Quiz today – Guess who?

======================================

We saw this post on FB by Ricky Styles – which I thought was very good.

Trials motorcycle competition in Naramata April 19 and 20th come check I’ll be spectating. This is one of biggest passions ever and I’ll be hopping back on the pegs soon. Come and see one of the coolest sports on 2 wheels and what it’s all about. Kinda like golf on a motorcycle, keep the feet up and stay between the blue and red ribbons until your out of the section the so not to gain points. 5 is a failure and 0 is perfect(clean) each time the rider touches their foot to the ground(dabbing)they get a 1 point penalty up to 3 points or dabs once and if they get to 3 point penalty the rider can then dab as many times as they need to get to the exit of the section and stay at 3. If the riders goes outside of the section as in if one of the wheels goes over and outside the red or blue ribbon =5, stalling the bike with foot on the ground they get=5 falling off the bike with handle bar grip touching ground=5 rolling backwards at least half a tire rotation with foot down =5. Typical trials will have around 15 sections layed out throughout the forest on rocks, logs and uphill and downhill sections. Riders usually must complete 2 or 3 laps of these sections. Lowest score wins!

So if your in the Okanagan area come check out the action. See riders ride up giant rock walls and balance their way through the sections. Always nice to go for a hike or walk through the forest. The views out above Naramata are spectacular and worth it!

See you there. 😃
