USA Trials Reviews & Previews

Mota riders! Well I have been thinking (ut oh) and thinking and thinking about the Bentfenders trials. We have laid out a couple of sections. We have ridden the poo out of them. We tweeked we consulted. We tweeked some more. We ran out of tape. We used some other tape. We mowed. Then we went out and rode some more. We are looking forward to a fun event. Experts, bring a fresh tire if possible. Hills like you have not seen in michigan. Twist and go. Biff cleaned them you should too. Advance We know some of you are new we know some are returning. Zippy made sure you are all going to have fun. we both want to clear the log section but a 1 is very respectable. Sportsman…

A couple quick videos from our 3rd Annual Thanksgiving Night Trials. All in attendance seemed to have a good time once again. Its a different perspective on trials to say the least! Nothing like trying to figure out how deep the water is in the creek at each crossing with your headlight. Sometimes a little Faith is in order. Looking forward to next year. Aaron Sorry about the quality, but I was asked to post them anyway.

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

After a bit of a chat with kjax, I've created this forum. It's basically identical to the one that exists in the UK Trials area and does what it says on the tin. It can be used for calendars, event previews, after-event thoughts etc. I've also created one for Canada.

Two Day event with an informal trials school available on Saturday. Sunday has 20 modern sections, suggested two loops, keep score if you want. There are also 20 vintage sections set up. You can ride all the sections some of the sections, the choice is up to the rider. Modern rest rooms, camping, trials, old bikes, new bikes, young riders, old riders just cool! Contact Mike Komer at the Tryals shop for more info before he leaves for the trials.

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.

So all of that snow is gone! If it isn't well thats good too because we have a place for you!!! You should get some inspiration. Get off your couch! Get on your bike! More importantly get out there and compete. For the past five or so years some of the best clubs in the upper mid west have been riding together. MOTA and Trials Inc have been combining one event into both of their series. Its very common to have over 100 riders each of the two days. Now I know that those of you in Europe scoff at that but in America its a bit of a home comming that we all enjoy. This weekend in Ligioneer Indiana will be the first and second MOTA event along with the fourth and fifth Trial…
