He Spent 15 Years Thinking Street Trials Was Pointless. Then He Tried It | JOACIM LUNGREN - Ep#80

Joacim Lundgren spent 15 years as one of the best competition trials riders in the world. He also spent most of that time thinking street trials was a pointless mix of disciplines that didn't belong anywhere. Then COVID hit, he got an Inspired Hex, and everything changed.In this episode Joacim returns to The Shin Dig to talk about the Trial Unite jam in Strasbourg, his transition from the comp scene to street riding, and why the numbers he's putting down on the Hex — 330cm gap, 162cm side hop, hooks close to two meters — prove that switching bikes wasn't a compromise.We get into his memorable appearance at the Glasgow World Championships on an Inspired, the new video part he's filming with trips to Copenhagen planned, balancing riding with two kids and a full-time job in Sweden, and whether he'd ever get back on a competition bike.Follow Joacim on Instagram: @lundgrenjoacim
