Rider and spectator preview videos: Kenda Tennessee Knockout Extreme Enduro

Nathan Glinski rode large portions of the amateur course earlier this week on his Honda CRF230F, with a GoPro video camera attached to his helmet.

We’ve created two videos from his video footage: a 2-minute preview for spectators and an 11-minute preview for riders. Feel free to grab the embed code and post it wherever. You can also view the videos on the TTC Facebook page.

TTC Youth Camp/Youth Nationals veterans: ‘Young Guns’ DVD stars Andrew Oldar and Eric Storz

Andrew Oldar, 2005 Eric Storz, 2005 Looking at the Youth Nationals results as far back as 2005 (photo album here) you’ll see several names of riders who are now competing at highest levels of motorcycle trials in the US.

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:

Young Guns DVD 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.

And register now for the 2010 Family Youth Camp, the Youth Nationals (east), and the U.S. Women’s Open Championship.

 

 

Ray Peters and a student: crossing logs at Trials Training Days

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.

Videos: Trials Training Days 2010

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.

World Indoor begins; practice videos show the leaders, Bou and Cabestany

Montesa’s Toni Bou and Sherco’s Albert Cabestany finished 1st and 2nd respectively in last weekend’s opening of the Indoor Trial World Championship held in the UK. See the FIM story titled: Bou wins in Sheffield to begin his title defence.

Last Nov., T&E’s Darrell Shannon posted this YouTube video in the video section of the Trials and Enduro News Social Network. It’s unusual because of the slow motion.  It’s mainly of Albert Cabestany with a short clip of Toni Bou.

 

And in the forum section of the Trials and Enduro News Social Network, Darrell posted a link to this video of Toni Bou practicing at the Honda/Montesa factory playground (linked image below, not embedded video):

Two new videos on how to hop the front and rear wheels

The TTC’s Dan Brown captured some video of last weekend’s Trials Training Days.

I’ve added his two videos of instructor Ray Peters’ class on front and rear wheel hopping to the bottom of our new page on How-to-ride-trials tutorial: Hopping the front and rear wheels. (There are now 4 videos there.)

All the videos will be available in Flash this time, to make it easier to view them.  I’m experimenting with difference video services, eg, YouTube, Vimeo, etc. In the meantime, here’s a little clip of instructor Andrew Blane from last year’s Trials Training Days:
