PAT SMAGE VS OLIVER SMITH
A new video featuring 11 time US Champion Pat Smage (still only 28 years old)
and OSET’s own Oliver Smith (now 18) shows the two of them challenging each
other to a game of ‘BIKE’ on their OSET 24.0R’s. The video shows the potential of
the bikes in the hands of the two best OSET riders in the world, going head to
head on some serious challenges!
Oliver had been invited to the States by ex-US Pro rider Dennis Sweeten. The
two spent time together at the world famous Scottish Six Days Trial where Den-
nis has ridden many times, and Oliver was in for the first time on a 125cc bike!
Oliver bagged the ‘Best under 200cc’ award, partially thanks to Dennis’s help
showing him the ropes through the week. Dennis’s invitation to Oliver and his
girlfriend Jazz was to come to the USA, borrow bikes and ride a US National. Way
too good to pass up, so Oliver and Jazz went on an amazing US adventure!
After Oliver and Pat won their respective classes at the Oregon National the
previous day (both by healthy margins), the two of them stayed behind on the
Monday and shot the ‘Game of BIKE’ video.
OSET 24.0’s are good for any age from 10 years old up. Skills learned on OSET’s
will make any rider better, as proven by Pat & Oliver! n
