With a knobby tire also ... This riding drives home the point its the rider, not the bike doing most of the work ... I'd say impressive and drop the color coding
Yea Kelly that guy has done alot of Trials time. Most great riders have. Roger Decoster was a trials star long before he ever threw a leg over an MX bike. The list goes on and on. dale
Blasusiak uses a cut Michelin FIM comp (the knobs are sliced across the middle) last time we looked. Both him and big Dave have taught me alot about getting through ugly terrain with their calm style combined with leg/bike pop and slip clutch work leverage techniques. Taddy is in super great condition for all the anaerobic work(this stuff) plus the aerobic riding that he needs to do to win these events. I love watching these extremo guys work the machines through this stuff!! good post.
I'm impressed that he was tall enough to have his feet touch the ground while performing these maneuvers.
Watch how he is standing on one peg and has the other foot on a rock with air between his butt and the seat ... He gets totally off the bike a couple places ... I'm not in climbs like that but from time to time here, I get in lots of rocks ... I'm forced to get better as have got to quit trashing my bike in such terrain and U gotta use what is around U to keep the bike upright .. Watch the first of the video (15 sec mark) where he first starts barreling up the hill ... he makes a sharp 'S' turn at speed and then does a very VERT climb ... That is not easy ...
