USA Trials

Looks like I'm off to Las Vegas with my work this Thursday, any trials riders there that want to meet up?

I just saw an add for the new show on ABC Thursday night that showed Chris Florin and another rider doing some 'in house' stunts. Might be alright

In a discussion elsewhere on here, we are speaking of the various class names that are used, and hopefully working towards some standardisation. Some people feel it is important, and some not but no matter which side you are on, most folks should be able to give their take on this related, but slightly seperate subject. What in your opinion, put into words, makes a rider an "Advanced" class rider. The basis of my opinion is found here in the STRA rules section 3 http://setrialsriders.org/STRA_Rules/STRA%...book%202005.pdf Unfortunately though, it basicly say's someone that can ride a National Support line. I would like to put something more into words, that someone …

Its funny, I sometimes get the erge to ride MX again, I always enjoyed the sport a lot! So, I'm browsing threw results and see riders from the time period of when I competed in MX, I'm thinking Wow, these guys are still at it! Then today I read where a 40's yr old guy I was friends with back then broke his hip over the weekend. Needs a hip replacment and I would guess at that age dirt biking would be over period! I'll stick to my weird looking machine with no seat!

Suprised no comments!! Best USA finish in the A Class ever, congradulations to Chris, Will, Pat and Cody--A job well done, also to all the minders and support of the TEAM USA!!!

If all you North American members that are always debating about how to best promote trials on this side of the Atlantic are open to suggestions, I would propose that the quickest way to mainstream recognition of our sport is to get trials into the X Games. Imagine what Fuji, Dougie, Raga and the boys would do to the imagination of young riders all over the world if they were showcased along side the other extreme sports.

Making us proud. Here's our Young American's.

We are preparing for the 25th (or so) F-I-S 2-Day which will be held at Hard Rock cycle park in Ocala on March 4th and 5th. There will be 10 sections ridden 3 times each day with the emphasis on FUN! We had a club event on the 8th and my clubmembers cleared 5 new areas, so the variety will be from rocky sections to good camber hills. We are making sure the sections are of similar difficulty or a little easier than the class norm with the exception in the champ lines. They will be Natl Ex to Pro lines for a tune-up for the season. The entry fee is $20/ day and a $20 gate fee for the weekend, AMA required. They have camping hookups for $20 with Hotels and restaurants in abu…

Anyone catch the Endurocross on TV the other night? It was the one in Vegas with Nick on the Sherco.

My 8 year old son Ty got to do what many of us have been wanting to do for years, he got to ride his motorcycle in the school playground! He had been telling us that he wanted to do a Demo at school for a while and we thought they would never go for it, but one day my wife mentioned it to the Principal and she thought it was a great idea! I wasn't sure how it would go. Would the kids get trials? Could an 8 year old do anything to impress them? Where they going to think "this is stupid"? Well as soon as he started the bike the kids where "oohing & aahhing" so I knew it would go pretty well. He did some balancing Then he rode over some obstacles and then…

Just curious why there is no World Round scheduled for the US in 2007. I thought the action in Tn was great last year.

Since I have been busy building yet another Hodaka trials bike, I am thinking a bit lately about my first trials event. It was spring of 1972 and I was an awkward 13 year old. I had just recently gotten my first trials bike, a 1964 Hodaka Ace 90 trials special, which had been built by Whitey Hartman. Though I had been riding my little Honda mini Trail 50 for about one year, I had never ridden any sort of trials bike. The lowly Hodaka had been in the hands of at least two owners since my Uncle Whitey had built a trials bike out of it, and it was quite a bit worse off by the time I ended up with it. The poor thing had a badly bent frame and seemed to leak oil and goo from…

It's the END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!

I was under the impesssion that there was a couple of years differance in their ages. World Trials has them born on the same day.
