USA Trials

Does anyone know where I can buy Ipone Samurai 100% synthetic 2-stroke mix oil (Strawberry) in the USA? I've been using it for a bunch of years in my trials bikes. I purchased a case from Bottle Run in Williamsport years ago and I now have one bottle left. I heard that Ron Commo used to be the US distributor, but not sure how to contact Ron? I've googled Ipone and the closest distributors that I find are in Canada. Any information on finding this in the US is appreciated. Thanks, Ron

If I have to donate my time to get an indoor round of trials into xgames I will gladly do that. A large group of people are working on getting xgames in detroit . How can we piggy back trials and the fim xtrials indoor season on this? If you want to say "it can't happen" log off tc now. If you think you can help let's band together. We have enough man made obsticals, man power, mechanical power, and enthusiasts in this area to make it happen. If its not in this area then we will travel All we need is the right connections. Who can help? Endurox and trials riders are there in the xgames now.... They talk about it.... who can connect the dots? If your shy but hav…

I wanted to log in as a guest to post this but don't know how. Of course some did but I guess since they were so low on the scoreboard there hasnt been any mention of it on The 1st headline stories on TC or Cycle News ,maybe there is some follow up on its way. great weekend in Tennessee and not a complete disaster with new scoring ,even a positive point or two ,I thought.

After a 5 year absence World Trials is back in the USA ! Confirmed for May 25-26 2013 http://www.cyclenews...merica-in-2013/

So I heard a rumor there's a world round in the states this year. Anybody know if thats true?

Going to Moab with my new gas gas txt 300 April 6 to may. Looking for people that like to explore and carry extra gas.

I just finished reading a article in the AMA Mag about Karl Davis and Bryon Roper planning to hit Europe in 2014 !!!!!! !st off , when was the last time a couple of trials riders made the cover ??? 2nd. off ,,I;ve never met Bryon , but I spent a wonderful weekend at TTC a few years ago . And spent alot of time riding with Karl and watching his style ... And I've ridden events since with him too , not ever in his class ... And this young man is someone we need to represent us in our world ! He is polite , respectful , friendly and aggressive as you can be on a trials bike ... His dad must be very proud .as he is a top rider too . WE all need to donate what ever we …

Airline ticket, check Hawaiian shirt, check 10 year old press bib...... Hey Ahlers, I'm going to need my press bib back... Of course I don't really need it as I'm actually a legitimate journalist now [don't spill your coffee on your laptop laughing Ishy] but it just wouldn't be a World Round without it.

great pics, you can like them on FB, and see some others from Turkey rock in Co. as well. lots of Colorado photo bombers in the background as well. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/NATCMotoTrials

I read some were that Lance bought a GASGAS, he rides trials? I remember last year he mentioned that buying a dirt bike would be one of the first things he would do during retirement. sam

I was reading a thread on another trials forum that they are changing a rule and that you will no longer be allowed to stop forward motion or you get a point (or maybe 5?). They weren't talking about the details but mostly about several small bike companies lobbying for this in an effort to "save" the sport.

I shot this video of the NATC Cotopaxi trial section 8 with my cell phone while checking. The video doesn't do this section justice. Keep in mind these riders are the best we have here in the U.S. It was a very difficult section and some of the riders made it look easy while others struggled. if you recognize the riders post there names. The first rider is Patrick Smage

Hello all, I'm a 41 yr. old trials newb that just picked up a 2005 Montesa 4RT Repsol. I'm coming from a couple years of trail riding in AZ and CO. My house is on a 10 acre lot that I am beginning to add obstacles to. If anybody in the area wants to assist in building the track (and ride of course), let me now! I don't work so I plan on being on the bike a lot - even this winter. In the meantime I will be practicing my ass off (day/night/snow/whatever)! James

I am looking for anyone who has photos of the 1983 National, Round 1 hosted by the CTTA in Austin, TX. Loop maps and other event memorabilia are also acceptable. In addition, if any rider has TX State Series photos from City Park, those also would be helpful. The CTTA is in jeopardy of loosing its riding areas at City Park/Emma Long Park in Austin. We are trying to document our history there through the 90s. Please PM me if you have something. Thanks, Laura

The AHRMA rule book states: 13.2.6 ALL MODIFICATIONS MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE CLASS. Period modifications have been extensively documented and machines with obvious non-period or excessive modifications will be disqualified or required to compete in the next-higher-level class. Where would one find this extensive documentation for a premier trials bike frame as in C15? Would a home made Otter frame be legal?

A great result for the American women at the Trials d'Nations. Fifth place finish at just over 50 points with Spain on 24 should make them proud!

I was just informed of the recent passing of Bob Miller through our So. Cal Trials Forum. Some of you may remember Bob as the US Fantic Importer and owner of Section One Trials Products. Bob has been missing from the our sport for the last 7 or 8 years due to health problems. I believe he was 75 when he passed. Bob was probably best known for his custom made accessories for Bultacos in the 80's and as the US Fantic Importer through the 90's. He was usually the "go to guy" if you needed advice or a spare part at events here in CA. It wasn't uncommon to see Bob helping riders with mechanical problems regardless of the brand of bike they rode. And he usually ha…

In my 36 years of Trials participation, I have to say we now have a Checking Nightmare on our hands. I helped check a section at National Round 1 here in Ca. We were told "any contact with a section marker/sign is scored a 5". "But you can run over a ribbon with no penalty as long as the tire is not past the ribbon with ground showing between the tire and ribbon". It seems to me these 2 conflicting situations makes little common sense. We did not penalize any rider who may have come in contact with a sign short of knocking it over. In previous years, when a rider displaced a sign, it was easy to argue as the infraction was clear to see to the checker and rider due …

Just picked up a 2007 Sherco 290. I haven't done much but practice balance and turns in my yard but am definitely looking for some fellow trials riders to hook up with. Anyone?

After reading this I looked for a local station, they are out there google for ethanol free gas Prohibit Ethanol Blending In All Premium Unleaded Gasoline Every mandatory E10 state has exemptions to their blending law, because there are a number of piston engine applications that should not, and some that cannot, use ethanol blended gasoline. Unfortunately the exemptions are not uniform. They vary from only one exemption in Washington, aircraft, to a universal exemption of premium unleaded in Missouri. All states exempt aircraft usage, but most states like Oregon and Washington make it almost impossible to get unblended gasoline. Oregon is the only state that allows for…
