===========================================<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below you will see the intro to the book by Don Smith – which I think sums up Trials very well, at least for me – Of course the thing that drives me crazy – is the Spanish always calling a Trial a “Race”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have always tried to promote trials as a family sport, in a way that the public or spectators can understand, and printed up programs for special events. – We started the Sammy Miller Trial in Alberta, which ran for quite a few years – but then I switched to racing Cross Country. – Later in BC the WTC event at Revelstoke was another great one – starting from the glacier Lodge it was a combination of an old style loop with easy access for spectators, via the fire road. – I should mention that in my opinion, regular club Trials are pretty boring for spectators -unless you understand the rules – perhaps that is why we now see all the Indoor events on You Tube – ( How do they do that?) – The fact that the Outlaw Trial at Summerland was so popular was I think because of the Family campfire scene and the long loop. We held it at Summerland for 25 years, after that Ross Rathbone took over at his Shuswap location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might recognize a lot of names – many of whom still compete locally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
