April 7, 201016 yr Got a copy on my bedside table. Probably re-read a chapter about once a month. Always learn something. Alan
April 8, 201016 yr Author No its not for sale! But will post some more pic from it. Edited April 8, 201016 yr by 76TY175
April 9, 201016 yr Author Some more pic's. Just love these old shots. As you can see I'm still new at this scan and posting thing. Best an old dog can do at this time.
April 9, 201016 yr Author Tried to get both pic's in one post could not figure that out but I'm working on it.
April 9, 201016 yr I have Don Smith's book "Ride It" and Bernie's book, no better way to understand where trials came from in the 60's and 70's and early 80's. I still refer to both books today. cheers
April 11, 201016 yr My wife got me the book for christmas last year, its probly the best gift Ive ever got. I read it word for word, and even though trials has changed, I use some of the practice tips still.
April 11, 201016 yr Look at page 46. Bernie's is bunny hoping 14 people on a Bultaco SherpaT. Remarkable. I would like to see one of todays' top riders attempt that. Edited April 11, 201016 yr by Martin Belair
April 11, 201016 yr Look at page 46. Bernie's is bunny hoping 14 people on a Bultaco SherpaT. Remarkable. I would like to see one of todays' top riders do attempt that. Funny that Martin, I used to able to bunny hop over a 5 litre can standing on it's end. Can't do that on a modern bike. Maybe the suspension has changed. Maybe I'm just a plonker.

Martin, when I was a member of the AZ club (CAT) in the early 70's was it you and one other Montesa team members that came over and did a school for us? I know how impressed we were, the majority of us were very new to Trials. Anyway I looked for a pic of you in the book, but could only find the NATC Champ results for 1974. Sorry for the bad copy. Team California was leading the way. After I posted this I found some old snap shots for the school. Its was conducted in Tucson. Edited April 13, 201016 yr by 76TY175
