Crap off-road rider

Is it just me that thinks he stuffed up the world's easiest trials section? (and in the dry too)

The fact that there are 'catchers' at the top of the climb would suggest a few people had found it tricky.

I'm guessing the lack of run-up is the real difficulty. He's still crap though :-)

But that's no trials bike he's on... possibly a trail bike but not trials, besides, you have too much time on your hands the way you keep finding youtube vids ;) :)

Mmm - looks easy - but the climber in me looks and thinks - easy angle slab - a walk up maybe, definitly not a climb, however near the bottom of the slab is a ridge - that seems to start the front wheel rising and then just below the catcher on the left as we look there is what looks like a steep flip - like a kicker on a skate ramp.  He needs to have got his weight over the front here to stop the bike kicking over. - However too much weight over the front and his teeth would be full of bars...? 

Crap rider - it is all relative - I would have probably done the same and as we all know I aint crap.... lol

Yup time he could be looking at all the work here for him.  Maybe he has met my wife and is scared to come?

Having done trials on trail bikes, I know that sections look very different when you are sitting at the start, than from a distance watching with a cup of tea in one hand and a sarnie in the other.

Looks  like an early 535 Husaberg he's riding with a slightly over enthusiastic right hand ,had a go on a mates and spent a lot of time with the front wheel in the air as well but didn't fall off (more luck than Judgment) I wouldn't want to ride it all day ,too much of a liability!
