio interview recently and it is up on their website. It really promotes trials. we also talk about my disability briefly. Not sure what you all with think since it is a local station in another country.Either way I think it is good for trials. This was my second radio interview but the first to air. The other one on anotherr station will air sometime this week. I will post that one up as well.Here is the link http://www.wbsbn.com/site/2009/09/intervie...th-matt-gilman/I also just started a web page for my self so check that,as well - www.blindbiketrials.comThanks and let me know what you think.Matt.

haydon_peter Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 That was an interesting listen.Respect for managing to hold it together for nearly 20 minutes! Trials is hard enough to explain to someone who has been watching you ride, let alone to someone over the phone while its being broadcast live over the radio!I recently watched Kranked 8 and there is a section on there about a blind mountain biker in Canada. It was crazy, he is totally blind in his left eye and I think he said he has around 20% vision in his right eye, it was pretty crazy! He follows his friends down the hills to guide him! He was getting air over jumps as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's insane how he can ride so fast around things that don't move when you hit them such as trees. I personally like going slow. I have mad respect for him.Thanks to everyone who listened to it. I have another one in a week or so. The one coming up, the interviewer actually came out to interview me while I was riding. It is also a radio interview.

Greetings Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Having ridden for such a long time, I've had to work on an explanation of bike trials for people who ask about the sport. It's easiest if you compare it to motorbike trials, many more people have heard of / seen that than bike trials.Great interview none the less, good luck!
