I recently went to the Bentonville Bike Festival and decided to enter the Trials competition. This event was a UCI Elite Competition as well as the North American Trials Competition. I decided to enter the competition on my Reeb SST full suspension bike reebcycles.com/collections/sst
Come along for the ride and see how the event went!!

Thanks for the shoutout, Champ! 🏆 So stoked to see you at a Trials comp again!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Always fun seeing you.

[@tjchad1]

Super Rider is one of my favorite channels! Cool to see a couple of my favorite You Tubers meeting up.

[@millsshumps1968]

Its a shame there are not many 27.5" hardtail that can transition to trials without going down the specialist 26" What UK Chris Akrigg is doing on 29" ebike is pretty insane given how much heavier they are but Chris rides it just as flowy as smaller 26" old skool. Its a shame Ryan Leech doesn't make that transition with 27.5". Although he's retired over 10yrs ago from the demo stuff, he is still capable of riding technically and would love to see him do the odd video just to see if he still has it.

[@RobbiePfunder]

As a long time Lenosky fan, this one was really fun to watch. I could feel your excitement in being a part of the comp trials scene again and the pride in proving to yourself you still could hold your own through sections. All around great vibe and edit👏👏

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thank you dude!!

[@yuri_on_youtube]

I'm so glad you made this video. I haven't done a trials comp about the same length of time as you but I've always wanted to compete at this one in Bentonville for a few years on my 26'er GT just like old times. Brought back memories of watching you on Evolve jump "that $9000 gorilla!"

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

thanks for checking it out!

[@curtisarmstrong4990]

Just bought a my first trials bike since 2005. looked you up as my childhood hero and so awesome to see your still out here killing it. mad respect.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

thats awesome! What did you get?

[@bchearne]

Those kids at the demo were hilarious! You had them screaming like an early Beatles show 😂

[@Spitfire194]

Jeff you are awesome and what you do for kids with the organization is just amazing! Getting kids to love biking lasts for life!

[@thejenster7890]

OMG what a fun video, to watch you ride the comp course. Trial Boss!!

[@sapinva]

Love that they are doing regular trials comps. Now if that would just spread to very state in the US.

[@alimantado373]

Super Rider brought me here! The Scwinn is sweet! Greets fom the UK

[@jddallager1699]

Jeff: Wow! The Trail Boss is still the Trials Boss! Even more impressive is your work getting kids on bikes! Many thanks!

[@bradlepaddle9512]

This is so awesome to See you throw down again reminds me of Toyota days.

[@dimensionsofearth]

Man that was fun to see! I would love to a try a comp like that, you absolutely nailed it

[@EpicEvolution]

Hey Jeff! First time I've saw your footage was back in the days in late 90s or early 00s. It was like first big wave of trials and whole mtb in Russia and somehow we got some VHS like New World Disorder and something like this. So now i ride downcountry and very happy to see that you have this channel and still riding and doing all that crazy stuff! Cheers!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

thank you!

[@Dillonpickle]

Still got the skills Jeff 👌 been following you for 20 years from Australia 👋

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thank you so much

[@petedog9581]

Still got it Boss. Congrats!

[@Randy_Johnson]

Jeff, you have taught me more about mountain biking and trials riding than I ever thought possible! I can’t thank you enough for all your “how to” videos. I use those techniques every time I ride the trails. The techniques have allowed me to become an advanced to expert rider.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

AWESOME!!!

[@kathyherde8355]

Really enjoyed this video 😁. Fun to watch you compete again and I liked the breakdown of your performance. Nice job!!!

[@StreetComp]

Never seen this sort of competition, truly amazing body/bike control! Congrats on the win

[@Oslegend71]

Loved the video. Nice to bump into Jack Carthy.He comes from a place called Otley,about 20 mins away from where I live in England.Loved it.Congratulation on first place.Stilll life in the dog as they say. 🤙👍

[@themostlymikeshow2582]

Incredible riding Jeff! I had no doubts that you'd have a stellar performance. Congratulations!

[@Yoda-em5mt]

Your the boss Jeff well done on your win .

[@stevepadilla9729]

Very Cool, always watch you when you were competing. Great to see.

[@minusED]

I know you! i mean… I was a teenager wanting to learn stuff because I’ve watched videos like “Unchained”. Wow! Thank you, legend

[@antbass2334]

Jeff,good to see you in trials competition.Have you ever considered make some how to trials video in your way? Should be nice to learn something from one of the best street rider in the world. All the best.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

I could def do that

[@djberg3483]

Hell yeah man! Though I’d bet all the vets were having an oh shit moment when they saw your name as a competitor.

