USA Trials

About 2 weeks ago, Ryan Young, and general manager, Brad Baumert, from Ryan Young products, have introduced a new radio program called RYP Radio where, they interview professional riders and other members of the Trials community. It can be heard at RYPusa.com

Billy Burgener, the Oldest(only)American Newcomer at the SSDT. Good Luck Old Man!

Title pretty much covers it all. newenglandtrials.org hosting company is having server issues. The NETA novice/beginner school is full so if you're not on the list don't show up.

My bike is Fixed only after scanning TC. Thanks everyone that reply's to bike questions. I am so happy to have this site. 3 Trials in the next 4 weeks. Northern California

Heard a rumor this weekend that an unnamed importer will bring Ossa's to the US and sell them thru East and West Coast Distributors The rider mentioned to ride the Pro Class was really a surprise.

I am proud to announce that the (I think it is USA/Canada) clublist' has been revived. Thanks to the efforts put forth by these guys: Bob Clancy (South Mt. Web Design) and Trev Clancy (Trialdogmotorsports). Direct link is http://www.trialsclubs.us/ I didnt look yet, I think it will also be linkded from NATC's site... No I havent been there in a couple weeks. If you have information about clubs, dont be afraid to share it! there is a link to email bob & Trev. If you notice non working or old information, it is because nobody seems to know the current info. So,letting someone know is good, especially helpfull if you know and if you can give the "good" info. …

Homer just recently rode an excellent local endurocross in springfield mo had a blast the track was first class right up there with the big boys. Does anyone know of any comming up endurocross events in the midwest or extreme enduro (last booger standing in arkansas was good last year. The big events are far west this year and the crowd seems to love endurocross looks like some local events indoor or outdoor would work.

Hi, A friend and I are taking the week from Dec 21 through Dec 28 off to go riding and will be putting our bikes on a trailer, leaving from Minnesota (BRRR) heading south to a more comfortable location. We have plans to go to the TTC in TN. Not knowing what the weather will be in advance and TTC's cancellation policy, I am looking for back up plans to go riding. We may have to scratch our TTC plans to keep some flexibility for winter travel (really sucks trying to plan anything in Minnesota in December). I was really looking forward to getting some instruction as I have not ridden a trials bike since about 1978 (the Sherco 2.9 I just purchased will either delight …

Crud. I see from my TC profile that my reputation is a "0". How did you guys find out? I've tried so hard to keep it a secret, have you been talking to Copey again?....... Jon

Also NATC MotoTrial site/blog can now be followed on facebook and twitter. Take a look, hope you like it! BTW, anyone complaining is automatically volunteered to do something about it! (serious!) Here is the url: http://mototrial.us/ Big thanks to Griff Wigley for an excellent new site and to Mike Codde for the fb page. Oh, we had an outdated US club directory that will not be continued. Try Google search. Take care! Brian

Okay, so it's not trials (but funny how the top three are trials riders). Cody Webb did himself proud at Hell's Gate this last weekend. Absolutely outstanding, especially for his first extreme enduro. Congrats Cody!! http://www.enduro360.com/2011/02/12/gone-racing/2011-hells-gate-enduro-results/

I have been imformed today of the death of Tom "Corndog" Manogue.He was a true Biker thru and thru loved trials.He will be missed. RIP Corndog http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/uticaod/obituary.aspx?n=thomas-manogue&pid=148472450

Some of the clubmembers are having a discussion regarding interpretation of the written NATC rule for foot rotation. The choices are: (1) one point for the foot plant and another point for rotating the foot= 2 points for dab and rotation. (2) One point for for dab and no added point for rotation= 1 point for dab and rotation. We all agree that a dab and drag is 3 points. Any opinions? Jon

I can no longer find a club directory on the natc site there anyone know of anywhere else i can find a directory

NETA schedule/form/rulebook for 2011 now posted to the newenglandtrials.org website. Not sure I like the way the sub forum header abbreviates this.

Ok, After reading all the great posts in the topics about how to save our sport in the U.S., it looks to me that three main obtsacles have emerged. #1 The economy,which we have no control over. #2 Distance. Not much that we can do about that either Heck, Utah alone is 1.5 times the size of England, 89,000 sq miles, compared to 50,000 sq miles. As far as I know, there is not another Trials rider within 100 miles of where I am sitting in my kitchen. So, if a rider is going to make that 3-4 hour one way drive to get to an event, how do we ensure (as much as humanly possible) that he has a good enough time to want to go to the next one? #3 Section difficulty. T…

Now with CW to Beta....PS seemingly staying at Sherco...just who (or is it whom?) will carry the Gas Gas banner? Any leaks, rumors, or outright lies will be appreciated.

I'm selling my 2006 Gas Gas 200 and I need to ship it across the country. How should I go about doing this? I'm looking for the cheapest possible way. Thanks!

Since we are starting to get some questions from people about the location already, I will post a few pieces of basic information to hold people over until the official information is out. Texana Ranch is near Blackwell, TX. Going to google maps and typing "texana ranch" into the search should find it. It is on Ross Rd. There are lots of RV hook ups on site. The information on how to reserve will be provided in the rider info when posted. We encourage people to bring their motorhomes/campers. There is not a whole lot of hotel choices. There is a local hotel in Bronte, TX (14 mi). The camp ground in Robert Lee (26 mi) has some rooms, and there are hotels in Sweetwater, T…
