Observed Trials Tech

So what's this all about? It's about trials and making your trials bike perfom better. This blog is to share ideas and expose trials riders to technical improvements for both modern, vintage and twinshock machinery.

Two-Day Action


ITSA member WeaselD prepares his floating turn, off the small innocent unsuspecting tree, to help launch him over the first log in Sunday's expert section 10.


Larry B. and his mighty TL125 propel themselves up the bank while his trusty minders are jokingly saying, "Hope he makes it, 'cause we're not catching him!" If facial expressions are an indication the pucker factor was fairly high. But he made it on his own.


Slim Jim Sturtevant has both wheels airborne and is not resting on the bash plate. A very unusual condition for a twin-shock bike. Looking good Mark!

We all had fun and if you weren't, you should have been here.

The event format on Saturday was per AHRMA set-up rules, using split markers in the sections. On Sunday the format was per the ITSA (International Twin Shock Assoc.) format utilising no splits and sections designed for the specific classes. Most of us old guys like the ITSA format because with a bunch of splits we can't remember where we're supposed to go.....not to mention that you get to ride in groups with your friends.

The bar-b-q was great, the campfire was warm, the companionship was unsurpassed, and the trials was a flaming success! Damn we love this sport!

GET READY!



Well it's that time of year again! Trials time at the Ranch in Dickson Tn. on October 7th & 8th. The crew was out in force this past weekend deviously plotting and planning all manner of convoluted ideas for the sections.



Hey Guys where you putting that log.. Looks good...Put her down! Now that' going to be interesting to get around!




As we see here, the crew is moving the rubble to make the sections easier.....But what about that log? I guess everyone will just have to come see what they did with that!

The event flyer is HERE , there are driving instructions on there, along with event information. John will be on site with the famous Pig & Pie Bar-B-Q truck. He has killer breakfast sandwiches as well! There is a small gate fee, proceeds will go The Humane Society of Dickson County.

So come out and ride with us. Remember this event pays points for ITSA, AHRMA, MID-West and the STRA. We can promise you a great time with nice people and some challenging sections.
