Quiz for today - What was the new Trials technique that Bernie introduced????
=========================================>
Throughout our Trials journey in Western Canada, we have visited a lot of different places, promoting the sport, first around 1971 - when I started in Alberta, followed by showing off the new TY 250 when I joined Yamaha - putting on demos in far away places like Dawson Creek BC and Saskatoon etc - then later after moving to the Okanagan we helped with Trials in Grand Forks- and Midway plus other neat places to ride with local Trials riders, - Here is a pic from one trip we did to Midway, where Gord Walker lived and showed us some nice terrain right on the Canada/USA border - this is a pic from one of those days.
=======================================================>
Answer to the Saturday quiz - “Body English” - although in the UK this was called Body lean. - Pete Varey was in early as usual followed by Brett and Steve ORorke - also with the correct answer.

Before they changed the name to Enduro

This pic just showed up that Sammy took of me at Malakwa with his dog - the beam of sunshine quite spectacular
=============================================>
If you want see a good video of the Ladies TDN - click onto You-Tube - and watch the Estonian gal riding - only problem is we couldn’t understand the language, but still worth watching as it helps to see what our gals were up against in those sections.

Today I’m going riding - hope to take a few pics
