Ot Pi is a Spanish bike-trials rider, often regarded[by whom?] as the man responsible for the discipline's origin.[1] He has won several world titles[citation needed] and is featured on a number of videos that showcase the sport. CareerOt Pi (aka "Hot Pie") Isern made his U.S. debut at the age of 17 at the Mammoth Mountain World Mountain Bike Championships in August 1988 where he easily clinched the Trials competition.[2] His fluid style and signature 360-degree dismount from atop boulders, logs and planks, drew crowds and amazed all onlookers. As Zapata Espinoza wrote in his racing re-cap:
Several months later, Ot returned to the U.S. as a guest of Trials rider, Kevin Norton.[4] The two were videotaped at Corona del Mar, California on moonscape cliffs above the Pacific Ocean and appeared in a video released in 1988 called Ultimate Mountain Biking: Advanced Techniques & Winning Strategies.[5] In 1994 Ot Pi appeared in another video entitled Full Cycle: A World Odyssey performing Trials in various locations in and around Athens, Greece, including the Plaka, National Garden of Athens, Acropolis, Parliamentary Building, Olympic Stadium, Christianity Rock and Sounion, known for its temple ruins by the Aegean Sea.[6] Current activity
The white bicycle (Ghost Bike) is internationally known as the symbol in homage to all the cyclists victims caused by the traffic accidents. Ot Pi's "Ot Pi Play" bicycle /clothes in white are meant to be a matter of conscience to all the riders administrations that the cyclists are easily injured in the traffic and their security must be guaranteed. In 2020 Ot Pi made a series of videos starring the character OtPiPlay. References
