2 Wheel Technique

Awesome ride tonight everybody!  I didn’t get photos of everybody but was impressed with the level of riding.  It was competition night – so we laid out some competition sections for everyone to try.  The competition sections were popular!  Matt was a natural on the natural sections on the breakwall.   We need to go to a competition soon.  Sal joined us for the first time and he warmed right up to riding the trials bikes and even diving into the comp sections.  Bill, Terri, and Dan were pushing their limits.  There was some carnage too!  Terri drew blood at the breakwall, and the videos of Bill’s crashes were hard to watch.  Charlie is looking stronger every week.  Mark was riding smooth and in control.  Scott is getting a new mod bike this week and I can’t wait to see what he starts to do with it.  Alan needs a trials bike real soon!

Wow, we had a huge turnout tonight – by far the biggest ever.  A few new riders joined the regulars for a great night.  Gary and Kathy came all the way from Chicago to work on their wheelies and rolling drops.  Dalton came back up with Scott and ripped it on the breakwall.  Ryan and Mike were down from Petoskey to stop traffic with their moves.  Terri was testing out Scott’s mod bike and looking good on it.  Bill was getting wheelies and rolling drops dialed in to take back to Montana.  Jim was rolling his 29er over everything.  Scott is improving way too fast, and Dan is as well.  Clay is looking solid on his new mod bike.  Don has really progressed on the rocks.  Max showed Charlie some moves, and Charlie showed Max some moves too!  Matt, Mark, and I just rode 🙂  We found a new spot too.  It was great fun!

Don’t try this at home!

The Cherry Fest addition of the 2WT ride rocked tonight – in more ways than one!  5 year old Charlie was killing it with his flawless rolling drop form.  He got his uncle Mike to try some moves too.   Roger had perfect focus and looked incredibly smooth at everything he tried.  Dan had a breakthrough night and got his front-to-back pivot moves dialed.  Alan, always comfortable on the rear wheel started to string pedal kicks together.  Matt honed his touch hops.  Ryan and Mike made the trip down from Petoskey and definitely upped the level of riding.  Ryan was going off with some huge gaps and other smooth stuff.  Mike was pulling some precision rear wheel moves.  Mark looked smooth as always.

We closed out the night at Mark and Terri’s pretzel stand outside of the Billy Squire concert.  The young guns got in the venue and were last seen rocking out in the front row 🙂  Too much fun!
