The results can be found under Results – 2009 Final Results on the navigation bar of this site. The final results and the points spreadsheet are available to everyone.

Congrats to all the riders this year. It has been a great season. We hope to see everyone again next year. Once confirmed details are available for the award banquet I will post it on the website.  Tentatively the awards will be in Grantville on January 30.

Please note: The final results include the final point standings with the throw away score taken out.

It has not been determined how many awards there will be this year. Rider participation was down this year in D6, which will result in a decrease in the number of year-end awards. It has not been determined how many awards there will be in each class.

JJ Gregorwicz riding section 11 at the last D6 trials.  The Hillsgrove, PA event will wrap up the 2009 District 6 season.

The results scoreboard with loop scores for the Hillsgrove event are below:

The new 2010 trials motorcycles are coming soon.  Here is a quick preview.  Click the more info link for more information about each model.  Click the picture for a closer look at each bike.

2010 Beta more info ||   2010 Sherco more info ||   2010 GasGas more info

The long awaited SherGas is due in 2010 also.  Well, not really, but someone from the Thumper Talk forums created an image of one.  It seems the consensus is that the 2010 Sherco and 2010 GasGas look an awful lot alike.  See for yourself.

Dave Diehl put together this flawless ride in section 10 at the Jersey Shore event.  He thought the section was so easy that he decided to throw in a freestyle “no footer” through the exit gate!

Pictures taken at sections 10, 11 and 12. 115 Pictures added.  The slide show should start automatically (if you have Flash installed on your computer).  If you have trouble viewing the photos click this link:  Photo Gallery

In the following video of Steve Krouse riding section 10 at Jersey Shore there is a sudden interaction with the ground.  The rider was awarded a “5” but he did not agree with the checker.  I have read the rules a couple of times and couldn’t find a rule that states if a handlebar touches the ground it is a “5”.  Which was the call by the checker based on the mud on his lever.

The score cannot be changed.  It did not affect the outcome of the trials event.  This is not a debate on whether or not the checker made the right call.

It does beg the question, what rule should be used to score this ride?   Lets see if the current rules posted on this site can be used to determine how to score the ride.  What do you think?
