Hans Rey - Trials Ambassador
Last Friday, a bunch of friends and I had an opportunity to ride trials
with most likely the biggest name in trials in the States, Hans Rey.
Where we rode, Hans set up some sections for us and then worked with us
through the section individually. Hans cleaned the section, but that goes
without saying.
Unfortunately, our trials sessions had to stop abruptly complements of two
cops who were looking for a fugitive or something but heard our brakes
instead!! Fortunately, Hans had promised us that he would like to do this
kind of thing again.
Hans is a great guy. Here is someone who is an icon in our sport and yet
doesn't mind helping out (for free!) riders who are still learning. This
sport needs more professional riders like himself. Like, how many sports
can one name where professionals do this kind of thing? It doesn't even
happen in downhillers, a mountain bike discipline...
Sincerely,
Daisuke Koya
