I am still riding a 1992 GT Zaskar frame with the adjustable trail fork. These bikes are awsome. The only other bike I wanted more as a kid was the Xizang.

I was fortunate enough to see Hans Rey do several demonstrations at The Edmonton Sportsman Show, back around the same time as this vid was made. The local GT dealers sponsored him to come. I wonder if this had any influence on my next bike being a GT?? (which BTW, I STILL HAVE

Hans was huge back then. Another old school trials legend is Ot Pi, some of his vids are also on youtube.

AWESOME! I sent Matt a PM with these video links the other week. Great to see this classic posted up, this was THE film that got me into biking and at the time "trials riding" which as we know progressed into what we have today with modern riding.

I watched this movie a hundred times growing up, the waterfall section is my favorite. I wanted a GT so badly. Thanks Hans!

Such a timeless move at 1 min 52ish secs. There was another early vid with him in which I can't remember the name of, but at one point he's in his house, and he gets on his bike and drops into a steep trail which headed straight down onto the beach, which I thought was totally rad when I was a kid.
