Well I thought someone should start talking about how great an event and exhibition this was besides the wind Cody put on an exceptional show and really rode smooth on his new 4 stroke

Congrat's guy's on an excellent trials. I really liked the long, open, challenging sections. You really had to have a good ride to clean them, but nothing too difficult. All in all a real enjoyable day. Thanks again for a quality event. - Don PS All day long I kept thinking it's not raining and it's not 95*F with 95% humidity, am I really at a Great Lakes event ???

A new video from a trial last week in AZ. We actually had some mud and water.

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…

the 2009 AHRMA season opener kicks off at AZ Cycle Park with a 2 Day event on 7/8 Feb. Get the snow off the trailer and start planning. Friday night has the Off Road Banquet with the 2008 Awards and then 2 days of trialing with 10-12 sections a day. If you haven't been before its mainly sand with some good climbs including the "Graded Hill" and there may be a bit of mud as well. Plenty of flat parking for big rigs on a good hard surface. Tony

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.

A quick post from Sante Fe, New Mexico on the way back home from the Ute Cup. It was, in a word, great! They have gone back to the old format. Intermediate/Advanced level sections so the Trial is geared for the average Intermediate rider, long loop (22 miles on Saturday, close to that Sunday) and ride the same sections twice (two loops each day). 20 sections on Saturday and I think 16 on Sunday. I probably had 20+ riders tell me how much fun they were having. More to come later....must....sleep.....now.......... Cheers. Jon
