Bring on the SEASON!!! i am stoked. Hey i have not been paying any attention. The release form that i had noterized, blood drawn for, sealed in a circoficus, then sent out to ama.... Do i need to get anything done before your event Sam? --Biff Thought I should make the huge leap and go for an extreme challenge of my riding abilities this year. Hey Sam, I kinda have not sent that annual release form thingy yet My AMA membership is current. Will I still be able to ride. Maybe just sign more papers at the event to cover the realease form?
March 28, 200818 yr You're fine if your AMA is current. The notarized release is now optional this year for the competition membership and not required like last year, I renewed mine without it. It is however suggested that those with minors get it for their minors because as Sam said, without it they'll either need both parents present at the event to sign or a signed and notarized waiver from the parent or parents not in attendance. From the MOTA rulebook, "Section 6. Section 6. No rider under the legal age of majority in the state or province in which the meet takes place may compete without the written consent (signature on liability releases and entry forms) of his/her parents or legal guardians present at the meet. An authorized adult acting on behalf of the parents or legal guardians must provide a notarized statement indicating they have been given the authority by the parent or legal guardian to be responsible for the minor during the meet." I know it's a pain but I guess the AMA has had some lawsuit problems with a child getting hurt and the other parent filing suit because they did not approve of the activity.
March 28, 200818 yr Author Thanks Brockway. Eases my mind a bit, but there goes my excuse to not ride.
March 28, 200818 yr You guys are making me jealous- I won't be there. I sure wish that work would not get in the way of having fun. Once spring is over then I can get a (fun) life again. Can't wait to hear how it goes. Post some pics and links...ok? The vintage idea is great Sam... I'm even more bummed now- I'd like to drag out the cota.
March 29, 200818 yr I know it's a pain but I guess the AMA has had some lawsuit problems with a child getting hurt and the other parent filing suit because they did not approve of the activity. Brockaway, OH yea the book that i should have read.... DOH! Zippy, Dont let the mrs know that her prior consent is required and if she wants to sue tell her to sue me. Im broke so no harm no foul there.... Kjax, Dont tell zippy yet but my plans have changed as of about 10 mins ago. Were riding over at Kutchey's tomorrow. Come on and hang! --Biff
March 31, 200818 yr Kjax, Dont tell zippy yet but my plans have changed as of about 10 mins ago. Were riding over at Kutchey's tomorrow. Come on and hang! --Biff I just read your e-mail this morning- I guess you guys have already finished..... Thanks for the invite! No matter, as I have a garage full of half assembled (or unassembled) bikes and the Sherco is one of em. Still going thru the stable getting ready for the season. I thought a few of the guys were heaed to TN for the training days? KA
March 31, 200818 yr Sections are done and the loop looks fun! The frost has left the ground and actually dried out immensely. We will run 10 sections a day 4 loops, awards are fun and unique. Weather looks good, 50's and a chance of rain, no problem! So far I have people possibly attending who have contacted me from, Windsor, Ontario Wisconsin Illinois Ohio Georgia and of course, Indiana and Michigan. I'm expecting at least 50 riders, but I imagine will exceed 70! Any questions please ask! sam
March 31, 200818 yr Sounds great Sam! Will you have concessions? Just wondering for planning purposes.
March 31, 200818 yr No Concession. But we have a couple campfires weather permitting. Nappanee is 15 min away, many choices for food. WARNING: Do not pet the black and white looking cats, they are abundant this year and stinky!
March 31, 200818 yr Author Hey Gaby BOUT TIME YOU CHIMED IN!!! Hiya looking forward to the season? Sam, Sounds like good conditions, good sections, many riders. This should be a great way to start the season.
March 31, 200818 yr Several people from Northern Indiana who rode in the 70's are coming out to watch, One person said it will be like a reunion of trials riders!
April 1, 200818 yr Sam, is it cool to ride your property on Friday? Any practice zones around? - or should we just hit your car? ... Milford Trials Team
April 1, 200818 yr You are more than welcomed to ride on Friday, I actually have several people arriving to practice and check out the area. sam
