See I always find this kind of attitude confusing... We're already in a minority sport, and now we're picking on one group of riders within that minority who do things a certain way. Using a bashguard was part of the evolution of bike trials.

Viewed from the 'outside' (i.e. by non trials riders) you'll probably find that most trials bikes look and sound retarded, and that a lot of the moves (BIU or UCI themed if that even makes sense) look and sound goofy as f'ck.

Of course it's easier to take a critical view on something you don't do than something you do...

My initial intention was to make a good video of that event, but it was very disappointing. It's just a video, no reason to be offended. I've been riding BIU comps for 8 years, so my critical view is on something i did.

Just because this is a minority sport doesn´t mean that i can´t have my opinion about it. I HATE biu kind of trials because i rode it for a long period of years, way back back in the 90´s and always hated the bash/pedal/every part of the bike grinding everywere, UCI trials is 200% more beautiful to watch and ride than biu, thats a fact. But that is my opinion only.

That's why you should have come to Antwerp last week and make a video there ;)

Next year on Friday evening we will organise a speed trial competition for the 'we don't want to compete at all but just have fun on our bikes and drink a beer after' kind of riders.

Then the next days you hang out to watch the UCI Pro's killing the sections... Last weekend of September, write it down.

That sounds like a plan EnterBike.com :)

We have been for the past 2 years and the Antwerp event only gets better! :)

We made a video last year and this year will be no different, just looking through the footage now ;)

can't wait for next year....
