Thank you, kind sir. I desperately needed a break from the chatter and reality of this past weekend.

I would love to see more freeriding from these guys, they are so incredibly talented and what they can pull off is just jaw dropping.

Not only could I not do that- I don't think I could even think it up.

Toni Bou is the most skilled motorcyclist I have ever witnessed. At a trials event he makes everyone else look like total amateurs. Imagine if there was an MXer with 12 Supercross and 12 Motocross titles all in a row...that's what Toni has between indoor and outdoor trials. He's on another planet.

The Trials World Championship is likely to have a U.S. round in 2019. If you haven't been to one, go. If you've never heard of trials, go. Your mind will be blown.

The Scottsman I hung with and chatted all weekend was talking about this guy. He was right that guy is gnarly.

Thanks for posting that video Scott. I can never get enough of that stuff. Toni is incredible , i got to see him ride at a World Trials event here in New England in 2015, Its mind blowing what he can do on a motorcycle. i saw a video online of him riding a motocross bike,He goes pretty fast on a MX bike too.

Here is a shot of him from 2015

Those guy's are definitely extremely talented and very fun to watch. Some of the stuff they is completely mind blowing. I honestly wish I would have dove into it years ago , just for the training / fun aspect of it. Those guys definitely have my respect.

I wonder if he would be competitive at an event like Erzbergrodeo?

X3 even on a enduro bike I'd think he'd be very competitive. On a trials bike he'd make a mockery of Carl's Diner.

I want to preface this by saying those trials guys do some of the most amazing things on two wheels that I've ever seen! ...But I also wish they could do something to make those helmets they wear look a little less goofy.

Thanks for posting Scottie. I've been in Trials my whole life. I know the sport inside out but there are moments watching Toni where I have to laugh to myself and say WTF did he just do? He needs to come to America. Demo at A1 ?? What do you think ?? He's a heck of nice guy too.

BTW : He's fast

I think former GP rider Gordon Crockard was good on it.

I'm sure he could be with some seat time. Most of the top guys at an extreme enduro event have a trials background. That doesn't mean they were able to jump on a dirt bike and be competitive however. They still had to adjust and work on speed and such.

Check out Graham Jarvis if you haven't before. That guy can do a lot of that same stuff except on a dirt bike. I've seen Graham do some absolutely incredible things.

A stock bike will be about 165 pounds. I am sure Montesa shaved a few pounds off of Toni's bikes but he tosses it around like it's 5 pounds.

Do these bikes have like major low end torque to get over those obstacles from a dead stop? and what size are they?
