Thank you so much for inviting me to come and organizing accommodations. It is heart-warming to know that you all still honor my results, although we have not seen each other for such a long time or never had the chance to meet. I value those Trials moments we have shared and I look forward to a memorable weekend together.

If you would like to see the best trials riders in the world up close and personal then your best opportunity will be May 25-26, 2013 at the Trials Training Center in Sequatchie, Tennessee, as the amazing spectacle of World Observed Trials returns to the United States with a two-day stop of the FIM World Trials Championship.
The Trials Training Center is the perfect venue for viewing a trials event because of its excellent amenities and because of the unbelievable natural terrain that will test the best trials riders in the world.
Among the athletes expected to be vying for honors at the U.S. round will be Six-Time World Champion Toni Bou, along with fellow Spaniard and former world champ Adam Raga, five-time U.S. Champ Patrick Smage, 2010 U.S. Champ Cody Webb, plus a bevy of top riders from all over the world.
For more information on the U.S. round of the FIM World Trials Championship visit www.trialstrainingcenter.com. —Shan Moore
New for 2013 is a 5th class called “Guest”. The Guest Class will allow for a greater number of American riders to participate in the Trial World Championship. This 5th class requires the rider to be on a 125cc bike (or larger, per request) and ride the green line. This will allow riders who are not looking for World Championship points to compete with their international peers.
So now if you would like to participate in the “Guest Class” You can send the FIM a request to ride larger than a 125 CC bike!

This video shows how the new “no – stop” riding will be done, the rules for observing appear to be very straightforward. It will be interesting to see how this riding style works out, as this appears to be the trend for future competition.
We encourage you all to watch this video, and become familiar with the scoring. We still have opportunities for observers and other volunteers this year, so please contact Gary Hoover at hooverg@bellsouth.net to get in the action!
