USA Trials

Any results from RI?

I would like to find other people in WV that like ride trials and maybe put on a trial or two. With all the great land to ride on here in WV they has to be someone else. Thank Scott

Please examine my last post in the World Championship Chat Forum, under TC Party on the Ben, re the TC Charity Auction! And please act swiftly! All about the Charity Auction and the available Ryan Young Training Vids! And if you do not have one, you need one! Thank you all! Cheers, MC Thanks Ryan!

Hey Cope or any others in the area, I have a very good friend who left CA yesterday to tow a trailer and car out to Florida. I woke up this morning to see his distressed email wherein his truck caught fire about 100 miles east of El Paso. He got the fire out, tried to call AAA but had no Cell service, no one stopped for four hours until another rig pulls up ON FIRE! The owner of the rig lives 30 miles away from there so I'm hoping they got to his place. I'm trying to get in touch with him now. If any of you are in the area or can offer some assistance it would be greatly appreciated. My friend was very down on life before the trip and he's heading out to the east co…

Cope any 1st lap results on the EXP/PRO shhotout??

It is with heavy heart that I report our friend, "Colonel" Mark Hogan has passed away. Plonker's past president will be remembered as a very entertaining, outgoing, inspiring, & fun loving guy who we always looked forward to spending time with both on trials weekends as well as fast bike weekends. Believe it or not, Colonel joined and rode with Team Full Monty on many dual sport rides and he kept right up with "our pack" as we blasted past the rest of the riders both on fire roads as well as single track in places like Kennedy Meadows, Big Bear and the Mojave Desert. Most of you might remember Colonel as the 'exessively large' man riding around the Californi…

Patrick asked me to post a note to the trials world. If you'd like to read it, click here.

I have a somewhat unusual request. I've had a Trials related e-mail relationship with a young man who recently passed away. His widow contacted me about finding a good home for his favorite Trials bike, a 2002 Pro (Jordi Pasquet's as I remember) and I said I would help her find a good contact. She lives in northern central Illinois in a town called Utica. I thought it might be in the NITRO club area but was not sure. If there is someone in a club in that area that could help her and maybe help a new rider find a bike, I'd greatly appreciate it. You can PM me off the forum. Thanks. Jon Stoodley

After a so- so 1st round in Spain some of us wondered if maybe far too many quality events were missed for an American kid to be in the mix,but after a quick week of adapting Pat and his wonderminder put them right in the hunt . All I can say is WOW and all other superlative words you can think of. I challenge EVERY North American TRials fan to spend a minute and shout out with a huge Sherco thumbs up for them to go out and rock and roll the Junior class Sunday . Un believale a CLEAN DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone have any videos of the OK rounds?? I havent seen anything on Youtube at all. I heard it was pretty crazy stuff

It is with great regret that I announce the passing of Allen Guyot from KS. age 53. Allen was a personal friend of mine from the trials scene, and a great guy that held much history in both national and regional levels dating back to the 80's as best I figure, possibly beyond, yet far beyond my time in the trials game. A very skillfull rider whom often dominated events ! Such a great fellow rider and promotor of trials! Reports are that he passed in his sleep prior to the event in OK last weekend. He will be missed by many, my comments are but a pittance! Gods Speed Allen! I will miss you!

Take the 2 top US Trials Riders, Pat and Cody and at their current ability with their current bikes. How many years back would we have to go (and everything else being the same in that era, bikes, riders, etc.) for them to be top 5 World Riders? Or better yet, World Champ?

Congratulations to Ron Commo's 16th overall place in Tenn. NEPG Enduro National today. http://www.nationalenduro.com/

We're stranded in Orlando because our flight to the UK was canceled due to the volcano last week. Are there any trials in central Florida this weekend? David

After hearing about Eric Storz's accident I've been rethinking my opinion of a full face helmet for trials. I'm mostly concerned about my young nephew who is just starting out in the sport. I saw Eric and some other young riders wearing full face helmets in competition this year but I never thought to find out what kind they were. Does anyone know or have any opinion on this subject?

I was curious what clubmen line at Nationals mean? Do they not already have several classes.

Expecting Patric at the house tonight with his 2010 Sherco, anyone in the area that would like to see it is welcome to come by the house on Saturday the 9th to check it out ! PM me and i'll give you directions to my house.

Hello, Does anyone know why (or what it would take) to put updated information on here? It seems that the world news is all current however the new bikes only go to 2008 as well as the riders and such. Any suggestions? Tim Pilg
