Hey Steve, The above quote came from the same man who 'BANNED" me from the ATA forum that he moderates because I told him to kiss my ass. Of course this was years ago this United States Constitution must be something new! Hey Andy KISS MY ASS!!!! Now I'm going to go to a movie theater and yell FIRE! Then I'm going to jump on a plane and yell Bomb!! Actually it's 3:00am and I think I should go get some sleep.

Just watched the Bourne Ultimatum and the motorcycle used in the chase scene is non other than a copy of my own Montesa 4RT. There were a few very nice advanced tricks done including a nose turn and a 5 foot wall climb. I had to slow-mo the movie to determine the bike due to the fake tank molded over the stock one. Very cool!!!!

Wow! Whomever the icedude is sure got under somebody's skin. I wish I could visit more often just too stir it up a bit. Like Spud said, this forum tends to get a bit bland.

Name it "Hershey Highway" and you'll have Citytrials there for sure!

Yes Craig I know it's a 6 round series but remember You shot off your mouth in Vegas and said that you would bring your trials bike there next year and show me how to ride. Therefore I am accepting your challenge IN LAS VEGAS, IN FEBRUARY. The thousand dollar challenge makes it real.

Icenuts, thanks, I think. I've obviously been gone way too long. Do I know you??? Have you seen me ride/...uh I mean, CRASH?

Hey SteveO, I sort of retired and bought a speed/performance/4X4 shop so now I work more than I've ever worked in my life. I usually don't even answer my cell phone durring the day so taking time out to play around on the computer is no longer an option. Nonetheless, I couldn't let Craig run his mouth without making him put up or shut up. So far I'm only hearing crickets and I'm pretty sure even they would make it around the endurocross course faster than that old man.

The time has come! Cityboy trials has gone and shot off his mouth again and now there is no recourse other than to put money where mouth is. Craig, in all his infinite wisdom, has called me out. He has actually challenged me to my face saying that he will beat me next year at Endurocross. Who is going to be the bookie on this one??? Craig, I've got $1000 that says I will finish ahead of you. That's right, one thousand United States dollars. Everyone out there that knows me, knows that I do what I say so it's time to show the money otherwise I will graciously accept your appology......again..... and we'll move on.

I hear RJ was back in his 'Old School' form. How about it Ronnie James Dio???

I miss you guys too! Therapy has been swell. I'm on step 11 and almost ready to go home but I keep getting hung up.

Tucker Ranch Oldar Rules the Rockies By Tim Holm Cotopaxi, Colorado, May 26 , 27, 2007 Factory Sherco rider, Andrew Oldar, took the points lead with strong performances at rounds one and two of the first ever 125cc US National Trials Series held high up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. On Saturday, round one of the new 10 round series, Oldar rode a smart, consistent trial to finish second overall to the more flamboyant, some would say wild, riding style of Team Gas Gas rider Colton Haaker. Team Beta up and comer, Ron Commo, rounded out the podium with a solid third overall performance. These three riders separated themselves by over 20 points from the rest of the field. They were all there to win, and it was apparent this was going to be a long hard battle for the championship. As evening set in there was an eerie quiet in the pits and the riders hit the sack early to insure they would be rested and ready for what was sure to be an intense competition at day break for round two. With bikes prepped to perfection and poker faces intact, Oldar, Haaker, and Commo took off on their first loop. All three were overflowing with confidence and ready to challenge the treacherous terrain of the Rocky Mountains. The opening round jitters were gone. A crisp fresh breeze was in the air as the three athletes hit section one with total commitment. Oldar: clean. Commo: two. Haaker: three. It was "game on". All the cards were on the table. It was going to be a long, testing day of concentration and endurance as these three warriors battled each other in an effort to control their emotions and their machines. At the end of loop one, they were only three points apart. Commo was up one over Oldar, and Oldar was up two over Haaker; 23, 24, and 26 points respectively. All three were grinding with 100 percent effort going into each one of the 12 sections. Loop two: same song, same dance, only this time around it was Oldar with a slight two point advantage over Commo; 23 to 25. Haaker repeated his loop one score with another strong 26 point loop. The pressure was unbelievable going into the third loop. They were only five points apart with one loop, twelve sections to go. Oldar cleaned section one again, but so did Commo. Haaker slipped and got a five. Section two proved to be the pivotal point of the trial. With a steep sandy off camber hill covered with loose rocks as an approach to a launch rock, the riders needed to maintain momentum, hit the kicker, and jump an uphill gap to a large bolder just wide enough for their back tire to land on. Once they got on the big bolder they needed to hold pressure and drop down five feet off the other side. Endos in this section were plentiful. Haaker regrouped nicely here only dropping two points. Commo scored a five. Now it was Oldar's turn. Oldar entered the section. As he approached the launch rock, he hesitated, loosing his line and his momentum. Miraculously he maintained his balance. Revving his 125 wide open, he started slipping the clutch and inching his way up the nasty hill towards the launch rock. The sound was deafening. It looked like it would be too little, too late, as Oldar only had about three feet to go, and still not enough speed! Suddenly, with determination bursting from his pours and his engine screaming, Oldar let go of the clutch. His Sherco started violently roosting sand and rocks in all directions when at last the spinning tire reached the kicker rock and catapulted rider and bike up and completely over the next bolder! Down into the dirt gully he flew. Spectators were blown away as Oldar gathered himself, feet still on the pegs, and finished the section with a clean. Riding a wave of confidence, Oldar went on to clean an astonishing six out of the next seven sections. He finished the loop with just eleven points and took first place for the day. Commo finished second place on the day, eighteen points back of Oldar. Haaker finished third, one point behind Commo. Oldar left Colorado with the series momentum and the points lead.

