    Take your pick: No funding, injured top riders, threats from FJM because they didin't win last year, a dog ate their riding gear, fear of seeing Gernhart or Dabster there or both.

    You're doing fine. You cared enough to put up a post. I wonder why more Americans don't seem to care enough about our TdN team to wish them Good Luck or to say Good Job after they put up their best result ever.

    It was their 4th time riding the A line. Good job by all. Best finish ever! Thanks to all who contributed to the effort. Well done.

    how many entries?

    Propose a reasonable solution to your problem in writing. Get it to your NATC rep ( at least 30 days before the October meeting) and it will get discussed.

    Good point. It could be a stepping stone for future National riders to see what its all about. I don't see any negative in it unless they start to clog up the trail. Maybe some NATC guidelines on how to be a good minder, trail manners, might be needed to instruct the newbies. In Golf everyone is entitled to a caddy, not just the good players. They paid their entry and have just as much right to be there as anyone. ....and if the PROS ARE WORRIED about being slowed by them on the trail then maybe they shouldn't WASTE 1+ hour Dicking Around at the first section!

    Trials has gone through peaks and valleys before. Manufacturers have come and gone, Trials has grown and shrunk. Its all part of the cycle.

    Supporting the US TdN TEAM is the best thing we can do. The team has been doing great. I'm gonna buy a T shirt right now. God knows my wardrobe could use it. How 'bout Gas Gas sending over Jordi Tarres for a week to train our young riders at the TTC Youth Camp /Nationals? The US market ain't gonna Bust Open as long as the US/ Euro is at $1.40 and bikes cost $8-$9K and the economy is weak. But that shouldn't stop us. I am not sure what you mean by "Pat has outgrown us"

    Leave it to Gernhart to call all the good people at the TTC PIMPS !

    The JJ Cobas had: disc brakes when all others still had drums could be fitted with a Montesa, Bultaco or Ossa engine monoshock when the other were just thinking about it single backbone frame when all others had cradle type frames jackshaft final chain drive to eliminate torque on the rear suspension only 9 or 10 were ever built they were good enough to win the Spanish Championship Antonio Cobas was one of the great MC designers of all time. Honda GP team, Montesa frame designer, made his own 250 GP bike

    No euro trials company has ever supplied a legal spark arrestor on one of their bikes.

    Its a fair question.

    These women deserve the same respect the we would demand for our mother, sisters or daughters.
