Cope, are you copacetic with Doug comin over?

Don't know what you mean by "distort" Tommi Ahvala, David Chavez, even Fred Crossett made our Pro class better and raised the level of riding. If our guys can't or won't go to Europe then having them come here is a good option. USA Motocross, Supercross, Road Racing and GNCC series all allow foreign riders and the series are better because of it. There is no benefit in isolating ourselves.

Bring over a Euro or Brit rider?

\cycle news story Good for Cody. American Beta will put together a good program to support him for EX and MotoTrials. Its different to see Gas Gas lose a rider. They are the ones who are always snatching riders from other teams. what so funny Cope?

the Yamaha 2T motor looks big but in reality is one of the lightest.

you can't ask for more than that. the opportunity to shape things the way you want. so what is it gonna be. a SoCal National?

It is not if "the right people are GIVEN the ability to put in work" It is if "The right people STEP UP and put in the work"

Sounds like a man volunteering to do some work!

Maybe you missed this Letter from Pat Smage Don't think he is going back to Europe.

Two Strokes are restricted in California. Off-road they are limited to certain areas and can only be used during a few months of the year. They were banned from any on-road use years ago.

Congrats to Cody and Kip for stepping it up. Great to see his hard work pay off. Must be a hard pill for Pat to swallow, but he will be back stronger and smarter. Also Team Sherco RYP deserves lots of credit for sponsoring Cody for all those years only to have Gas Gas snatch him away at the end.

Thank you Rocky and the RITC membership. One of the best clubs in America. Without the hard work of clubs like yours there would be no National Series. Good report by Shan HERE

Where did those numbers come from?

Results HERE Go Cody! Only 68 entries?!

here is a link to the Wyoming Trials Club

Did anyone send Cycle News a Press Release? All the top UK lads do PR.

Sounds like a good idea. The local dealer should be able to handle it.

and how much bike swapping and cheating goes on at the Scottish, Nigel ?

No word of it on the GasGas USA website. Seems like a big announcement like this should be seen there first. zzzzzzzzz Good luck to Cody. Gas Gas is lucky to have him.

Looks like a very nice one for sale here.

good answer

Why is everyone so down on Xispa for buying parts from cheap sources? Gas Gas has sourced its bearings from Russia, crankcase were made at the old cz factory, linkage didn't even have bearings !!! and no one complained. GasGas invented the low cost/low quality trials bike and people loved the bike!

I think the rule is written to allow a rider to roll out of a section in case his engine stalls and it is downhill to the exit. Back in the day your club must have had some slack checkers to allow a half bike length (2 feet) rollback before giving a five. Good Luck trying to push through a section at a National.
