May 23, 200422 yr Hi all, here's the latest items to watch for on TV, specifically 2-wheel Tuesday on Speed Channel. Hope you get it. Last Wednesday, May 19, Speed filmed a neat segment on trials riding by a group of roadracers including 1993 world motogp champ Kevin Schwantz and Formula USA and WERA champs Trey Batey and Michael Martin. After 2 days of instruction in roadracing at the Barber racetrack, the roadrace instructors came to the Trials Training Center to become students of trials riding. Those guys are good! Speed channel will have a really nice segment on an upcoming episode, probably on Tuesday, May 25. That segment will be a nice lead-in to their coverage of the World round from Duluth. Ed Coglin & crew will be there to do a good coverage of this event to air on 2-wheel Tuesday. Also, we had the Trials Training Center crew at the East Lake School on Friday, May 21 to do a demo on trials riding for all the kids, and this was covered by Speed for a future episode on 2-wheel Tuesday. Ray Peters, Bruce & Brent LeRiche, and youngster Alex Bedley all put on a great show and had several hundred elementary kids screaming their heads off for the TV cameras. Everybody who watches this will see how cool is trials riding! As we were taking stuff down & leaving, kids came up to me and said "you guys rock!" Anyways, we are keeping the pot on boil for TV coverage of trials, so set your VCR's! 2-wheel Tuesday airs each week (Tuesday, obviously) at 8PM EST and re-airs at midnight and again the next morning early. regards, Dan Brown www.trialstrainingcenter.com
May 23, 200422 yr Author p.s., that's Kevin Schwantz descending a rock with instruction by Ray Peters and producer Ed Coglin in the background. It was interesting to see all the roadrace guys pause and be a little intimidated by dropping off this rock. These guys drift a 200 HP road race bike through turns at 160mph and are intimidated by a little rock? Nah, actually they would pretty much try anything. by the way, Kevin is a long time trials rider from his days as a kid, although he hasn't ridden much in years.
