There are several good answers discussed here but the above explains it best. I hate to admit many Americans cant handle gradual improvement. It has to be super fast or they are ready to throw it away and try something else. even if it means repeating their same old mistakes again
Seems like 4 out of 6 would have been better making all rounds of equal importance The way it is you have to make tennesee if injury death in family work issues whatever you can skip texas you can skip penn but you will be in tennesee of you will not win and if you do skip one of the first 2 you will ride all 3 at tennesee wore out or not or you will not win.
I was looking back at last year Luke Gray was first in the novice class and jumped 2 classes to first in intermediate in just 11 months and on a 80 at that. Homer, Josh and Seth better not slack off
Congrats Luke
results are up

Good point Chris
Watching the young 7 yr old Roper boy tagging along with him and Pat minding for him at the Youth Nationals shows a fine quality you wont find in a lot of champions.
Yes it would be nice to have an american rider in the wtc butIt would also be nice for a world round to come back to the US. The regulations make it where we probably wont see one for some time.
IMO a line easy enough that even i could even ride. However from what ive been told upper intermediate and senior expert riders are signing up for it because they cant win in the support class. Sand Baggers everywhere you go. Personally Ive found battling to not finish last is just as fun or maybe more fun than battling for first.
Anyone know how sign up went for Oklahoma?? how many? what classes?
I dont think you could every get it to happen The sponsers of the Endurocross series wont even let a trials bike in the main. They would hate to sponsor the series and some spectator buy a trials bike afterward.
We have a local Endurocross being held in SW Missouri next month they have determined no trials bikes in the money class The reasons were just because and because the series doesn't allow it. The real reason is probably because none of the local sponsors sell trials bikes.
Just curious hi have a friend thinking of buying a 83 240 Are any parts available in u>S. also is it legal for twin shock at natc nationals where does it fit in other vintage events?
What about central US were out this year the west was out last year. Attendence drops every year. This year without TTC may be the fewest ever We have young riders that would be sitting at the top of the Expert class or entering Pro that sat out all year last year because they cant afford to travel
Sounds like an excellent idea if you had to ride 2 of the 3 you would have 1 local and 1 event halfway across US to ride. What about the 3 day format from a couple years ago?
This years attendence may force some changes. Last year some very good riders stayed home. Im not sure what the goal is but if its create an atmosphere where only a few that can afford to trace back and forth across the U.S. and spend most of the Summer can win a trophy and not grow the sport any so there will be more trophies in the years to come. Then this schedule is perfect for them.
On a more positive note there are some very good local and regional 2 days and attendence should be up because of those who forgo the nationals.
