It's gotta be great to be a Putt!!! First you land on this months Cover of the AMA magazine then you have a great debut weekend in Texas! Wow... just wow. While setting up our event this weekend we up here in Michigan were glued to the NATC website. Andrew was in 2nd place in his first loop Saturday and ended up third but just barely by 3 points! I bet he can taste section 2, 8 or 12 Saturday all of which had cleans or 5's. With his learning curve I am willing to bet that those mistakes are already ancient history. Well done young man! Sunday looks like a silly 5 on last loop knocked him to 4th but that's really really awesome considering this young man j…

Hi All, We couldn't get this to happen in Canada, so we setup a showing in Bellingham on the 23rd at the Pickford Cinema. We need quite a few attendees before the show will happen - so if you're interested please sign up, put in your payment info and we'll see you there. You'll only be billed if the threshold is met and the event goes ahead as planned. https://www.tugg.com/events/12923 We're also using the event to raise awareness for the novice/kids training area that we're developing at Tamahi staging area in Chilliwack. C'mon up and try out our trails! Maps available at dualsportbc.com. http://www.gofundme.com/tamihikids Cheers, Ian

MAV-TV is running the FIM World Championships both Inddor and Outdoor. So far I have seen Corsica, Australia, Italy.... Outdoors plus the full X-Trial series.

Please take a moment and send MAV TV a thank you. The feedback they get is very important.

Hello fellow trials enthusiasts, I have created a web map in which you can place a point for where you live, as well as good places to ride. My hope is that people will be able to use this to network and make new riding friends and ride new areas. Click the details tab in the link below for more information. This link takes you to the mapping app: http://ps-dbs.maps.arcgis.com/apps/OnePane/basicviewer/index.html?appid=350418affc254bcabbf70d80863896ef Thanks and let’s ride! -Todd

Got to ride with and watch a couple of the best in the US today and yesterday. Got to see some amazing riding skills by Bryan Roper and Andrew Putt, along with Bryan's little brother Josh. These guys are top notch!

Will be moving from California to North Carolina in a few months... I've been trying to get the scoop on trials riding in the Carolinas, but information is scarce. Anyone from NC or SC here, or have any useful info??

Hey guys I have 5 acres (adjacent to 20 more I can use as I please) in the country and I am wanting to expand my home trials training riding area. I'm going to buy a few hundred (or more) railroad ties and am looking for ideas on how to use them to build some cool stuff to ride on. I have a skid steer at my disposal and all the soil I can use as well. Anyone have any ideas for some cool stuff I could build to ride on? Also any ideas for other stuff to use? Some ideas I have from seeing other stuff; Huge tires oil / water tanks concrete culverts logs pallets thinking maybe one of those across ocean shipping container also.... If anyone has any cool ideas for s…

My stomping ground.... I got a nice 2004 Sherco 2.9 earlier this year, have about 4-5 tanks of gas through it. Been riding some of the old stomping grounds I used to hit when I was a kid. More fun on a trials bike for sure, starting to get into decent bike shape. Anyway it been fun learning all I can thought I'd share a few pics of where I ride. I am lucky to be able to ride right from home my parents have some land in the country and all the old trails I rode as a kid are still right where they used to be This section goes on like this for a very long time, LOTS of gnarly sections like this to try and get over. I basically try to go slowly and get over as mu…

Today was a great day. We here in Michigan got to ride yet another good MOTA trails event. In the spirit of competition we as an organization are calling out three fellow USA trails organizations to perform the ice bucket challenge to recognize and donate to ALS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmO1sp4cGZI&feature=player_embedded Southern Trials Riders Association, Trials Incorporated, New England Trials Association consider yourself called out. A bunch of us took the challenge at the event today and we raised $249.63 for the ALS cause. I look forward to seeing who these organizations call out. --MOTA via Biff http://stratrials.com/ http://www.newenglandtrials.…

How much can I expect to pay (incl all taxes etc) for a 300 Gas Gas Pro (Standard) in the US (more specifically New York)? Can't find any prices on the net. Would I be better taking my bike with me if we move out there? Thanks

Anyone have any connections or know of any dealers who still have a 2014 4RT for sale. Willing to pay for shipping or travel to get one. Please help looking for one to ride in this year NATC Moto Trials Nationals.

OK cali guys ... I've been away since 2003 . used to live in Arrowhead . If I move back , what will it take me to get my trusty Fantic collection green stickered out there ? My First wife wants me to come back ? Or is Flagstaff Arizona a better option ? I like the climate / terrain in both areas . Just curious of what you know ... Glenn

Anyone have a ballpark idea what I should be paying for a 2008 Beta 250, assuming good average condition?
