Newport Cyclebration Demo

Hello all,

There is a trials demo happening in Newport, Kentucky this Sunday (August 6). At the corner of 6th street. The demo will start at 10 but you will have to get there about 8 because I beleive the roads in the city will close at 9 or so.

Any help is greatly appreciated since at the moment it is only another rider and I who are riding in the demo.

Here is the website on the event:

Yeah, I will be there about 6 AM to start setup for the demo and the race. If you can help out in any way, let me know. Thanks all!

I will be out of town this weekend, so I can't help out.

Squirrel and I did the demo last year. It is not a huge undertaking because you are just providing a few minutes of entertainment between races or during a break in the race or something like that.

Remember that non-trials cyclists are easily impressed. I think that last year we only had a picnic table, spool, and sidehop bar. just doing a few sidehops, gaps and ups will keep the people happy. The moves do not even have to be big to impress people. If you have them chear for you as you attempt to sidehop it gets everybody fired up.

Have fun!

The demo was the sixth, so it already happened. It turned out pretty good too, I think we need to work on building up to bigger stuff though instead of trying to pull huge moves throughout the entire demo.
