:crazy2:......so I am in shock. I just watched this vid from 1991 featuring Ot Pi. The moves he is doing are so crazy for the time period. I am a true beleaver of the saying " the bike doesn't make the rider".

Agreed. Subtlety wasn't one of that era's strong points. :D

The last trials mod bike I rode felt so weird that I could not image enjoying the ride. No seats and really...really weird geometry. What's funny is that Hans Ray used to do all his trials stuff on a GT Mod or a regular 26" GT Zaskar mountain bike. He did a lot of amazing stuff on the Zaskar and the bike wasn't all weird.

Trials is nothing new. I started doing it in the mid 80's along with all the hopping BMX freestyle moves back then. Front wheel hops are still one of my favorite moves.

He's the godfather of trials riding :D He's won numerous world championships and it's rumoured that his dad invented the sport (I suppose that's like saying Gary Fisher invented mountain biking though).
