Michiana Mudfest 2010!

[sam]

Michiana Trials Riders hosted the first MOTA points event for the 2010 season. Mother Nature did not cooperate and we recieved over 3" of rain in 48 hours. Despite the weather the event was well attended with 70 riders on Saturday and 57 remaining to gut it out on Sunday. The most exciting attendees were the youth riders with 8 on Saturday and 9 on Sunday, none were lost in the heavy rains and humongous mudpuddles. Our hats go off to Scott DeBolt for helping organize and working the youth comp instead of preparing for his own Expert class battle.

Michiana muddy mishaps included, David "Biff" Knapp swinging in full riding gear into the deep end of the pond, the fish were of little assistance in getting him out. Robert Roosen had a wild ride when he touched his brakes and slid across the lawn ending up under Zippy's truck. Do to the weather campfires were a consistant wash out, thus evening festivities were kept to a minimum. Spite the foul weather everyone had a great and challenging time.

Amazing turnout for the Youth Class! This is the future of Trials and from what we saw there is going to be World Champion riding a Beta in the very near future. Youth Class Photos are located here.
