Quiz today. Guess who ?
======================================
Yesterday, I watched the latest edition of the Trial Tube tape on You Tube – and believe it or not, I watched the whole segment – BUT I did not have the sound on – just read the captions. –
At least this tape was better than a lot, and covered a number of subjects quite well, ie: The Highland Classic Trial, and the issues related to World Trials. – The subject of having a paid team of Observers for all the events, the same team for the whole series, split between various Countries. – ( Something that I mentioned a long time ago)
Remember when they had the “Claiming rule” in MX stateside? it was because the factories always had super light prototype bikes much superior to what a customer could buy at a dealership. – That was good for the sport, and perhaps this might have been a good idea for World Trials, – it would have put Toni on a stock bike, and yes he would likely still have won, but it might have leveled the playing field.
===========================================.
We have not seen anything on the Ioco Fun Trial yet – maybe somebody can email us with info.?
===========================================
The stage is set for the upcoming Duff “N” Dabs Trial at the Julie/ Martin – property near Celista – Medals have been ordered, and the sections all pretty much done. – This is always a very popular weekend in the Shuswap, and one we recommend. – ( Yes that poster shows Stan on a Beta 200 Evo)
========================================
And a reminder that things are still really dry out in the bush – a new fire near Sooke on Vancouver Island is causing concern.
