trial biking
Trial biking is a specialized form of cycling that focuses on navigating obstacles without touching the ground with the rider's feet. Riders use specially designed bikes that are lightweight and have strong frames to perform tricks and maneuvers over various terrains, such as rocks, logs, and steep inclines. The goal is to maintain balance and control while showcasing skills in precision and agility.
Competitions in trial biking often involve timed courses where riders must complete sections with increasing difficulty. Points are deducted for any foot touches or falls, making it a test of both skill and strategy. Popular among enthusiasts, trial biking has roots in mountain biking and has evolved into a distinct sport with its own community and events.
