USA Trials

Just got my new copy of the AMA American Motorcyclist magazine and Debbie Evans is on the cover. Very good article, great photos and well worth reading. There is also a photo and short article on the USA Trials des Nations team. Jon

All USA NATC National Riders: There is a week left to send back your rider survey. If you have not filled it out, now is the time to do so and send it back. I sent out 200, received back 76. Next year riders will be able to fill out the survey on line immediately after the event, while it is still fresh in your mind. Thanks in advance Jim Watson

Now that I know Cam 2 has entanol in it I am considering coating the inside of my plastic tank. Any thoughts on whether it would help protect the inside of a plastic tank from the damaging effects of the entanol with one of the tank coatings that are available? The only one I saw was from KBS but it is for metal tanks. Does anyone know of one that works on plastic tanks? Has anyone had success with this? Thanks, Bob

After attending the Ontario CA Endurocross, I am amazed by the popularity of this sport among young (and a few old)Trials Riders. A $100. entry, and about 1 hr of total riding time the whole day! Speed,Fame,Money,..... the reasons lost on me.

Well....lost a jitsie carbon/kevlar fork guard....disc side....2010 GasGas (Marzocchi aluinum). This is the kind that just form fits to the lower fork leg...carbon or kevlar i think. Anyone out there lose a disc side and need a rightside? Anyone out there lose a right side and want to sell a disc side?

Disclaimer: Non-trials information. Great story. 41-year-old earns first National AMA win after 23 years of racing.

Has anyone tried one of these evaporative cooling vests (MOTOBOSS or Bilt Cooling Vests from Cycle Gear) during a trial? Do they work as advertised?

Hi guys, Knowing that our US (and Canadian) counterparts tend to use their bikes for longer trips, I was hoping a post here might generate some useful replies! Basically, I managed to get hold of the Beta long range tanks/seat unit for my '07 Rev 3 4T - but no fitting instructions. If anyone has fitted such a thing to their bike, or even better has the fitting instructions, a walkthrough of how it goes on would be much appreciated. The Beta factory is closed for the whole of August, so I'm left a bit stumped for now. Thanks

Does anyone know who won the Geritol trials

Hey everyone, I have been requested by Copemech to share this video on the forum, enjoy!

If anyone is driving through Durant Oklahoma on their way to So CA anytime soon and would like some fuel money for picking up a Montesa and delivering it, email me at ringomoto@yahoo.com I'd rather pay a fellow trials rider then an unknow shipping company.

We're proud to announce that Malcolm Smith Motorsports and Dirt Rider Magazine have stepped up to the plate and are sponsoring The Plonkers of Southern California Championship Series for 2011/2012. Are there any Moore sponsors out there who'd like to throw their hat in the mix?? Ok, I have to go to X-Games now.

After a couple of years of strategy meetings, financial restructuring and corporate resolutions, I

Plonkers very own Ryan

I couldn't be happier to SHAMELESSLY PLUG The Plonkers! Two of this years TDN riders are members of The Plonkers MotoTrials Club of Southern California. Andrew Oldar and Eric Storz will bring a style and flair that the world has never seen and we're proud to have them in our club. Ringo Plonkers Prez and shameless promotor of the sport of Mototrials.

The Plonkers Trials Club is proud to announce that our very own Plonkers member will be competing in X-Games tomorrow. Ryan "SANDYPANTS" Sandoval was born into the Plonkers famlily and grew up riding and competing with us. Look at him now!!!! Isn't it amazing what MotoTrials has done for our riders??? Just watch the X-Games to see the talent that So CA has produced.

What should they do next to WOW the crowd?, They should have some pretty good backing now to set up props. My first thought is a van or car or motorhome, U Haul Truck. People need to relate to something. When you say they rode up a van, people have a grasp of what they did. When you say they jumped from one stand to another it is hard to get. I was thinking a hot chick to bunny hop over or more hot girls is always good. A good chase scene. What ideas do you have.Lane could help them (seriously). Ringo could MC, Pat could give a speech?? Lets give them some ideas (like they need our help).

FOX clothing has stepped up with the assistance from Steve Storz to outfit our Team USA in the Trial des Nations event at Tolmezzo, Italy. The team members will all be attired in the same style and color of gear giving a further professional team appearance. We are very thankful an industry leader such as FOX has recognized the Team USA Trials accomplishments. We also would like to give recognition to the many clubs around the country which have rallied to support the team in distributing our fund raiser shirt and in donations from various clubs across the country with a standout donation from the Central Texas Trials Riders of their National event in the amount of $2,000…

According to Arbiton ratings, with 12.85 million viewers per-week for America's Got Talent, Pat and Phil have given the motorcycle without a seat it's largest audence the bike has ever seen. Amazing numbers. The guys are now in Hollywood and will perform again July 19.
