The 2023 Junior World Champion Oliver Weightman joins the Shin Dig Podcast (Finally) to talk about his rise through bike trials and what it takes to compete at the highest level of cycling.Ollie shares how he went from riding in his garden to winning on the world stage, handling pressure at home World Championships, and why switching from 20” to 26” trials bikes completely changed his riding and results. We also dive into training mindset, progression, competition nerves, and how trials skills transfer into overall bike control across cycling disciplines.Whether you're into trials, MTB, street riding or just love elite-level bike skill, this episode gives a real insight into what it takes to push the limits on two wheels.

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.
