thanks for posting Martin, he seemed to really be charging at the section, had forgotten we used to do that, probably in second gear the whole section, the floater was sweet!

Floater? where was that!!!! was there water in the skip?

I don't know if anyone has thought of making trials non-stop again? But imagine the current crop on current bikes floating/flick turning/etc their way through indoor as well as outdoor stuff!

Thanks Martin.......how about the link to the recent French Vintage Trial.

Good stuff, and I'm prompted to ask does anybody else mourn the passing of body lean which never seems to be evident in modern trials in the way that it was used back in the day - as in proper hang off the bike stuff.

I found this gem on You Tube. Thanks to whoever posted it..I wonder if there is more.

Bernie was magic on the bike. Those of us that were fortunate to grow up riding with him knew that he was special. I just wish I could have been in Europe to see him ride during his championship year.

Here you go Kramit

Ventoux Classic trial


Ventoux- Todo Trial report




Floater USA = Pivot Turn UK

Bernie pioneered the technique so I will go with his name for it, the Floater.

Wow! Thanks for posting that, Martin!
I have to admit to giving a little gasp when Bernie popped on screen.
