USA Trials

This must be the way Englishman Post because most of the time I can't understand what the hell their trying to say.........wutyathk Craig?

A friend called me to tell me about this free video game. I checked it out. I am not really into video games, but this seemed like fun- I even tried it a few times. It's really trials bikes on a video game. I never saw that before. Better yet it's free! Have fun...Let us all know if you can master it! http://www.addictinggames.com/stuntdirtbike.html

Im quoting from other sources. There are people in here that usually know or know those in the KNOW. so I ask, IS IT TRUE? Someone very wise a few years back said, dont worry about them closing all the riding places, they'll just ban the friggin bikes one of these days... I thought, Oh bull$... they'll never do that. Right. This is the letter that was sent to Honda dealers from American Honda's senior vice president, Ray Blank... Dear Honda Dealer: On August 14, 2008, Congress enacted the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA or Act). The Act was primarily in reaction to the recent influx of lead-tainted toys that resulted in numerous reca…

So its like four outside in the garage right now.... Gasgas is needing attention but this couch i am on is soooo comfy. I know I need motivation. We needed a new post for the US anyway. I am day dreaming of this up and coming season, Surfing youtube, calculating those earned vacation hours, trying not to buy useless cr@p online, and wondering what people out there are doing with their trials bikes. So let me break this down by region.... East coast north-- Yeah its snowing there too huh? Any indoor stuff going on? Any planned travels? I used to ride in the snow and make a groove then try to ride that groove time after time. (mud rut training) Snowboarding and skiing must…

Hope this get derailed shortly... From : Racer X website Proposed 100% Tax on European Motorcycles: AMA fights possible 100 percent tariffs on certain European motorcycles Dec 8 2008 12:15PM The AMA announced today that it has written to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative opposing a plan that could double the cost of some European motorcycles imported into the United States. The plan being considered by U.S. trade officials would impose a 100 percent import duty on more than 100 European goods -- including two engine displacement categories of motorcycles, 51cc to 250cc, and 251cc to 500cc. The federal measure is designed as retaliation to the 27-member…

Cody Webb has an interview that is posted on line. Pretty nice interview. Kind of shows how endurocross has been helping the Trials guys get exposure and how rides like Geoff and Cody have made an impact on riding the big bikes.

Yeah...I still ride 2 or 3 times a year. The Sherco still starts on exactly 2 kicks even after sitting for months with old gas. Anyway...Merry Christmas. And...anybody out there near Elkins West Virginia? I may be out there for a week this summer with free time on my hands. Charlie's Album...and bid for World Musical Domination

Happy Christmas to all of you in America from us in the UK . Lets hope some of our boxers meet up again for a great sporting event too. Have a good one !!!!

Hi there. Is there a DVD for sale from the WTC round in Tennessee this year. Thanks for any help Karl

I was just seeing if there were any videos of the US nationals from this year out there. Youtube barel had any, and I know there was lots of spectacular rocks at MN and CO, trust me I fell off a lot of them!!!!

So there i am dreaming away myself to an enchanted island... Hot babes the whole nine yards. The next thing I know I am now riding over this huge pyramid thing.... So me being the responsible one I call Kutchey and tell him that I am taking over the barn and building something huge. An expensive trip to Lowes and I am seeing this come true. He was crazy enough to let me do it... Tomorrow we go back to lay in some rocks and logs and ride the thing in. Its strong as h#ll but knowing me i will break something bike me or the obstical. Zippy got let off the leash so he can come yet the wifey told him to stay off of it. Hahahahahhahahahahha Oh boy i need help! Too bad …

I was looking through Dirt Bike magazine February 1973. What do I see? I'm certain this is one of or STRA members or his doppleganger! Fess Up Dude, where where you in Feb 73?!!!

Its really dead here on the forum and especially dead in my area. Feel like im the last one left in Sw Missouri but I'm not ready to turn the lights off. Ive been trying to stir up some new riders mainly thru local woods and Enduro guys. Maybe the poll should have stated what would best get people involved in trials. My personal story I read about trials bikes in dirt bike magazines in the 70s bought a used one at a local dealer was introduced to the sport events by a co worker rode one year set out 25 years went back i guess reliving my youth and have ridden 5 years since

Are there any trials riders in the Lake Havasu City area? I am vacationing there through Thanksgiving weekend and wondered if anybody did trials around here. Steve Eichelberger

It sure seemed that things were kind of boring around here these days, so I came up with an idea for us all to share a bit about our riding backgrounds and what brought us to this crazy sport here in 2008. I have been in many different modes over the decades, starting in 1969 with my Suzuki 90 - started competing in trials and enduro in 73 (Montesa) went to MX in 77(Montesa) then a long break from 79- 92. Back into Enduro and HS and Trials since then. Still ride street a little, but currently active in HS, Enduro, Trials and Vintage with too many bikes in the garage for my wife to understand. Rarely stuck with a single series for championship points- always tried to ride…

Does anyone know whether or not Craig still has braces? I'm researching the type of terrain my rear tire will be traveling over.
