rosey Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 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!

dabber Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 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!

02-apr Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 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.

martin belair Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Thanks Martin.......how about the link to the recent French Vintage Trial. 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.

Thanks for posting that, Martin! I have to admit to giving a little gasp when Bernie popped on screen. Like the ghost of a long gone hero.
