If you don't want to pay the price for the Michelin go straight to IRC don't waste your time with dunlop. The pro's run them because they are sponsored not because they are the best tire out there.

Why not just make one six day event in the midwest.

So you don't think they are professional? Maybe they are called pros because they are the best in the U.S. Maybe they are called pros for the professional way they conduct themselves. Maybe they are called pros because one or maybe two of them make a side living from riding pro. I don't know for sure, but by all means if it bothers you please tell us what you want them to be called.

The primary motivation for this series (and we are hopeful for other similar regional series) is to provide funds for our U.S. Trials des Nations effort. A portion of the proceeds of at least $5 per rider will be donated to the U.S. TDN team Are you offering any support are to the clubs who will be setting the events and contributing the $5 to the TDN?

If the motiviation is money for TDN why not get a few corporate sponsors. What support are you offering the clubs for setting up the regionals? What about those who aren't AMA? Terry

That pic of Raga is Awesome! Nice shot.

I'm not sure of the format. Check that link out or go into Lane's world and you can find out. I don't think Nick was an invited rider like Geoff Aaron or Knight or John Dowd though.

Full face helmet for trials? Promoters of Xgames are pushing for full face helmets for bike stunt and street freestyle or whatever they call it. They interviewed one of the riders with no front teeth and a huge scar on his chin and he is now sporting a full face unit. My .02.

I don't know about a two day. When we have events that far south we generally only have 6-8 riders show up. We have had the majority of our events in Marion, IL at Little Egypt off road club. They hold vintage events, national hare scrambles and so on. It is a great place to ride. Our website is www.mita-trials.com. Terry

Hensley, the MITA has had two events in Belle, Mo this year. I know you and your boys have been there before. How far are you from there and from Park Hills, Mo. We'd love to have you guys anytime. Terry

With Nick putting together a spectacular showing at the endurocross does this open the door to another version of trials racing? I am betting next year there will be a few more trials bikes at the endurocross.

The event organizers do not want it in the US this year. You can make up your own reason why. It's either money or they just don't want to come, too far, not enough amenities. TTC put on an awesome event this year too bad it won't be back next year, but maybe next time. Maybe it would help if the US had contenders. Just my .02.

ClarkP will everyone in the afternoonl ride the same loop and sections? Cost to ride and camp? What is the time limit for the three loops? How many mile loop? I am really wanting to ride this. I checked your website and didn't see too much info on this event. Terry

Yes Clark the Scottish format is what I was thinking about in my first post. That sounds like an awesome time.
