20th Annual Keyesville Classic
March 15 & 16, 2008

You can tell this is a close knit group. A cross section of age, ability and successes. The course is less than 50 feet in length. It might have as much as 20 vertical feet. The bikes all look the same to me. But what do I know! I'm just glad to see the rider's are finally just leaving the saddle off the frame. Like these guys ever sit.

But what balance. I personally cannot balance, so to watch as the competitor balances atop a rock, planning his or her next hop, jump or wheelie. I'm positive the very best are stand-in's for Cirque Du Soleil acrobats. Every year the course is set in a different rock cluster. I recently read a bike review on this type of rig. The author talked about urban settings. Hum, maybe with a little practice I might pick up a whole new skill set.
