Pro Trials Rider Versus 40 Years of Ibis Bikes

- In the early 1980s, a hippie from Northern California started building pretty blue and purple steel mountain bikes and young trials rider named Andy Grayson helped make them famous. After winning two consecutive National Observed Trials Championships, Grayson was asked to appear on both the Johnny Carson show and David Letterman show. The latter appearance may or may not have cost him a summer job at a bike shop.
During the appearances, producers asked Grayson to wear a plain T-shirt, but he insisted on wearing his race jersey. The video segment was broadcast to millions of homes across the world and helped launch the brand into the national spotlight.
To celebrate our 40th anniversary, we’ve partnered with POC to create a retro inspired version of Andy’s iconic jersey and socks. POC is a Swedish apparel and protection brand that has been a key sponsor of the Ibis Cycles Enduro World Series team for seven years.
“When we decided to develop performance apparel that paid homage to our racing and brand heritage, POC was our first call” said Tom Morgan, Ibis President. “Our customers have been asking to purchase the team issue POC jerseys for years and we’re happy to make them available for the first time ever.”
Oscar Huss, head of product at POC, added “Ibis have unquestionably led the way in mountain biking. To compare the bikes from forty years ago with what we now ride is incredible. Despite the change in bikes and the industry, Ibis’ focus on innovation and pioneering new ideas has remained constant. It has underpinned our partnership over the years and makes the launch of the anniversary kit even more meaningful and enjoyable.”
Naturally, we asked 11x Nationals MotoTrials Champion Pat Smage to reprise the role of Andy Grayson in this retrospective video. Special thanks to Grayson for lending us his trials bike for the video!
This limited edition jersey is available for purchase though your local Ibis or online at Ibiscycles.com, link below: store.ibiscycl...

Turns out I really like bikes, even old ones! All of those bikes were sweet in their own ways. This was a super fun project, thank you Ibis!
Sickest of riding Pat! Always enjoy watching your stuff and I'm really glad Ibis gave you the opportunity!
Great work! Sick riding and edit. The handlebars of the one being narrow looked so awkward 😂
Was that *Pat Smage* on *Johnny Carson* 40 years ago...?!?
Pat doesn't look 40 **today*!!!*
The modern MOJO is still my favourite, wicked video
Love it! Great riding Pat! Thanks for making my old bike look so good. You rode it better than I ever did! Love all your videos!
Super awesome so glade you appreciate the old school stuff. Ibis definitely found the right rider for there 40 years. Someone humble with unreal bike skill and a bit of an old soul great video
The last one was my favorite, I really like the purple/blue color scheme.
Pat is hands down coolest dude.
We had great luck of timing our bike ride at the same time and got to watch some of this in real time! It was an absolute pleasure getting to watch Pat do something he clearly loves. This was awesome to see the whole video put together!
The 90's Mountain Trials bike is such a cool concept. Way ahead of it's time. Definitely my favorite of the bunch, although it's hard to not like that shiny new Mojo! Got a Ripley AF in the family... I think the Mojo is next!
This was as tubular as it gets!
I really liked all bikes, awesome to See how bikes changed over the time. Also good to see what the old bikes are still capable of.
I own a Ripmo AF.
First bike was my favorite. Reminds me of my GF Big Sur with white tires. Those old bikes were so much harder to ride.
Currently riding a Ridley LS (no bar ends thankfully).
I like the blue and purple bike looks like a great bike to ride and the stunts were 🔥🔥🔥
This video was straight up eye candy, whoever put this together deserves some trail mix and a cold one.
Love the history! Last bike was my fav. Thanks Pat!
Trials in the barn was sick 🙌🏻
That orange mojo is sweet! I just picked up my brand new orange Ripmo AF today and am so stoked to ride it around in Colorado. The only thing cooler would be repping an Ibis jersey too ;)
Loved the intro! I’ll have to say my favorite part was you crushing the downhill on the no suspension bike lol
Third bike looks sick 🔥
Loved the trials bike, of course! Wish I had a current Ripley, but I have a ~1994 Ibis Szazbo I'm slowly restoring! 🤙
The modern bike was my favorite. You could really rip on it
Pat is such an impressive rider. His skills across so many different bikes puts him up there with the like of Chris Akrigg and Danny Mac. Ibis sure has a great ambassador with how positive and approachable Pat seems to be. Great guy with some impressive skills and creativity on display here and all his other vids.
So sick!!! Pat is the man no matter how old the bike is!!!!
3:23 was soo smooth. I ride a 2016 mojo hd3 👌
Holy shit pat went absolutely bananas on the new bike
Watching you ride with 1ft wide bars was painful lol! I dont own an ibis but I rented a ripmo af and loved it! Keep doing cool stuff!
The ripmo is sick!
Such an awesome video! I love the trials MTB. I wish there was a modern equivalent. It'd be sweet to have a bike built for trials but with versatility of switchable gears and such. If I were going to get an IBIS available today, though, I'd definitely go for a Mojo like Pat's!
This was awesome! That DP needs a raise. So creatively shot. It's not often a videographer impresses me as much as Pat Smage does. You guys nailed this!
Another masterpiece by Pat Smage.
Put in my entry for the 40th anniversary jersey!! Look the video!! Liked the modern version in your vid the best. I have the original ibis SS from 1990 and would love a jersey to match!!!!! Also have a Mojo 3 for modern riding!!
Winner! It will match the old bike so good! And every mojo seems to be awesome. I saw you commented on Instagram so I’ll message you there. 👍
absolutely mind blowing
Really well done!
That was just Great fun. Thanks.
I really like the second bike. Reminded me of my first MTB I bought in 1994. Those skinny bars. Amazing what a difference from then to the Ripley I ride now.
Awesome video Pat! So much control! It's like the world is a video game for you!
You’ve really done well to use Smage as your marketing man
Awesome 👍
Nice.
can’t believe how old bikes look like kids’ bikes
Pat was riding an XL Mojo carbon! He normally rides a Large Mojo 4.
