Hey all you Trials Gals out there! We will be holding a class just for you. The dates are November 26-27, which is the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving. So go eat some turkey then come on over to work it all off! The class will be two days and the cost is $100. (Bring your own bike; rentals not available.)
The class will start at 9 am Central time and end around 3 pm each day. There will be a one-hour lunch break at noon, so make sure to bring something to eat. Our instructors will be Charlie Roberts and Peggy Harrison, with the possibility of more.
We will have cabins and RV sites available, as well as camping spots open. Check out our accommodations page.
So bring your trials bike and come on. Hope to see all you ladies soon! To register, Contact Us.
Andrew Oldar alerted me to a new video he just put together.
It features clips of the some of the best youth trials riders in the USA practicing (and crashing) at the TTC earlier this summer at the invitation-only American Trials Teen Camp. Among those featured:
Karl Davis, Jr. Daniel Blane-Gonnet Seth Gray Chase Harker Nathan Hassler Homer Hensley Andrew Oldar Bryan Roper Josh Roper
Among them: left, Andrew Oldar and right, Eric Storz, now the stars of the Young Guns DVD available from Ryan Young Products. The catalog blurb reads:
Watch in dismay as the young teens, Andrew Oldar and Eric Storz, known as the YOUNG GUNS, thrill you with their uncanny riding ability as they hone their riding skills on their way to becoming two of the top PRO riders in the sport of Observed Trials.
Both these riders have already won Championships in their young careers but now they have their sights set on the big time. Filmed all around the USA, you will see not only these two outstanding riders, but also many of the top riders in Trials today. Watch them as they ride up huge walls and perfect their splatter technique on huge obstacles. Included in the Bonus Footage is the 2008 USA Indoor national, 2008 Tennessee FIM World round, and much more.
See Andrew’s and Eric’s recent YouTube videos below.
We received an email from David Naismith (AKA MrOlddave) from the New England Trials Association (NETA) alerting us to this YouTube video of instructor Ray Peters working with an unidentified student during this year’s Trials Training Days. The log-crossing instruction is taking place in the TTC’s practice pit. The video shows 3 attempts by the student (he almost makes it on the 3rd attempt), and two demonstrations by Ray.
We have another video of Ray demonstrating riding over these logs in the How to Ride Trials section of our site. It’s titled Using the Skidpan.
Dan Brown captured Ryan Young teaching section strategy in a rocky section yesterday, both for intermediate and advanced riders. I’ve added it to the TTC YouTube Channel.
Ryan’s latest DVD is Advanced Trials Training Techniques and he has a trailer video on the order page for it. (You can see in this screenshot that parts of the DVD were filmed at the TTC. That’s the TTC lodge in the background.)
Ryan and other instructors will be on hand during the TTD weekend to work with riders on these same advanced techniques.
