Canada Trials

The 2010 Outlaw Trial is now in the History books - The 23rd running of this annual event saw 45 riders out on the two days of action in the Okanagan Valley, near Summerland BC. With the Vintage on Saturday, and the Modern on Sunday. The 20km loops on Sunday, had two loops of 20 sections for Expert/Advanced riders, and 15 x2 for the other classes. - An early morning rain shower made the rocks slippery, but they dried out for the second loop. Brandon Wince of Kelowna beat out Stan Bakgaard for the Expert win on the tie break, with Steve Foord in third place. Full results can be seen by clicking on www.trialscanada.com.

Great time of the year to be riding here in NS. We have wrapped up events for the year but still having a lot of fun getting in some practice time and some challenging trail rides. Always great riding with somebody who is way better than you (on the pegs).

I just read through the recent "Trouble at AHRMA" thread on the USA forum. Yikes! Almost as bad as reading CMA/WEC politics for modern Canadian Trials! As for the former, all politics aside, the riding issues sound very familar to ones I have heard since starting to help organize and compete in vintage events here in Canada over 20 years ago. Ironically, some of the vintage bikes we see out in recent times were being used in modern events back when we started "vintage" trials in Eastern Canada! Much has changed and the old guard of BSA and Triumph riders are almost completely absent now, while the ubiquitous TY's , TLs, Sherpas, etc. are all over 30 years old. Turnouts…

Hi folks, Thought I'd post-up and say hi to my fellow Canadians. I'm just getting re-aquainted with the sport - I used to have a TY80 when I was a kid in the UK almost 30 years ago. Haven't riden a trials bike since then - but just picked up a 1993 Beta Gara 260 to play around with. I'm going to teach my little dude how to ride his XR50 next year and thought a trials bike would be the ideal machine to putt-along side him. I'm also interested in finding out about trials clubs in south-western Ontario and possibly competing an an easy class - once I have mastered the basics. I'd be interested in getting in touch with anyone who lives in the Oakville / Burlington area. Ri…

😎 Almost completed setup and loop marking for the July 20th & 21st. 8 sections per day and three or four loops to be determined by the weather, pre-registration is greatly appreciated. I'll post the official flyer here soon I hope.

My kid is awesome.

I'm looking to get back into trials after a long break. The best deals I can find are on Sherco or GasGas bikes. Will all the changes in Canada dealers/ Importers, is one of these a bigger risk to get parts in the future?

What are you all doing for insurance on these bikes? Liability only or Fire and Theft too? Thanks, J

Nice article on Matt Fracy.

Press Release - The WTC ( World Trials Canada) a division of the WEC and MCC Canada. - Wish to announce a new Electric Trials Class for 2015, to encourage younger riders to participate in the sport.

I see anyone riding off road in BC Victoria need to sport a BCORMA trail sticker price $30/ year even on the clubs own private property. In Oregon we have the ORV tag which costs $10.50 for two years, and only applies when you are riding on state forestry property, on private property used by our club, which is the majority of the events each year, no sticker is required. Both California and Washington states honor the Oregon sticker as we do thier sticker. If we come up to ride the PNTA rounds on private property and have to pay $30 plus entry fee per rider to ride on private property, is it fare to charge your riders $30 extra to ride our events ?. Or would it mak…

With nothing to do except browse the web: - I thought the rest of the World would like to know that Global warming does not apply in Canada !! - In the usually balmy Okanagan Valley of British Columbia it is a crisp -14 today, but that is warm compared to Calgary with a temperature of -32 + windchill = -49!!! And that children, is why I'm sitting at the keyboard today, instead of heading for Alberta.- I don't care how many customers are hollering for parts or Oil, I 'aint movin. - Oh ! and as for the brand new bikes sitting in the shop - looks like they will remain shiny for at least a couple more weeks.
