I found this to be fascinating, albeit a little scary.

Trials bikes are cool! :2thumbs:
And the riders; are AMAZING! :bowdown:
I used to keep an old Honda TL 125 around for exercise... I'd ride the rocks in the stream behind the house with it.
When I felt cocky; there's a pine tree in the yard that I could "ride up" the trunk, and lock the brakes... :shocked:
About a third of the time (I wasn't very good at all! pps, I could spin the bike off of the trunk, and wheelie it away...

I love watching that type of video, which displays a skill, balance, endurance, and strength. He is most definitely very skilled. The back drop for all this is beautiful. I know where my next vacation will be.

Thanks for sharing.

Awesome..!!

those guys are really fearless. On a closed course they are really good but the ones that go to uncharted areas are amazing..thanks for the link..!! :2thumbs:

Bob, what year was your TL? When I came back from Viet Nam I had enough money for a new 1972 TL. I loved to ride it around the forest service roads in New Mexico. That thing was a lot of fun. The first three gears were close so you could climb a wall with it. A little slow on the highway though. If my memory is right :hun: I think 45 mph was top speed. And that was wide open, red line. I was a lot lighter then. If I got on one now it would probably stall :shocked:.

Amazing rider I just only dream to do that:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack: but other thing that's scary is the high price of this kind of bike.:banghead:

I gotta ask, how many spills, tumbles, broken bones, sprains, and strains did he have to go through before he found out that he could do that? AMAZING!!! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

Not a sport for the faint of heart. You have to applaud the skill level as well as the courage of the rider.

Now everyone knows why I like Utah as a travel destination. I am guessing that is where the video was shot.
