    i think stuff like this is what cory is referring to, this is rudi poschi from austria, or his bike anyway. i would consider this cheating, click on it, video

    I clicked on it and the video will not play. What's he doing?

    I had to click on it twice... first time there was an error. Second time it loaded but played a black screen, I hit play again and it played fine.

    Looks like a "spectator" is riding the bike...

    OK...I got it to play. Where is his riding gear? Is he pre-running that section?

    That is not his bike he is a "spectator"... That is the type of outside assistance Corry G was talking about.

    at the very end of the video, you see the rider, with a backpack on, turn around and looks like he is, oh my bike! here is casseli with his own approach. no one was pushing faster up a hill than kurt

    In the previous post it says there is an 'invalid file structure'...

    You have to click on it a few times to get it to work...

    It seemed to work better in IE than Firefox for me. That is a first. :lol:

    Wow! If I could get other people to ride my bike through some sections of the harescrambles that I attend, I'd probably do better. I wonder how much the Kearney brothers would charge me... :lol:

    That just seems wrong!

    I disagree with the assistance of spectators during an event.

    there were help zones, and no help zones. in the help zones you could use a rope or pull, or push. i was shocked when i seen spectators riding bikes up, that was bull! being a puller was one of the most dangerous things i have done in awhile, big rocks flying, and rolling everywhere. it was also pretty cool to help some of the guys out. when geoff aaron came to this hill, his feet never touched the ground, he just went side to side in the bigger rocks just like the trials rider he is, it was amazing to watch.

    That was last year, his first time, for Dougie. He placed 3rd this year.

    It's funny, but that's how I was instructed to ride a trials bike up a hill...text book! He is the man!

    Its says he is alright, cracked his head and just ran out of juice and fell off the bike totally exhausted at the very end of the race while in second ...

    I've never followed this racing but I gotta admit, these guys are studs and have great skills and no fear!
