Not Wylie 2 this one, but a friend. This gives you a bit of an idea what trials bikes are about and the lovely landscape we had on Sunday for the competition. Note that these bikes don't even have a seat! Velocity is walking pace, if that.
Fav. Wonderful capture, scene and pov. I guess it is very difficult to balance the bike without having a seat to balance yourself in the first instance.
We had a friend who did this many years ago. He raced mostly on tracks though. I brought one of my sons to see him race and it was really exciting- and noisy! I like how you've framed this fellow through the trees and the bright colors suit the excitement of the race. Great shot!
@spanner It takes a certain personality I think! Not Toni Bou was it? @olivetreeann This type of riding is not done on tracks and is way slower. Just an excuse for a stable of different motorbikes! @zambianlass trail bikes and trials bikes are very different I've learnt! @ludwigsdiana he got much better as the day went on - been hard to practice under current conditions!
