Section six presented riders with the ne xt big challenge. Two five-foot vertical ledges greeted riders at the entrance, and the sli my mud that covered each step didn't make thin gs an y easier. The exit was equally as tricky, as a long. vertical slick d irt embankment had riders sea rchi ng in vai n for traction. Once again, this section sh ut down most of the riders on lap one, with the excepti on of Peters and Moore. Riders were trea ted to a worl d-class section at the 11th stop, as the course was laid out the same as it had been for the '9 2 Wo rld Round . Ride rs were directed up four seem ingly impos sible waterfalls, and Aaron was the only rider to survive the section on lap one. But even with his three-point rid e in section 11, Aaron foun d himself trailing Young 19-20 after loop one. Home ride r Peters was close behind with 26, while Kempkes stayed in the hunt wi th 33. A si n g le point aga in se p a ra te d Young and Aaron after the second loop, as Young turned in a 10, besting Aaron's 11. Peters improved his score with a 17, but had effectively ended his chances of a top two-finish. It was on loop two that Kempkes was disqualified . 'The sections were good, but a little too slimy for my style," said Kempkes. "I got a flat in some sharp rocks, and after tha t - well, I guess you know what happened." Young con tinued to up the an te on the third and final lap by turning a low eight-point loo p card. Aaron actually falte red a bit , co mi ng home wi th 16. Peters d id likewise, dropping 21. Hall sted had his best loop of the day with 26, while Moore seemed to tire and had his worst - a 41. Unlike the previou s round, no riders inc urred tim e-p en al ty points and the overa ll fin ishes were cu t a nd dried . Young scored the win wi th 37, well better than Aaron 's 47. "I really appreciat e th e specta tor s and the people who are willing to help at the sections," said Young. " It really gives you something to ride for. The sections wer e just perfect for the power of my 350 Gas Gas. I was 'usually able to get traction when I needed it." "Ryan rode well today," said Aaron, ever gracious in defeat. "I should have done a little better, but I sti ll ha ve the best to look forward to. The upcoming Rhode Island Nationals should be my strongest of the year." Peters was pleased with his thirdplace performance, and looks to ha ve finally rega ined the form tha t earned his third-place rankings in '93 and '94. "I've had some trouble at the sta rt of this year, but hopefully I ha ve th ings so rted out," said Peters. Moore wa s ecstatic about equaling his career-best finish in fifth. "I felt really good tod ay ," he said . " My first loop wa s the bes t, and I ha d some really good rides in some hard sections . I still made some mistakes in the easier sections, though." 0 District 4 Trials Committee Watk ins Glen, New York Res ults: May 21, 1995 CHAMPIONSHIP, I. Ryan Young (G- G) 37 po in ts/ 28 dea ns; 2.
