[kruger]

The 2009 National Bike Trial Championship round 2 is held once again at Toa Payoh Town Park. The weather was good with occasional cloud cover and short bout of drizzle.

In the course.





Hop up.





Lighthearted moment.

Falls.






Observer handing the scorecard to the rider.




Determination and focus.



Giving oneself confidence.

yeh unlike bmx or downhill mtb trials is fairly understated... in terms of riding though i'm not sure why... its one of the most skilfull things out there... i guess to most people a guy flying 10 feet in the air is just a little more exciting then another guy getting two wheels over obstacles... haha

I don't understand why there are stick around those rocks that the cyclist is trying to perform at. Seems very hazardous to me. What if one of the biker lose his balance fell right onto the sticks and that will cut him or worse senario having the stick stab through him.

Bike trial is not so complicated. it is just a competition to clear a course without breaking any of the rules, such as legs touching the ground, keeping to the course.

The sticks are there to mark out a defined course to show where the participant is to ride through.

The spokes that mark the perimeter looks a bit too dangerous for me? I hope no one falls on them...
