    The Evil Professor of Bike Trials | OLE KRISTENSEN - Ep#73

    We’re joined by Ole Kristensen, affectionately known by many as the “evil professor” of Bike Trials. Not because he’s actually evil - quite the opposite - but because he’s always thinking ahead, solving problems, and quietly working behind the scenes to move the sport forward.Ole is a true pillar of the Trials community. From shaping competitions and supporting riders to creating the gold standard for checkpoint and gate markers still used in events today, his influence on Bike Trials runs deeper than most people realise.In this episode, we talk about how decisions are really made, the unseen work that keeps the sport running, and the responsibility that comes with caring deeply about a small but passionate scene. It’s an honest, thoughtful conversation with someone who sees the bigger picture - and genuinely wants the best for Trials.
