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

Well it seems some of our bloggers were unable to see the Wednesday post for some reason – not sure why !! Just hope you all manage to click on today. Make sure you have the correct “Outlaw” – If you were one of those people shoot us an email, because we might have posted a pic of you in that blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Answer to the last quiz – Thierry Michaud – former 3 time World Champ and winner of the Scottish more than once, now he heads up the FIM – correctly guessed by – Pete Varey, Brett Clark and Steve O’Rorke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quiz today – guess who?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a really nice visit with Todd Nordin yesterday, it’s been quite a few years since we last saw him – his lad Tanner was at the Outlaw Trial last weekend, and I got him to give his Dad a reminder to stop by. – Todd has just got himself another Trials bike after quite a spell – ( courtesy Tanner ) – what a nice surprise for him, so we hope to get out for a “Putt” sometime. – We chatted about the history of the Outlaw event – of a time when Todd won both the vintage and the next day modern.- But we also chatted about the way the sport has changed, with most Trials held on short courses, with usually a lot of man-made obstacles. – my view is that obviously, I would like to see the long loop English style events, still being held. But I also understand that we have to move with the times and make the best of what we have – especially when it comes to having people to set events up. – the Ross Rathbone event last weekend was a perfect example of putting on a first class trials weekend, at a limited area with man-made sections. The bottom line is that we think everybody enjoyed it and will be back next year, for the 41st OUTLAW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

While we sometimes gulp at the price of the new Trials bikes – check out this sales Tag on an ATV unit in Nelson – Yes we still have likely one of the cheapest sports on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The Outlaw Trial was not the only big event happening at the Rathbone Property last weekend – they had this cute foal born just hours before everybody arrived for the Trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
