I arranged to ride with one of my customers one day and he bought a friend of his along. Boy was that friend fit and the handling skills he had were phenominal. We did a technical offroad single track and it was tricky. My customer was a mediocre rider but at that time I could handle a bike- Except for this set of stairs---Lumps of chalk- Fallen tree trunks and Natural drops in the terrain. This "Friend" not only managed it- He had enough time to do a trackstand on a 4" root and watch me come up. He passed on a few tips and put me on a 3 year journey of learning to trackstand competemtly.

That "Friend" was The Haro Bike Trials rider.
