Schreiber tops
Valentine Trial
LUCERNE. CA, FEB. 14
While he was in town for a few
weeks to teach his trials school,
Bernie Schreiber made an appearance at the A.T.A. Plonkers
Trials Club's first eveD! of 1987.
Mounted on the 1987 Fantic 30 I Progress2 Monshock, Schreiber decimated
the Expert ranks as expeCled. An
unexpeCled surprise was the second
place ride of a relative newcomer,
expert Tom Hamann of San Diego.
Hamann lOok control of second place
early in the day, and fought off the
tenacious efforts of Honda-mounted
John Robertson to capture the runner-up position. It was only July of
1985 that Hamann won the Novice
class at El Trial DeEspana, making
his progress through the ranks even
more impressive.
Schreiber commented that the trial
was relatively easy, and that American promoters mustlOughen up sections if U.S. riders are to develop
the skills necessary 10 compete on the
European fronl.
After the event, Schreiber put on a
truly awesome display of trick riding,
utilizing air turns, bunny hops, and
Boaters that left the audience with
dropped jaws. Schreiber culminated
his mini-exhibition ~ith a jump off
of a 15 foot-high rock, down onto the
flat ground. His only comment was,
"It's kinda hard on the wrists!"
A big crowd of 84 riders took on the
challenging 10 sections laid out by
trials organizer Bruce De Haven and
Butch Chappelle. This was the first
time that the Johnson Valley area
had been used for an observed trial.
But judging by the Wrnlm:e. And those d}UU whogetto}OOrdealerin

SIartthis season off with a feat most riders only
dream about. Set EddieLawson spinning.
