Looked like a highlighter or something.

I LOL'd when he went through the door with his front wheel sideways (ish) so he could fit his bars between the door frame. Brilliant.

Meh, I saw him dab at LEAST once in a really narrow doorway. He can't be THAT good...

OK, yeah he can. I love watching talented trials riders, bicycle or motorcycle -- there's just no way the laws of physics allow some of that stuff! [popcorn]

Thanks for finding that!

That's awesome. Mad skills. [thumbsup]

How did he not tear the crap out of the carpet on that tight spiral stairway that he got stuck on? Or leave black marks on the wall? ???

Do moto trials riders use tar on their brakes like mtn bike trials riders? That's what it sounded like to me...

Don't think so, I saw one of Lampkin's bikes at Sun Motorcycles the other day, teeny little rotors. Like 6" mtn bike rotors.

Love it.

How he managed to get up a spiral staircase, I'll never know.

I wish I had any kind of skills.

Trials is great to watch. Just wish you could find more of it on TV

Doesn't look like he damaged a thing!!! I'd scrpaed those handlebars on everything I rode near!!!

I really like the turn/stoppie. The exit wasn't apparent, and I wasn't expecting that (neither was the guv'ner drinking tea)

many years ago on my wedding day, (to first wife) we had our reception in the local bar.We all rode harleys back then and the ensuing party was pretty wild.Anyway, after many hours of merriment some bright spark came up with the idea of riding our bikes thru the bar, in thru the front doot, round the pool tables and out the back door.Christ-wtf were we thinking?So as drunk as we were we all grabbed our bikes and wives/bimbo's etc and off we went.Me in a tuxedo and missus in a white dress here I am on my bagger barely able to keep the damn thing upright........Cops were not amused, but we had a hell of a time!

You do some really stupid shit when you are 21............don't try this.
