Maybe your browser has cached that document that says results will be posted soon. Is that what you are getting? Try this broken URL and then click the link that comes up. Maybe that will work for you... http://www.natctrials.org/results/09_rnd2_all.p

Jim, the links are working...On the NATC site and the one above.

Looks like someone got the word and fixed the link on the NATC website...

I've been looking for the results all friggin' day. I decided to poke around with the URL and whoever uploaded the .pdf added a second one with a Capital "R" in the URL. I guess the server added it as another document instead of replacing the one that says "Results will be uploaded...blah blah blah. To whoever uploads for NATC, check your links after the upload!

Great job guys getting everything set-up. The event seemed to run very smooth. Not an easy task considering two separate clubs riding with somewhat different class structures and skill levels. 100+ riders and still got done in 4.5 hours. Thanks Sam! Results can be viewed HERE!

Biff, Sam, I want to thank you guys for however you communicated the online signup to your riders. It is awesome seeing this many riders signed up and ready to go. Hopefully everything will go smooth on Saturday morning. I will be taking online signups offline on Friday morning so I can pack up everything and head up there on Friday evening. If anyone else plans on riding this event, please go ahead and signup before then. Thanks, Phil.

No worries on changing classes and such at the event. The main purpose for the pre-signup was to have all your data in the database beforehand. Otherwise the signup person has to type in all the information you just did that morning. It really creates a logjam when there are a lot of new riders to have to type in that information. Once its all in, everything is a snap. Please spread the word so we can get everyone in the database. Thanks, Phil.

Sam / Biff, I threw together this signup page for MOTA riders to use to signup for the New Paris event. Please do your best to have everyone you think will show up use this signup page. It will help tremendously on Saturday morning if we have this done. Let me know if you need anything else from me. CLICK HERE for MOTA signup Thanks, Phil.

Sam, I got a bulk email out to the TI members last night. I think you'll get a great turnout for this event. I'll be bringing the TI scoring computer with me so hopefully it will make signup a little more automated. Do you think you could get many MOTA riders to email me their info so I could pre-register them and at least have their scorecards printed before the event? I could give you the parameters of information I need. It would definitely help the signup girls because the quickness of computerized signup flies out the door when they have to enter a bunch of new riders. Let me know and I could post the parameters I need on here or email them to you. Also, I see you have spoken about class conversions between MOTA & TI. Please be very clear before anyone rides what line EVERYONE should be riding. I guess you are easing up on the MOTA classes, because I heard all TI riders rode down a class last year. This is the only thing I see as a problem and it concerns me because I hate manually adjusting series points... Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Phil.

Hey Ryan, I was at the Sooner Cup last year. They had the lower classes all ride like a normal event in the morning, then the Pros rode in the afternoon. The Pros started at section 1 and everyone rode it then they moved on to section 2 and so on. They took a short break between loops. This format was really good for the spectators and for people filming because everyone stayed together the whole time. Not sure if the riders liked it becuase they really didn't have the freedom to break away from the pack if they wanted... I guess they just plan on testing this format at the TTC Nationals.

I added a couple of pictures of Pat's bike graphics on his Bio Page on the Trials World Fund website. They look great!

"Ray P. cannot sandbag forever!" I don't think Ray is sandbagging at all. What is he supposed to do? quit the sport? He is an adult and has a job. Is he supposed to risk his life and limb on the Pro obstacles just because people think he is sandbagging? If he went into one of the age bracket classes, he would win that too. He is a great rider that for whatever reason doesn't want to ride the Pro class. I don't blame him. Not that he is too old or capable, but is the reward worth the risk for him? He would be the only one to answer that question and I think he already has by riding the expert class. I think all the Pro riders stepped it up this year. Will Ibsen really turned the corner and soaked up all the information he could to improve. I saw him punch some risky sections early in the year and concentrate on the basics which moved him up the ladder to fourth place overall. Cody Webb was "all over" Patrick and Chris all year and a couple of bobbles here and there cost him dearly. He will retain this information and apply it next year. Chris Florin is a great rider and great for the sport. His interviews during the "On The Pegs" talk show are very in-depth which lets the listener know what the riders are going through. Maybe the long break and the change in terrain on the West Coast was a factor. Hopefully, this year will motivate him even more to train for next year. Patrick was simply a force. After his dominating performance in the first round, he showed he was human and could be beat. His constant riding and competing in Europe definitely helped. It was good to see a mix of riders on the podium throughout the year. Next year should be a good one. Anyone have any predictions on who will ride for what manufacturer next year? ...or will everything stay the same.

I think that guys name is Andrew Blane.

"RYP has used "interesting" tactics before!" Would you like to elaborate on this a bit? I don't think Cody needs any rider to flop for him to win. He has been riding great and working hard to achieve a win in this highly competitive class. To say it was a team tactic to
