I know cope was talking about getting out to do a birthday ride. I know that Texas and the mid west have probably had more snow than us here in Michigan this year. We got out to ride this weekend. We were goofing around in the mud and ice. 2" down and you hit solid ice which was great practice and after i broke the gasser I got to try out the newish camera. Excuse the drunken video editing. We Michiganders are ! Gotta go play with some more footage.--Biff

I would again like to contribute to Patrick's world assault. His recent videos show tremendous form at rear wheel riding. I am excited to see the effort to go. Please post an address to send donations. Patrick go do your best and please document with video and if you create a dvd I would be happy to purchase that also as My kids and I have enjoyed the previous Smagical videos

Hi all ; I'm thinking about getting a new small enclosed trailer for my trials travels ... I need a consensus of opinions ... Triton or Featherlite ??? I can get a good deal on either, But I want opinions on the lifespan ... (aka the last trailer I want to buy !) Thanks , Glenn

Yep, that is the word! This possibility has been rocking in the back of my head for awile now. Oh well, wish him the best! Cody is a great guy and so is his dad(Kip). This has probably been difficult for him, and god knows what No Jive will do. May put him permanatly into green riding gear! Waiting on that Ossa!

This past saturday Eric Storz had a horrible crash on his trials bicycle which broke 5 bones in his face and a frontal skull fracture, a broken bone in his neck, he broke his sinus into multiple peices and has brain fluid leaking fromhis eyes and noes, and possibly his second broken jaw, he will have to have facial reconstruction again, and

Forgive me if I'm totally ignorant about this because I've never been to an Enduro Cross but would it be possible or feasible to have some sort of indoor trials at an Enduro Cross. I think it's probably pretty obvious to most of the people watching that a lot of the riders have a trials background. I'm just wondering if a short trials would be an option at these events?

Does anyone read print anymore? Shan recently added Enduro to the title of Trials Comp, and I think the paper looks stronger than ever. Now all the top Enduro fans now can see why the trials guys are so good. Plus us trials guys can read up on all the top Enduro guys. Talk about a Win/Win for us dual sport riders. Well done, Shan. Well done.

As a newcomer to the sport 6 years ago I had this idea that with the computer age and trials forums that trials was going to get a shot in the arm as the rest of the country learned of the sport and grow. There was a lot of talk Michlin, Alan B and others cussed and discussed the best plan to grow the sport and even if the sport needed to grow. Many said Trials is what it is it wont grow and it wont die at the time and didnt necessarly agree with that statement but im starting to come around. Here is the problem from where i live (sw missouri) there is/was 5 clubs within 300 miles the avg attendence for a club event is as roughly as follows club #1) 25 riders 3 under 18 …

Hello to all, Well I've rode my first ever trials event and decided to post my experience. January 24,2010 Tishomingo,OK This was a combined effort by NEOTT & TXTC. Gnarly looking stuff and I had the butterflies bad, understand this- until this event I had a total of about 45 minutes experience on a trials bike and none of those minutes on this bike and none of those minutes in the last 3 months. I'm an ex motocrooser that quit riding dirt in 1998, sold all my bikes and bought a Harley. My Harley was stolen in Sept 2009 and I took that as a sign...get back on dirt. I 'borrowed/test rode' a bike for this past weekend and got it to the house on Thursday nite , y…

So let's see: Last time I stopped by: QUOTE (City Trials @ Apr 13 2009, 09:37 PM) Dang, on the spot question. The era's are so different. The sections and bikes are designed so different. But, I give you this food for thought. Rider? Or World Championship competitor? Patrick may be able to do a few things Tommi can't. But, Tommi can do things Pat can't. On a World Championship scale, until Pat can win a World Championship, Pat isn't a better competitor than Tommi. Tommi's a World Champion and you can't take that away from him. It's documented for history. To which I replied: What the hell? I'm gone for a few minutes and I come back to a 'Politicaly Correct' Craig…

I received an email this morning from Ryan Young, I think most I know get along well with Cody Webb, I always enjoy being around the Webb family at trials. I think it will be good for the sport in the USA that Cody becomes #1 rider for GG USA, now top two US riders are on different brands, and I'm sure it will spice up the compitition for 2010. From Ryan.> Fellow Sherco team riders, We wanted to let you know that we received a call from Cody Webb today informing me he is going to ride for team Gas Gas this year. Cody had been a top rider with Sherco since 2005 and won two indoor championships for us, he has contributed to the team in more ways than I can count, his…

Do any of you guys know of any decent trials shops in Southern California?! I'm off to stay with my friends again in Fullerton and it would make a change from the VW stores I normally go to and find a trials store! Thanks Steve

My local club uses NATC rules for scoring, much like most clubs in the US, I think. Often I seen riders balanced and in control but their bike stalls and they just sit down and curse and accept a five. Could they have had a clean? Back in the 80's and 90's it would be common for someone to stall, then balance, kickstart and continue without dabbing with no penalty. Now it seems when someone stalls, they just take a 5. Here is the NATC rule: The engine stops while footing or while any other part of the machine, except for the tires, is used for support, without forward motion (The motorcycle must be moving forward while footing with a dead engine to avoid a five (5). …

I think the date change for the youth nationals west is a good move, I wasn't going to go because of the 2000 mi it added to the trip if you rode the adult events in Colorado and California, then go back out to catch the youth event. "NEWS-- From Bill Markham----Western Youth National date change--the W/Y/Nationals dates have been change to 17-18-19 JULY -- This way any one coming form the west coast will not have to make two trips if they are coming to both the Youth National at Las Vegas, NV and the CO National which is July 24 & 25." Now I can take the kids out to New Mexico, and also catch the adult events on the drive back

So I rode my first Trialscross in Vegas. Man what a work out. Here comes a bunch of whinning. The sad part was I really worked out for this. I have gone to Endurocross for the last 3 years and sat in the stands yelling GO AROUND, PASS HIM, GO GO GO and several other comments. Let me tell you I was exhausted after the qualifer. My forearms were stiff as a rock, my mouth as dry as a cotton ball. But im ready to do it again next year. This event was much harder than I thought. I have no idea how you could ride a motocross bike around the course. The sad part is I made the main event and did not know it. So I missed riding the main event. Here is a Video. Im the one who…

Hi, I've just gotten into trials and rode the last half of the Trials inc. series. There schedule does not start back up till april 2010! I'm looking to continue running trials events but can't find any that run during the winter. Is there anything out there? Thanks, Adam

Here's a few photos of the area for the Octobertest this weekend in the 1700 acre Scipio off-road park in central eastern Oklahoma. We've got some nice waterfalls, creeks, rocks, mud, logs, hills, off-cambers etc....you know, real Trials stuff to play on. The 32 sections are taped and cleaned and the loop is set and the weatherperson says no rain (luckily, we do have a little water in the creeks, but no dust!). Jon
