I remember that sport quite well from my motorcycle days of the 70's. I never did it, just dirt track and one motocross race. I came next to last. I beat the only girl in the competition. In the 70's it really was a girl. grin

I thought about that Trials sport in the past few years of Colorado ATV/Jeep trails we've been on.

My neighborhood in the 70’s, we had a dad had a pickup and trailer and would take the whole neighborhood, we would go behind the dam at lake Lewsville. Did that for years, eventually they closed it all down. I used take my 4x4 back there in the early 80’s, I would tie a rope on the back of my truck, a tube, and pull friends up the river it was a blast. Nothing like the good ol days.

Two past times in Idaho. Motorcycle trails and shooting rocks

Unique experience to be 8 miles and a big yamaga 450 go screaming past you

Started out with a Honda TL 125 went to a Yamaha TY 175 and my last bike was a Bultaco Sherpa T 350.

It's been a long time.

Friend of mine in the 70’s had a Honda TL 125. It was a wheelie machine.

He's the greatest of all time and it's not even close. He's won both the indoor and outdoor world titles every year since 07.

The TY 175 Was the wheelie machine, it was lighter and had more HP. You had to really stay over the handle bars to keep the front end from coming to see ya. The TY was by far my favorite.

The new riders have taken it to level we could have never imagined back then.

I had a Yamaha TY250 when I was a teenager. Torquey son of a gun. Had a lot of fun on that bike, but nothing like in the video.

It's been a long time.

Mine was a Suzuki TS185 with a Bassani Expansion Chamber on it. It could go places I didn't have the skill to follow.
