The guy laying on the ground is an instructor with the Pridmore Star School. The guy on the bike was a fellow student who just happened to be one of the top trial bike riders. During lunch he brought his bike out and played around a little. The instructor was not very excited about being in that position but he survived. Trial bikes are pretty neat to watch in motion.

Loaned out for a duration of time to be determined by rightful owner. Usually for basis of determining wither to buy or not.
Now admittedly I can’t tell how long the bike has been off the ground or how fast it’s going, but to me it seems like he’s going to land straight on the poor prone fucker.

Thats Geoff Aaron, hes a multi-time US national champion trials rider. Also an ex world round rider too. He has some awesome videos out there, the series of them are called Balancing Act. Nobody will let me jump over them on my trials bike eather:(
If you’ve never seen a round of Observed Trials, I highly recommend it. I had the pleasure of seeing a world round in 2006. It was interesting to see the progression of local to US to World competitors. The local guys were doing things that I could have sworn were impossible. The World Trials riders can fucking fly.