I've never been banned or had a topic deleted or locked. HEY ANDY, WHAT THE **** AM I DOING WRONG?

Then again I could be Craig's bitch for a day but I still wont take pics of Heidi dragging you around with that leash.

Of course I never had the nerve to get close enough to take any real pictures at a world round....well except that time that Ishy had me arrested for getting so close that Adam Raga rode his tire over my arm while I was filming underneath him.

Now that's a first! Obviously it didn't ENTER or you might've ended up in traction.

Now that's some funny sh*t right thar, I don't care who yar.

Hey Dan, Is it too soon to order my press pass?

Mr. Isherwood steps up to lay down the gauntlet once again. Now here's an example of a man with a life of trials experience, has ridden events that the hairless beaver would not even pretend to enter, yet he is so humble that 99.3% of the people that read this board would never know. First of all I

Hey Copenhagen, You BLOW! I have an excuse, I'm amidst closing escrow on an auto performance shop that I'm going to add motorcycles accesories to so that I can suffer a slow painful death just like every other motorcycle shop out there. I just popped on for the first time in about three weeks, just in time to get your love note. I'm back to work but I'll be back here soon when I have time to properly respond to your insignificant ramblings. Good Lord, anyone can sit there and type in "you suck". Why don't you get a little creative, like Jay, and put some actual thought into your post. If you're going to dis someone do it properly you yellow bellied, white trash living, dumpster diving, wishing you had enough money to pay the parking meter while you take other people's clothes out of the laundry so you can wash your sh(t for free, posing as a girl scout selling empty cookie boxes to little old ladies and snatching their social security checks from their purse while their head is turned to look at your feble attempt to distract them by having your boyfriend scream rape across the street.

Ishy, You're still my hero!!!

You spent the prior evening [or month in Charlie's place] prepping your bike and loading the trailer. You've now been on the road for an hour when you, your wife or one of your 2.5 kids remembers that you forgot to put Jr's helmet in the trailer. You pull into a breakfast stop at McDonalds and notice the motorsports shop across the street so you run in and find everything you ever thought you would need for the weekend. What else did you forget?????

Now you've done it. You've been signed up for over three years queity watching the radical going ons in this forum until now? Gentlemen, note that that this man has opened himself up to ridicule, sarcasm, debacle and defilation from the lot of you after being quiet for over three years. And for what?? Just read the last line of his post and I believe that is all that needs to be said. Welcome in Rich!!!

At one point a few years back I had a similar issue wherein I wanted to know exactly what the NATC did and what they stood for. I researched it and found out this FACT. THE NATC WAS FORMED FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF CREATING A NATIONAL SCHEDULE THAT CONSISTS OF 10 ROUNDS OF COMPETITION FOR AMERICA'S TRIALS RIDERS TO RIDE. Their mission statement clearly states that they are not attempting to do anything but that. They have done exactly what they were formed to do and they do that very well every year. For someone to say that this has anything to do with how the USA TDN team fairs overseas is ludicrous. Every rider in the USA has the opportunity to compete [even dumbasses who are stupid enough to think they will get championship points for simply signing up] and the best riders [who are available] the USA has to offer get to go and compete. It's their own individual talent that determines how they will fair. If anything the NATC should be praised for putting together a series that allows the field to compete and compare the talent to be chosen to represent the USA. Anyone who decided to bash the NATC or whatever you want to call it is exactly like the guy who yells at the baseball coach for coaching a certain way when that person does not offer to coach or even be an assistant coach.

Craig, I just had knee surgery so I wouldn't have been able to ride therefore as much as I would've like to come out and visit with you, I just couldn't justify spending the extra 50 cents for fuel it would've cost me.
