I found this looking for motorcycle trials.

I can tell that the first two thirds of it is obviously trials. The last third looks like they hosed down a baseball diamond and were trying to complete a "home-run" for time. Well, that is an exaggeration, but they do seem to have their feet down at least a third of the time.

This is what I would imagine a "slow" race is like.

I thought Munro rode a twin? Why are there knobbies on it as well?

Is DILLIGAF still posting? This helmet is cheesy enough that he may like it.

Oh. I stand by my statement, its not a chopper.

My ears may be deceiving me, but I could swear that it is powered by a big twin. A light cycle, powered by a harley engine (more or less). I was hoping that it was electric or at least a big bang i4. Then again, it appears to be the most awkward bike ever made, so the twin fits in a way.

Please tell me if this design looks stupid or not.



The whole engine seems to need to nest higher up into the frame.

What about the engine meeting the frame halfway? I really like the form going over the handle bars. The woman is very pleasing in body shape, but seems incredibly out of place, leaning over the back. Seem like if that drawing were to suddenly come to life, the bike would immediately fall over.

EDIT: Watched the women's xgames video, then the men's. It reminded me of why I found long way round so frustrating, charlie and ewan couldn't go fast enough nor could they seem to keep their feet off the ground. I must say that I find enduro cross to be much more entertaining than something like supercross.

You know, the highlight videos seem oddly slow in spots, this video has the some of the footage at regular speed. No women though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83ZDmPEMKxM
