Nah not really. But no one ever seems to see pictures from the biu rounds so i thought i'd post this.

So in two minuets you have to up the 6.5 foot rock from the super bumpy run up. then sidehop up the 5 foot wall. then do another huge sidehop. as well as everything in between. and this has to be done in two minutes...wee

Looks pretty easy, especially if i get a 1090mm bike.


:hsugh:

[rush]

Thats naaasty. But as long as you can use bashie and pedal to hoist yourself up those walls it'd be easy!

[Elan]

no problem with my hang glider

[Orkje]

Easy? EASY? Erm, no. Looks awesome, really.

[WhiteRavenKS]

my collosal wheelbase uci biek will span the entire section and thanks to biu rule, it will be legal! harrrr harr harrrr!

seriously though- someone get that section a doctor... cus its sick.

[digby]

I like the 25 foot drop if you miss on that top sidehop. That section is just ridiculous. I think the biu sections definitly take it bashguard or not for sheer crazyness. that 1st sidehop looks like its head high at least.

[AndyT]

my favorite BIU rounds were the ones in spain on those crazy fucking rocks.

[mikeschiavone]

whos the north american biu delegate.

[[BMF] Chris]

i wanna say robin coope........ any canadians wanna confirm this?

[trials-online]

that section looks sweet as hell , id like to see some footage from that comp

[DangerousDave]

i wish ppl would put out video of the biu round in spain. like you have no idea how fuckni crazy those sections were. BIU i think definitely rules for 20" riding, I'd show youa picture of a 26" section but it would be some garbage with tape around it compared to those lausanne sections...

Canadian biu delegate is robin, for the states i'm not sure. it may again be robin..

[Elan]

who says you have to go up it? i see no proff suggesting that the section requires you to go up anythign. but still, that is some crazy shit i wouldnt even touch with a bike.

BIU Delegate USA- Stephen Morgan San Leandro, CA snd2125@attbi.com

When we asked Canada to attend the US BIU round in '97 Richard Belser was delegate but didn't have the time, so we hunted down his recommendation, Robin Coope, got him approved and he has been Canadian Delegate ever since as far as I know.

[trialscoach]

And yeah, that section goes up and is not that crazy compared to spainish and japanese BIU sections I've seen. And there was the "death section" in Tahoe...anyone remember the culvert section?

[[BMF] Chris]

he said north american, i was close enough, canada is in NA

[Eder]

I know Elan was joking about the setion not going up but here is a cool pic anyway...

[Elan]

yea it is..... :hsugh:

[Justin.L]

Hahahahaha Shang Tsung. Crazy dude from Mortal Kombat right?

[AndyT]

Crazy? NO, but OUTSTANDING.

My sub zero could crush him in mk2.

[Bloodhound]

would I be wrong in observing that BIU sections leave more choice to the rider as to which route is best?
UCI seems to have a set path were biu sections are wider and gives the riders more freedom... am I wrong?
