sir hc
You have given me something to think about with a whole stage of representation at the ama awards that ought to give trials a little more representation. Im still going to think of the ttc event as the youth nationals not eastern youth nationals but maybe with a national round coupled (that is a great idea)with the western youth nationals attendance will be up. I would love to go but im afraid time and money will prohibit this year. If things turn out good next year it might be a different story.
im located near springfield mo if it works stop by on the way back here is a link to a blogspot i just created, has some pics of what there is to ride. http://swmissouriobservedtrials.blogspot.com/
Speaking of advantages while Homer has only a couple of old men (one of them a poor rider ,me) and one 28 year old brother to ride with, no other kids. he has 2000 acres( most of it belongs to neighbors) right out his back door to ride anytime he wants.
I hate to hear you are down to six riders Hope Leavitt makes it, and what about Sandavol both of them really add to homers class. Roper would also be in homers class ,is Arizona close enough to count him. Also i saw Bailey Tucker from Colorado ride at Oklahoma not sure how old he is he can really ride.
