USA Trials

Trials Training Center THe entry forms are starting to trickle in for the Youth National and U.S. Women's Open. For those of you still needing entry forms, you can download them from the TTC website on the front page, scroll down to the bottom. (http:\\www.trialstrainingcenter.com) We have a week long Family Youth Camp planned this year with activities planned everyday for the whole family, starting on Sunday, June 27. I would really like to see the entry field for the Youth reach 100 this year and 40 for the Womens Open. So how about it!!

WOW, a couple of surprises here Weighing In... Dan Brown and Barry Florin conducted an impromptu new-bike "weigh in" at the Trials Training Center during the National Competition. Using out-of-the-box machines from TTC's own stock (with exception of the 4-stroke 140cc Scorpa and the Gas Gas Raga Special, which were provided by the respective importers), each bike was weighed, using accurate digital scales. Before weigh in, each bike was emptied of fuel, but contained tranny fluid and coolant in ready-to-ride form. Weights (LBS.) From Heaviest To Lightest Montesa - 167 (without lights) Beta - 164 (with lights) Scorpa 4-stroke - 163 (without lights) Scorpa 2-…

Should it be Aug 14 and 15 not 15 and 16? Too many questions.

Noel has asked me to start some dicussion about moving the Dickeyville/Platteville event back one weekend. It's currently scheduled for August 7/8. However, that's the immediate weekend after the Haggis Basher 2 day in Duluth. This doesn't allow much time for the guys to set it up. So the proposal is that we move Dickeyville/Platteville to August 15/16. Please comment. I'm sending this to our dicussion group at http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/WIMNtrials/ and posting it to several other locations such as UMTA.org and trialscentral.. -- Regards, Bentley Wolfe Senior Support Engineer, Macromedia Flash Senior Escalation Engineer Owner, MEGAMO MIDWEST - Now s…

Would all champ class riders please let me who are planning to attend El Trial? I know the national schedule isn't very user friendly this year and I'd like to know prior to setting up the Sunday exibition sections. Lord knows if you guys don't show up I'll have to do it and I don't think we have enough protective gear to pass out to the crowd. regards on behalf of the American Trials Association, Ringo

If I read the results correctly, there were two riders in pre '65 Scottish Two Day event by the name of Malcolm Smith. Were either of them the well known American rider?

For those of you that may not be aware, American Dennis Sweeten is the lone US rider at the SSDT this year. Dennis got off to a rough start on Monday and was out of the top 100, but has since pulled himself into the top 50. Wednesday he had a very respectable 18 point day. Dennis owns Apex Sports in Oregon and is the Montesa parts distributor for the US. http://www.trialscentral.com/cms/showartic...p?articleID=409 Martin Belair US Montesa

Is this event still on? I went to the website and it only lists the Dec 6 2003 indoor. From the gasgas USA website: "The second event in the series is scheduled for May 16, 2004 in Ontario, California. Check http://www.mototrials.com for more information."

Aha! I finally beat Andy to some WOTA stuff! Who says I never update the web site? Well, a lot of people say that, because last year that was true. But this year I'm on the ball. So no story yet. Waiting for Craig the PR guy to send that here to TC, then I'll get a copy. But I put some pics up on http://www.wisconsintrials.org/. In other news... I only rode 2 event days last year, and this year I haven't ridden at all. Sold my bike to finance some home stuff. Just hanging out. So I've been thinking about riding Vintage next season just to cut costs and see how the air-cooled crowd hangs.. Well, I was encouraged to spend the day yesterday riding an '83 Fantic. …

Allright now, I've been gone for quite some time, mainly because it got so boring. I was hoping that the room had lightened up with certain wood chewing varmits off in their own world and Michael Jackson wannabee's banned. Some of you guys take trials in general waaaaay too seriously. Let's not forget that this should be an extention of the campfire. You guys debate **** as thought we were talking politics. Andy and Ian, Maybe there should be a two drink minimum before anyone posts just to get thier technical heads out of their rosie smelling asses and have some fun. We all ride trials and 90% of us all get along no matter where we are in the nation or the worl…

The fuel channel?

Our local state run OHV park has seperate motorcycle and 4wd areas (CA) The park officials and 4wd groups have agreed to allow trials bikes in the 4wd area but do not want the MXers in there. The difficult part is how to designate the area for 4wd and trials only. Enforcement could be a major issue. Does anything like this exist elsewhere? How is it handled? (So far, Trials specific tires seem to be the best choice.)

I'm looking for the results of the 2003 NAMU Trials Championship, anyone know where I can find them? Thanks, -Matt

Was on Fuel channel, hopefully on again at 11:00 Eastern!

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.

Has anyone seen this shirt for sale in the states? I saw it at adamraga.com.

Is it just me or is anybody else insulted by the AMA membership application saying "observed trails". Dan
