The Story Jeff Anderson and Steve Dickin have traveled the world competing in international competition and performing shows. Residents of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, they have grown up in a large mountain bike oriented scene. They started cross country racing in a school run organizations called SPOKE. After seeing trials professional Ryan Leech perform a demo, Steve and Jeff were hooked on trials. Luckily at the time Vancouver had a large bike trials competition scene which help them progress to a high level of riding. Steve and Jeff were invited to join The Trialsin Shop Demo Team in 2004 and have been performing shows ever since. In 2007 they created Trials Stars Bike Shows. Currently they are focused on winning international competitions and promoting the sport of bike trials. |

Bike Trials
The action of bike trials is to ride with complete control over the bike. This means that the rider's goal is to have the ability to use the bicycle to travel any path from point A to point B. The choice of path determines the difficulty. The rider uses balance, power and endurance along with various techniques to traverse the chosen path. The sport of bike trials consists of six, eight or ten paths called "sections" mapped out by the competition organizer. The riders must ride through the designed section (or path) without putting one or both feet down from the bicycle pedals. Thus you must stay on the bike while riding from point A to B. Penalty points will be obtained if these rules are broken. The rider does not get to practice riding the sections before the competition and only has two chances to ride each course. The penalty points are added up over all the paths ridden and the rider with the lowest score wins.

Jeff Anderson
Despite Jeff's inherent motivational drive, the best word to describe him would be…passive. Jeff is a quiet, calm and sedate. I don't think anyone has seen him lose his temper, which begs the question: does Jeff even have a temper to lose? These characteristics make Jeff and easily approachable guy, that everyone (except his competitors) is happy to see. Aside from trials riding, Jeff is attending Simon Fraser University taking engineering physics. He plans to finish his degree in the up coming year. Rider Stats: Name: Jeff Anderson Year of birth: 1987 Height: 1.80m Weight: 82kg Favourite food: Pasta drink: Milk Other interests/sports: Sleeping, Snowboarding, hockey, slack lining and of course, eating!
