This is a photo of Mick Andrews in 1974 at Blackfoot Park Calgary, where we had set up a demo day to promote the new Yamaha TY 250. - Mick rode this section both ways - no problem.

Sidecar Trials are still quite popular in the UK - here is UK TRS Importer Steve Saunders with his daughter Izzy in the chair.
quiz - Who are these three World Class riders checking out an Alberta section?
Answer to the Monday quiz - Kevin Couves - only Brett Clark and Harlow got it right
Below is the link to the very good video interview with Team Hemingway.
Another win for Tony Bou last weekend and more crashes at this indoor - ( see the big band-aid on Marcelli’s chin)
Came across this old pic from 1985 which has a bit of a story to it - I was involved with Kelowna Yamaha at that time, and had taken a nice YZ 125 in Trade on the Friday - then after a bit of “Fettling” rode it in the Danny Amor Memorial race at Bear Creek on the Sunday - This was the last Cross Country race that I rode in - and as you can see I won the very large Trophy presented by Danny’s Dad - Vern Amor. - Sadly I was not able to keep the Trophy and this was the only time that particular race was held.. - I sometimes wonder what ever happened to it after Vern passed on. I figured out that I would have been 49 years old at that time. ( Danny was a a good friend and top Expert who died young of cancer - maybe that is why I was “On a mission” that day)
