USA Trials Reviews & Previews

For those of you who like vintage trials the AHRMA 3 day spectacular (Day 1) at Casper Wy is now on my blog and the results of all three days are on the Ahrma Web site. Day 2 will be up soon with all the pictures and Day 3 at Casper will be published on Tuesday. Tony

Well I'm still here at the TTC. Sorry Cope didn't get your message till I logged on just now. Guess it wouldn't be a fair wager. Another great event!! All the kids are really progressing. In the top 15 & under class it was a three way battle between Eric Storz, Karl Davis Jr. & David Mizell with each one of them winning one of the days. In the end Karl won the championship. As a side note the top three riders where all on 125's. In the 13 & under class Chase Harker easily won his 6th title in a row. Zeke (I think that's how you spell his name) Mizell won the 11& under class with two wins. The other win coming from Aaron Thistle on day one. I s…

I figured I would open up a topic for our up coming event. We have been working on the event since before Rose City so our plan is to wrap it all up this weekend. Goal for the event again is to have straight forward lines where everything can be ridden without hopping. That is if you can hold a line. Hopping is a plus to better line but not necessary. Exp class may have a little hopping necessary but that is to be expected. We have 2 new natural sections and we are also using a spot back at the old sawmill (creek) that we haven't used in a long time with a new line for all. 10 sections 4 laps. As always I am sure we are going to be hurting for checkers so anyone intere…

Just a reminder 3D trials club ride at Cherry Valley,NY.Sept.7,2008.Hope to see everyone there!!!JR

Nationals are coming up this weekend in Duluth Aug 22-23. Any tips from the local club putting the event on?? How is the river water level? Low / high? I suppose we should take time to seal up our flywheel covers good. Where are the good places in the area to eat and have a drink to clear the throat after riding? Any other tips or info would be great to here. 5 of us are leaving from Michigan on Wed after work.

Just a quick reminder 3D trials club annual picnic and ride.Saturday and sunday August 9&10 Oneonta,N.Y..There wiill be a bicycle trials saturday afternoon,followed by some kind of motorcycle special test.This is usually some kind of timed race and break the balloon at the end to stop the clock always a lot of fun.There will be lots of food,entertainment and the pool will be open.So come on out and have a good time!!!Hope to see all are club members for this one.JR

I was told the Rose City event will be expanding the riding grounds from last year. Last years event was great! The riding grounds are unlike any other event in MOTA's circuit and the club took advantage of laying out very nice sections (off-camber, side hills, river-beds) "old school" style. With the high gas prices the two day event is nice. Now, I just have to talk my knee into it. Can we arrive Friday evening with trailers?

Did Biff spend enough to make it profitable? What is the report from Dan?

Just to remind everyone 3D club event this coming weekend at Thunder Ridge MX park,in South Edmeston,NY.I have been busy setting up 9 sections to challenge all class levels.Pits are all mowed so come on out and camp and make a weekend of it.Lets hope the weather is good and we have a good turnout.JR

If you didn't know about this you probably aren't ready to go. If you are going, please post. Be interesting to meet some folks from here there. We're heading down Friday and get in late Friday night. Hope there is room in the parking lot as we are pulling a long load. I CAN"T wait! Had such a blast last year.

Hereis a link to a video from this past weekends trial in AZ.

With much disappointment I must announce that our (third) EnduorCross originally scheduled for Aug 23rd 2008 has been cancelled. This event originally was planned to run on Saturday Aug 23, 2008 in Rose City, MI. as part of a three race series. Two of three races have been cancelled due to low rider turnout at prior events. Our first try in 2007 resulted a great time but at serous financial cost to the club. Our second try on June 7, 2008 (run in conjunction with our AMA D-14 Gare Scrambles race on June 8, 2008) was a bit better but still had very low rider sign up's. Our cost of insurance and other items is too high to continue on this path in 2008. WE are hoping to ma…

The Donner Day 2 Saga is up on my web for those that like Vintage stories and a nice picture of TC regular "Swooshdave" in action www.blackvintagetrials.com Tony

Hosted by one Kary Krahel with assistance from Mr. Jay Lael. Now I never really got a definition of "vintage" but I assume it's going to be basically a Twinshock event. I'm not sure if Jay is going to bring the Sherdaka out or not. Maybe just to demo it. It will be interesting to see what kind of bikes get dragged out from the corners of the garages.

For those following the AHRMA saga full report of Day 1 is on my blog with pictures; www.blackcatvintagetrials.com Tony
