Here is a nice little video of Trialtech rider Rick Koekoek training in La Plagne. Only 2:28 long so you can have a sneaky watch when your boss walks out of the room. Rick is always one of our favourite riders to watch and an honorary member of the Toohey Forest Hall of Fame.

Rick has been hugely influential in developing at lot of the most popular Trialtech products including the Sport Hi-Riser Handlebar. Available now the Sport Hi-Riser offers the same high quality as the industry leading Sport Riser but with extra height to suit mod riders. ExpressiveBikes have these bars ready to ship for only $89, posted free Australia wide. Phone 0411 609 115 or email tim@expressivebikes.com to find out more.

I’ve liked the look of this Koxx Foxx for a while now. Even though the bike is aimed at junior riders (which I can’t claim to be) I meet to frame’s sub 70kg weight limit so I thought I would give it a go.

The bike has a shorter wheelbase and a much lower bottom bracket them the Koxx Sky models. I liked the idea of this slightly “older” geometry on a modern frame. Having ridden mod for the fast year I also felt more comfortable on the smaller bike. Maybe not the “dream setup” for most elite riders but I think it will make for a very fun ride.

Wheel Base 1078mm

Chainstay 380mm

Bottom Bracket Rise +23mm

Le from TNN Engineering just emailed me this picture of the latest addition to the ExpressiveBikes demo rig… nearly ready for action.

The ExpressiveBikes Bicycle Stunt Show brings all the excitement of trials riding to your next event. Featuring some of Australia’s top riders your audience will be amazed by what Lewis, Le, Borys and the team can do on a bicycle. For bookings phone 0411 609 115 or email tim@expressivebikes.com

On Sunday the ExpressiveBikes Demo Team headed to Pomona on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast for the King of the Mountain Festival. After three cool demos we grabbed a few short clips of Lewis and Borys mucking around on the concrete pipes and blocks the organisers had provided. Luckly we had the camera rolling when Borys took a very funny tumble off the bike. Make sure you watch to the end…

This video clip is from the Channel 10 show Totally Wild and features a segment about TNN Engineering and manufacturing trials brake pads. The TNN segment starts about 5 minutes in after the item on Segways.

This is the third story Totally Wild has done on trials so it is great to see the mainstream exposure they are giving the sport.

If you want to watch the segment on TV it will be screened at 8am tomorrow morning on Channel 10.

Why didn’t they have quality programming like this on TV when I was young?

You can buy TNN brake pads from ExpressiveBikes.com, email tim@expressivebikes.com or phone 0411 609 115 to find out more.
