Rich Pearson Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 know whos lindor karas is he as good as hans rey?Hans was the first ever biketrials world champion and in the begininng was up there with Ot Pi. He also came up with a lot of the moves and techniques that we take as common practice today (I'm pretty sure he was the first person to use a front tap in comps, and think how many people use those today...). Hes also had more TV appearences and videos than Jenna Jameson, and is probably the most easily recogniseable face in biketrials, and in fact in mountain-biking in general.Libor Karas was also a world champion in his hayday, and was the designer of possibly the most used trials tyre on the market, the IRC El Gato. Both amazing riders, and worth checking out if you can find any related media.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
