| Check out the New England Mt. Bike Championships at Mt. Snow Vermont.
This will be on July 29&30.
They will have the professional observed trials as well as people
like you and me doing stock bike trials. Last year they had Jim
Trigonis (at the time ranked #3 in the world) cleaning seemingly
impossible courses. This year they expect to have all the best
"riders".
One of the riders last year told me he practices balance recovery
by putting 2 inflated basketballs in the driveway. He then puts
the bike on top of them and sits on the bike.
I later saw this person doing a nose wheely down a 45 degree hill.
I plan to judge some of the stock bike trials so if you plan to
come stop by and say hi. Just look for the pink,white and blue
Klein Top Gun.

| Sorry I forgot. The championships will also have a 2.2 mile hill
climb, a downhill slalom and a circuit race.
