Sorry for the crappy editing/no music.
What do y'all think? I can do that line about 50% of the time. How do you think I'll stack up for beginners trials at NAUCC?

Not bad. My guess is you'd be on par w/ many other beginner trials riders.

I've never been to a NAUCC so I can't say how it compares, but I would think they would have had that board nailed/screwed down, and if it were, I bet your consistency would go way up.

Haha yea, I'm gonna build a better platform tonight. I just was in the middle of riding and filming so I didn't want to stop and build things.

Dude just train hard and ride hard, do your best on the day and have fun doing it. If you do well it's just a bonus, if you don't do well it just makes the journey to becoming better last longer. The longer the journey the greater the feeling when you get there.

Yep, that's the plan! I'm not going to win (although I'm gonna train and ride my ass off), just to have fun and meet some cool people. I was just curious about what to expect for the beginners course and if I'll be able to copmlete any of the lines.

+1

The trick is staying motivated when progress seems long and slow.
