Video: Why? Part 2 - Ryan Leech
I'm a big fan of Ryan Leech's riding. I enjoyed the personal insight of this documentary. You don't get that in bike vids. What impresses me most, in trials, is the skinny. I'd seen Ryan in a video riding a wooden handrail made of 2x4s - on edge. An inch and a half is pretty darn skinny! And in another video (don't recall which) he rides railroad tracks. Then, in The Collective, Ryan rides a haindrail of three inch pipe - broken by span of chain. I thought he'd hop it in some way but he rode it. A chain! There's another vid with chain riding in it where he turns and hops off of it. Ryan, you smashed thru the ceiling of what's possible. It's easy to believe you're under pressure. Fifteen years ago, trials was (not entirely) rear wheel hopping up and over picnic tables. That chain blew me away. Keep bangin.
