Below is evergreen Gary Nordstrom still enjoying his Trials.
Below, Paul Gronow trying hard – Paul used to come to our Outlaw events years ago ( like a lot of other west coast riders)

Jon English posted to say he had a really good time competing at the US trial last weekend – at 45 years old he is still on top of his game. – Not many enter their first World round at that age these days. – No word on whether he plans on doing another Scottish in 2026.
