World's Largest Trials Rider

Featured Replies

I'm 6'6" but nowhere near that big. I have a question because I am having problems with this, the bikes are all built for the average Joe (5'8" 180 lbs.) what mods have you done to get your bike comfortable? I can't even find a decent set of bars for my bike.

although i'm only 5.11 i felt the handlebars on my former gas gas and scorpa were a little low so i raised they by about an inch. If you find you stoop over the bars then try raising them like i did but don't over do it with spaces (raisers) or you'll end up with a set of bars which are like a high rise block and then liable to snap - be sensible thats all i'm saying.

I have found that some stiffer springs and a set of bar risers did all I needed, I am crappy rider. That being said I few bikes actually fit me. I just adapt to the bike.

My club has dubbed me the World's Largest Trials Rider. At 6'8" and 325 lbs (2 meters and 23.2 stone) I'm the biggest I ever met. Any other colossal riders out there?

Ric Smits, a ex-pro basketball player rides some vintage trials events. he's well over 7 feet tall.

Your right on the money Craig. Ric is HUGE!!! Here he is at broome tiaoga this year towering over his mx bike. (poor bike)

He rides Vintage Ahrma Trials on and off.

If he is not riding and there he is always a supporter.

If your making a trials for him grab a step ladder and cut down everything you can reach. hahaha
