July 3, 200521 yr USA Youth National Round One is in the books, any results for this championship event?
July 3, 200521 yr Results from Day 1 are posted on the TTC website, along with many photos from the competition and the summer camp during the week. Dan www.trialstrainingcenter.com
July 3, 200521 yr By the way, the Open class was TOUGH! The lines were set with several sections at about the level of Expert or ES for a national. Will Ibsen was clear winner with 10 pts on the day (amazing score!), Danny Allen had about 40, Ronnie Commo was around 60. There were 8 riders in the open class, but they all said they like it tough. The lines for the 13-14 year olds are about like the National support lines, and 12 and under kids are easier. Everybody is doing great! Day 1 was a bit slippery with several difficult sections in the rocky streambed and a couple of hillclimb sections that rode pretty easy. Day 2 is on the limestone ledges and hillside and will be very different terrain from day 1. dan www.trialstrainingcenter.com
July 3, 200521 yr Author The defending National Champion didn't ride open class? Louise Forsley? What's up with that?
July 3, 200521 yr Trial is just finished as of 2:30 CDT. Will get results up a little bit later. To answer your question, Louise is too old for youth anymore, as it is for 15 & under as of Jan. 1. Louise rode open class in the Women's Open, but has no competition there. She had a scary crash today on the last lap, as a thunderstorm caught out the late riders about 1/2 way around the 4th loop. When the rainstorm hit, a couple of the sections got so slick that they were nearly impossible. Louise hit her chin on a rock and probably needs a couple of stitches, but she is a tough gal. I think she punched 5's on the last 4 sections and Will's mom took her to the doctor. dan brown www.trialstrainingcenter.com
July 3, 200521 yr Author Thanks for the update Dan, not to be premature, but I would guess the lil crew cut kid took top honors.
July 3, 200521 yr One hopes the TTC publicise their results a little better when they hold a world round
July 3, 200521 yr Author You bet it will, I'll be there! Dan, if you don't have the time, I can put the results on the frontpage. Edited July 3, 200521 yr by City Trials
July 3, 200521 yr Day 2 is updated on the home page blog at www.trialstrainingcenter.com dan p.s., We'll get complete results up soon. When we do a world round we will demand that Andy post results and photos immediately and withhold beer if necessary until his work is done. And if Craig will post results on the front page I'm all for it.
July 4, 200521 yr So what is the date on the world round? I want to get my plane tickets and rooms booked right away.
July 6, 200521 yr All the final results are now posted at: http://trialstrainingcenter.com/YouthWomenResultsOverall.pdf dan Edited July 6, 200521 yr by dbrown
July 6, 200521 yr Speed Channel covered the proceedings for 2-Wheel Tuesday. Look for a story coming soon on the Youth Nationals, and another story at another date on the American Trials Training Camp for the teenagers. dan
July 6, 200521 yr Just because you have access to the news publication system, it doesn't mean you have to use it. I appreciate people are busy and don't always have time. I want your news so anything you guys have got - either fire it over to Craig who does a great job in keeping us posted on US news or fire it direct to us at website AT trialscentral.com (which will probably get fired straight back to Craig for publication as our sort of unnoffical US correspondent).
