The jury is still out on which classes they will compete in. I have mentioned (and they approve) that I would like them to be in seperate classes..ie. Jr, HS,...
I sold an 07 Sherco to a gent in Georgia. He has started it twice and rode in his drive but cant stand up due to pins in his left leg from an injury. He needs...

I haven't ever stayed at a hotel/motel during the Austin events. There are lots to choose from. Anyone have any experience on one that is close, decent and...
My favorite New rule for 07 says " The Amateur line must be built for the rider that is moving up from Novice and looking for a somewhat greater challenge. It...
I'm with you, I hope the new rule holds. I've already discovered that so far I can ride far better on my vintage than on the modern bike, but I don't feel...

Hi Les, We're trying to take this to heart for the round in Austin, hopefully, we'll pull it off. The hardest part of the Austin event for morning riders, at...
Yeah, but gate trials pushes you to ride conservatively and safely. Observed Trials encourages you to push yourself to improve on bigger stuff. the amateur...
Someday I'm going to put on a gate trial - but one with modified rules. Tommi Ahvala was telling me about a club in Europe that modified the gate trial concept...
I only have only completed one event as an amateur, but I think the fine folks that laid out the sections at Brett Cooper's last month did an excellent job. I...
But if you make the Amature lines too easy, then Kim and Chuck would not crash! ===================== From: Seth Avant <savant237@...> Date: 2007/01/17...
You All, Gate Trials opens the rider up to switching class as they ride... Master line in one section Expert in the next, etc. I am not talking about...

I would agree with your assessment of the amateur lines at Brett's trial. Alex rode them and she had a great time. She scored high, but only had one fall, and...
Chuck would ride better if he gave blood before he rode....

By the way..to speak specifically regarding the amateur line and it's possible need for softening: One thing I think to pay attention to are the larger...
Y'all can check out my blog and Rob's photo's of the last event (and four of the five Summer/Fall events) at: http://www.travelpod.com/members/trialsrider Seth...
OK Kimbles, since no one including yourself has committed to doing anything, and with all the talk of softening the AM lines, I AM OUT! Just hope the INT lines...
Well....... I was planing on riding the sr-am unless it is to wussafide, I personally like a challenge of a harder line but easing up the am lines is best for...
Way to go guys! Step up to the plate! Belley up to the bar! Get on the gernie!...er ....well.. maybe not that. Now Mark and Kim are talking like MEN!...
On similar note to the Trials Masters... the boys mention the need to have the Master class be a real Master line. The baptized Expert line has worked for the...
Just hoping the vintage trophies are nice... and everybody else rides modern so I can get one :-). Looking forward to seeing everybody in Austin!!! Gene...
Well, as the sole remaining member of Team Wuss, I'm pleased to hear that Cope and Kimbles may ride the new Senior Dickhead line in the afternoon. I can't...
