That Toyota bodied one came out great - nice color choice, looks good over the 'Pede chassis!

Another bunch of impressive riders are the trials guys. I have no idea how they do what they do. They make the bikes look weightless.

Thanks man! I did that FJ body for my TMaxx over 15 years ago but never ran it with that chassis very often so it stayed pretty pristine. Was excited to adapt it to the Stampede with nothing more than extended rear posts and a couple of new holes reamed for the front posts. Now it's getting bashed-up pretty good... but at least I'm keeping wear and tear off of the F100 Bigfoot body lol.

Trials riding is similar to comp crawling....... every move must be thought out and precise. I’ve always loved trials!....... Taco Power !

That's absolutely ludicrous!

I blame Jalopy for saying it's the world's largest. I just repeated it.

I don't think they implied they were generally THE largest just the largest ever made by 3d printed titanium which I'm sure somebody will out do eventually.

Ever wonder what the spare tire in a $200,000 Bentley looks like? Kind of disappointing isn't it?

Shot of Vette added to make sure my post is cool.

Our comp spot is run by the Canadian Trials Association, they lets us comp and play there..some of them have even let us take a spin.
It's amazing to watch what they do.

Our Mechanics Foreman is an avid Harley rider/builder. He's got 8 Harley's, 7 that he built, 1 factory cop bike. Loves his bikes, enjoys the ride, but a couple years ago he bought a trials bike. Says it gives him a relaxation that the cruisers and choppers don't. Has something to do with tackling the challenge of climbing over rocks.

Totally!! Same as my RCs love to go fast, but creeping on rocks requires me to think !

He didn't go very far. I want to see them shoot him over the English Channel or Grand Canyon or something.
