Love this video since it features the same two bikes I own! still waiting to develop the skills on the trials bike as it's such a different animal!
after riding enduro bikes all these years, and seeing the things that can be done on trials bikes, the expectation is that you will be able to throw that light bike around like a bicycle...but it just isnt that easy.... The power delivery is soooo much different than my 300rr that I'm going to have to learn a new set of skills just to ride up my normal enduro trails...(lot more clutch work)
granted I've only had time to get out on the trials bike a handful of times, but the lack of seat alone is already improving my riding.
as usual, Great Video Barry!
