Motorcycle Trials Riding


The Motorbike Show on the weekend had a fine day.
Every year the trial riders come out to put on a good show for the public to watch.
I watched them last year and never get sick of the skills these riders have.

I think that most riders need the skills they have,
with clutch, brake and engine control.

The two young boys belong to a bike trials academy based in Nelson.

You don't see or hear much about trials events on television, but kids should be able to see more.
It's unreal to watch as points are deducted for putting feet down on climbs or jumps.
They also stand on foot pegs through the trials and never use the seat to sit on.

Also do competitions on rocky hillsides and rough torrain.

Nobody really know that we have some good champions doing trials in New Zealand.
Who are doing real well overseas.

No Road Rat not doing it, he needs his family jewels for little hamsters hehe.
Plus have a short wheel base on Rat.
Enjoy pictures.