[@davidlewis1886]

Jeff: Great story, fun history, great riding, and thanks for the pointer to super rider!

[@rafaelricardo1833]

Jeff incrible!!!, very nice man congretulations 🎉, trial boss as forever!!!😂

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thank YOU for watching

[@ianfarrar9405]

Great to see you back in between the tape! Even if you did have a seat on your bike 😂

[@Randy_Johnson]

Amazing, Jeff!! Way to go. Give us old guys some hope.😂

[@4trialsin]

A lot has changed since the old EFTA series!!!

[@toddjohnson779]

Sooo sick control

[@brucebenoit6995]

Awsome job you didn't miss a beat!

[@andreturnerjr8950]

Awesome job Jeff!

[@djSpinege]

Last comp I rode was in 2002. Really loved this video!

[@johnnykramolis7469]

Congrats!

[@RealMTBAddict]

Hell yeah congrats bro! 🥇🥇🥇

[@rascal1234]

Really cool. I wish I could do trials.

[@thechamp8971]

Absolutely bossed it. Incredible bike control.

[@tonkshred]

Hes keepin it real! Awesome watch

[@richchin5163]

Cool vid and congrats! This reminded me of your old Trail Boss vids when you narrate a trail that you conquer. Those trials bikes look more like pogo sticks than bikes!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Should I bring back the talking?

[@richchin5163]

@@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss I liked it. Not sure about others. Variety is always good so maybe mix it up?

[@JasonFoxLCB]

Wow. Congrats, Jeff. Not surprising, but no less impressive.

[@petesturtevant7642]

Last time I saw you do a comp was at Mammoth in 2001. You won the speed trials then. It's great to see you Keeping it Real and making it look easy.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thanks!

[@jeffhayes1855]

Congratulations on the well earned win! Thanks for sharing. It was heartening to see that the while the course was difficult, it wasn’t death defying. I’ll bet this video will inspire more people to make it down there next year to participate.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

It’s a great time. I wish more people would give it a shot

[@jeffhayes1855]

Watching this again ….. again. Imagining how I’d get through those sections with my beginner skills and 20” wheels. Definitely there will be more people participating this year - this video contributing to that. It’ll be interesting to see how big the field is. I just love this video and Jeff’s narration. So impressive that he was the only clean.

[@maxpainxl125]

you are still the best

[@painterabc123]

Nice work. Like a pro!

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thank you

i used to watch you + ryan leach in the early 2000's and martyn ashton + martin hawes .

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Thank you 🙌🏻

[@BrianCooper901]

Still Keepin' it Real!

[@gfowkes]

Did you do a trials event in Northern Michigan YEARS ago?

[@JasonNosajasoNosaj]

1:30 best bike

[@AdventureAwaits4u]

Great job! Is there any advantage to locking your suspension out when doing something like this?

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Definitely. Trails bikes are usually rigid so they can hop easier etc. proper suspension keeps you grounded which is the opposite of what you’re trying to do!

[@8664antonio]

sweet.

[@Legacy40k]

Do you lockout the suspension for this stuff on a trail bike?

[@piercewasmund2042]

Cool

[@AlexSalikan]

Bro, I checked for you at Trialsworx 2012 :p

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Sick! You’re RIGHT!! I completely forgot about that!!!

[@joelnace1793]

Any thoughts about trying a full on modern trials bike?

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Nooooo. I wasn’t interested way back when the changes were subtle. It’s rad to watch but I don’t really wanna try it

[@peterkina1523]

This is a great video! I remember watching you many years ago with my boys at Racoon Rally in Allegany NY.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Those were good times.

[@mtbalpinecounty]

💪🍺

[@ThatpoolballGuy]

No one is gonna believe me on this one, but my step dad is travis Greenle and he helped the trials course

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

That’s awesome! Tell him thank you

[@AppleJack76]

Was that Rob Warner 11:05 in the back ground? I even heard his voice through your camera. He is one loud MFer.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]

Yes!!

[@ontherocks2u]

It would be fun to do a VET veteran class... Id be the only one...LOL Randy Vancil Here

Hi Jeff. Nice to see 90's Era sections coming back. Kinda beginner line for you tho. I have an older Surron I trials now and an Ultra for daily ripping. Still ride everyday at Rampart Range, CO where I work at in retirement. Keep it real ! Trialscoach here!

[@stevearrowood7430]

Randy who?

[@Peter-cx4ir]

I can do all this stuff already. Teach something harder please.

[@JeffLenoskyTrailBoss]
