The gate trial is a fun format, for a play day event. Our club usually runs one or two of these a year, the day before an event. Personally, I think we need to stick with regular old trials and just make it fun for the average guy. Your novice/beginner line should be extremely easy. This class needs to be set for a guy who shows up on a trail bike, or someone with very little motorcycle experience. The loop should be very easy too. We are setting up club trials events not nationals or Ute cups. Setting a trials to please the mob is something very very hard to do. I kinda go off the theory that you can't please everyone, as long as the majority are happy, you did good! I have the hardest with the lower class sections. I haven't ridden a lower class trial since 1993, so its a little difficult. If I am in question, I error on the side of easy for these guys. I will also sometimes enlist the help of a lower class rider to look at my sections and offer advise. Like I said, the event has got to be enjoyable.

The whole "lead law" really hits home for me. I have a 4 year old son who just started riding. I hope I will be able to keep him on bikes as he grows out of them

I do know there is a huge interest in our little club here in Wyoming for them

Does anyone know, or have heard if Ossa's are going to be brought into the country? If yes, anyone know who is going to be bringing them in?
