The boys go back to Highland Mountain for a Game of B.I.K.E this time with the most jibby 27.5” rigs we could build! Featuring Nicholi Rogatkin, Ethan Nell, DJ Brandt and Reed Boggs— DJ brandt
"I lost this two years ago in manuals and nose manuals. I've had two years to learn those tricks and I didn't. I've just been doing twisters that whole time."
I am kind of surprised at the lack of bike handling skills that Rogatkin has, though. I guess that's because he spends most of his time on jumps and airbags and such instead of riding trail.
@lehott: I remember people talking about that in some trail ride video he did at Finale Ligure as well. Don't get me wrong, he rides smoother than me by far, but trail riding clearly isn't his strength.
Some interview I remember was saying something similar about trials riders. That because of the emphasis of power and stiffness on the nine required for trials, they aren't particularly fluid trail riders. Fabio Wibmer is pretty danged smooth though.
This was highly entertaining! Love that rogatkin got knocked out by a relatively simple trick. Nose manuals and crankflips are his Achilles....who’d a thunk it!
