PICKERINGTON,

Racing/NATC Observed Trials National Championship Series, as
well as the dates for the Eastern and Western Youth

Riders vying for national titles in several age-, skill- and

riders will face off July 3-5 in Sequatchie, Tenn., while in
the West, youth titles will be decided on Aug. 8-10 in
Cotopaxi, Colo.
"The feats that these riders achieve on their
motorcycles, from scaling vertical cliffs to crossing
seemingly impassable rock gardens, will keep any fan coming
back for more," said AMA Off-Road Director Chuck Weir.
"Trials is one of the oldest forms of motorcycle sport,
and we're excited to begin another year in the storied
history of this incredible discipline."
