Video: Charlie Rolls Sends More Wild Trials Lines in 'Mind 3'
I prefer watching him pick apart a technical section rather than street riding, but whenever he rides it's flowing.
He's here on the Hope HB130

Pretty much drops on any bike and rides the same style, even a mini kids bike...often in crocs or wheelies. I won't say it's natural cos I see the work he puts in, but it's intuitive, rather like Clay Marzo in Surfing. His brain is seeing options fast.
I get the bike looks odd, but up close it's a work of art and they're pushing the boundaries trying to find anyway to gain an advantage. This 1065 short edition evolved from some riders chopping their carbon frames and having them shortened. To sign Charlie, Clean knew he wanted a 1065 bike, so they produced one. Super nice family that provide a space for kids to learn.

MBUK may have some images of the same bike soon, maybe next month.Steve Behr took some a few weeks ago. Grip tape gives a better feel and can be tailored to suit a riders preference.

[UPDATE] Adolf Silva Sustains Serious Spinal Injury Following Double Flip Crash at Rampage
So good to see Adolf in a better condition than we all expected, hope that the news continues to come back positive and that he makes a full recovery. However, we all feared the worse and it's so so good to see him smiling. My ten year old son woke up and asked, glad to be able to show him that he's "ok".

Video: Chris Akrigg Makes the Impossible Look Smooth in 'Up & Over'
Recall the first time I met him, his eye for a line is amazing. Came and rode my local area and saw things I'd never seen. Great video

Camille Balanche Announces her Retirement from World Cup Downhill Racing
Amazing athlete and full respect for listening to her need to step away. Whether it's riding, adventures elsewhere or a role in a team, I hope we get to see more of her journey.

Video: 'Rider Resilience' - The Power of Cycling & Making Every Day Count
Life has its pullbacks, focus on what matters right now and take care of yourself. Your wife may have changed what's important but that doesn't devalue any of those times you enjoyed and you have two boys, don't be afraid to show them you're hurt. Get out and live life with them by your side.
When life drags you down, you can be sure you'll rebound.
