Another year...another bike show. Jim and I attended the Saturday edition. I noticed that there were fewer manufacturers and more bike shops in attendance. We got to see some of the new stuff up close. We were supposed to hook up with Mr.Chris and Ratboy, we didn't manage to see them, you can easily get lost in that place and never find who you're looking for. We saw a little of the dirt jumping contest, the bmx street and flatland contests. The Norco trials team put on an amazing show...as usual. We chatted with Ryan Leech (the greatest trials guy in the world) and Kris Holm (the greatest unicyclist in the world) for a while after the show. Jim and I bought some bike stuff. We took a load of pictures. We'll be posting them soon...

Hey,
I didn't really see much of interest this year at all. Just a bunch of bike shops trying to clear out the 2001/2002 bikes and equipment. The DJ and Trials were a nice touch as usual, but the list of manufacturers sure did a decline!
hey carla, we tried to find you but the place was packed solid, plus rocky mountain never showed. i wonder what happened to them. the bmx was stuff was cool and it seems to get bigger every year though the number of manufacturers was down for mountain bikes. balfa did show which was great. watched the unicycle 4 cross on the dirt track which was a hoot. oh and bought a park tp#2 tool for those special moments.

Sounds like a blast! Wish they had something like that down here. Or maybe they do but I've never heard about it. Hmm.
Your post reminds me that the same day I started trials (or about then) a buddy who I ride XC with frequently, bought a unicycle. I'm gathering more trials friends as well so soon we'll have an urban assault group that consists of about 5 trials riders, a unicyclist and a couple skateboarders.

Rocky Mountain was at the Seattle Bike Expo this weekend. Maybe they couldn't afford to do both.

Talk about being packed! We tried to find you to, its like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I wonder what happened to RM. We had a quick chat with the Balfa guy, that french accent made him sound so sauve... Jim and I picked up some clothing and a new xc helmet for myself.

When I lived in Toronto, Mr.Chris, Ratboy and myself used to join a rather large group of urban/trials/bmx/unicyclist/freeriders. Everybody would show up for the rides that used to consist of about 20 guys and gals and we would rampage through the downtown area hitting different spots until we got kicked out by security or the cops. I have a lot of pictures of those rides that I am still trying to find time to put online...
