Ravvhide Trials By Ronald Szilagyi EL lORE, CAL.,JULY 29 Imagine a steep mountainside, strewn with boulders and rock out-cropings, difficult enough for a man to walk around; and then picture a trials Master ·working a band polished motorcycle up .over and through without putting his foot down. This is trials, as demonstrated by Marland Whaley in his first place in the Master class. Second, one point behind Marland, was Berme Schrieber..Trials is not a race. Racing involves a fast start and staying out front. This is not so in trials; the rider is entered in a form of competition which involves strictly himself and his individual performance on a motorcycle. Martin Bdair was soaking his feet when he said, "I completed the last two loops in one bour and fifteen minu tes." the first two loops took him two bours and 45 minutes. Tbe heat was overpowering. I even saw one motocross rider cooling his Honda in a mud puddle, by splashing the muddy water over the engine. Each loop was five miles long. The Novice class had two loops, the Amateurs had three, the Experts also three, and the Masters four. The Novice and Beginners had eight sections, and the Amateurs seven. Both of these classes covered the same ground. There was a good assortment of roc Its, and rock.. ravines, good ups and downs, entries and exits, a hiU climb with lots of switcb backes,. and good useful terrain between sections. A happy note for Dicit Gleason, he rode his last event as a Amateur, he won his event and transfered to Expert. Steve Graham, an Expert, received three more transfer points in his class win. This gives !iteve 7 points toward the 20 points required to 'transfer to Master. This makes two wins in a row for Steve. Th e kids certainly tried hard, problems wi th sbut off gas valves even plague the kids. In the less than !OOcc, D. Bernard (Bul taco) won the B Division. The Division A, !OOcc and over class, was won by Kirk Grissom on his Steens.
