Bas Van Steenbergen is one of the world's best bike-handlers.
Kelowna-based, Van Steenbergen is a Red Bull Rampage alumnus and an advocate of using slalom riding to sharpen his ability to change direction.
Now the world-renowned mountain bike rider has created a challenging downhill track by Silver Star Road full of his favourite twists and turns.
Dream Slalom is described as “a twisting, jumping, hipping and ripping run through dense Canadian forest.”
Half BMX dirt jumps, half MTB singletrack, the best slalom tracks can only be navigated with total bike control, emphasizing a rider's ability to turn equally with jumping ability.
"I like technical riding, the type of riding where you have to be perfect over everything," says Van Steenbergen. "Riding slalom, you have to land on all the backsides perfect to connect the next section. With Dream Slalom, I wanted a trail you couldn't just cruise through and land wherever. You have to be precise to even hit the next jump. That's what's entertaining to me when I ride."
In a Red Bull-sponsored YouTube video, Van Steenbergen shows how it is done in an amazing display of skill, speed and control.
