zippy Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) MOTA (Michigan-Ontario Trials Association) next event is being put on by the Bent Fenders club May 3rd. Bent Fender trials info. The club property is a bit on the small side, but this makes it VERY spectator Friendly. We also try our best to utilize what land we have to make a loop that reduces lines.

biffsgasgas Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Just as an add on here with some sneek previews. 1 new section across the creek. (dont fall in the sink hole!) 1 new teeter totter Of course mud but shouldnt be any logs in it this time (can you not touch the ground? Thats the test!) I have improved the ramp section for the experts. (spectacular jumps are fun) Should be a fun event. Zippy I wont be there this weekend. Something has come up and you will see it more about that here soon. --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstgear Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Sink Holes, Mud, Teeter Totter, Ramps and spectacular jumps? Man you guys know how to sell an event. I'm sure it will be fun. Thanks ahead of time for the work involved and we will see you on Sunday! So it sounds like it might be a good idea to add some blue RTV to your ignition covers!

biffsgasgas Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 So it sounds like it might be a good idea to add some blue RTV to your ignition covers! It might be best... The weather looks good for the weekend. I don't want to mislead here so the experts will have logs in the mud. To the rider who finds my flip flop that i lost in there last year will come a free cleaning of a bike after the event... --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope everyone has an awesome event @ Bent Fenders, it's a small, but nice property!!! Have fun!!! Zippy, you're well enough to walk, build sections and check yet?

zippy Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 FanticMatze Posted Yesterday, 04:27 PMZippy, you're well enough to walk, build sections and check yet? I am walking very well now, still need to see the Doc for follow up appointment....So I have not been given the "All Clear" yet. I will be able to be an observer.........All I do is sit on my in a chair all day and watch people ride. Not so sure about "Building" anything yet......I can put up ribbon and markers, on flat ground anyway. (don't want to try climbing hills yet) But life is good............Should be back to riding soon, (soon is subjective and dependent on when the Mrs. will allow me ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstgear Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for the event guys. Everything was easily rideable for the top guys and the rest of us could get thru it all as well. I seemed to have aquired 30 lbs of mud on my bike somehow?? You gonna want that back?? Riding cloths have to hit the hose before they are allowed in the house I am told. I think the Beta needs a mud flap hanging down or something? the day made the beer taste better also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widrace Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Sure was fun checking yesterday and enjoyed seeing a lot of really good rides. Nobody had a better day than Deb Boardman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffsgasgas Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Poor Sam was the only one in my section who went down in the swamp! He was one of the last ones through and just motocrossed his way into the thing. Got to the first birtch log and went down. The bike stayed above but he fell in that nasty stuff. Poor guy. I am glad every one had fun. We are thinking about putting on a lower class school. Beg, Nov and intermediate. More to come on that as we lay out a circulium and a plan. I loved the log jump! Made me feel like a star and i wasnt even competing. --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaby Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Great event guys. First time back on the bike in a long while. Had a blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Don Posted Yesterday, 10:13 PM You got my bike dirty............... I am quite certain I know where most of the dirty I mean mud came from.....................Section One that just did not want to dry out and got worse as the day went on. That section had many many many 3's in all classes, I don't think anyone actually liked that section but everyone thought it was a challenge, and nobody threatened to hurt me so was a good day for me the Observer. I did have one Gentleman go for a swim in the mud, front tire went into a hole and he just laid over into the watery muck, and he just started Laughing. It was well worth it for me to stand and sit out there all day and watch everyone ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasgasmi Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Boy, you guys are making it hard on us for the next event.... first Sam does a great event in Indiana and a repeat at Bent Fenders. Deb was sooooo excited to place in INT for the first time. Matt had a ball with that EXP jump Biff. Hope Metro can pull off as good a deal as we've had so far. Thanks for all your hard work guys, it was big time fun (even if #1 was a swamp). Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
