if you were running a unicycle trials comp, would you really want guys
there on bikes?



As long as the front wheel never touched I wouldn't see any problem
with that.

I had the opertunity to ride on the Bike Trials course at the MTB world
champs this year, but unlike most other trials comps we had to wait
until the competition was complete and the course (made of several very
difficult sections) was very tricky to ride (unless you can static hop
well over a meter from mud).
Very cool tho.

It's really up to the organizers. Although if I were organizing a bike
trials comp I wouldn't let a unicycle compete, because its' a different
sport. The manuverability of a bicycle is just different than a
unicycle. It's a different sport




But then some of the bike rider's might disagree. And what would happen
if the guy on the unicycle won, all the bike riders would be ****ed
then.

I think i remember that for the 26" bikes, touching the ground with
anything else than the tyre is penalized.
In trial with 20" wheels, they can touch obstacles with the protection
of their chainwheel to.


not realy true
