heritagerover Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hey guys. I am completely new to trials and have wanted one since I was 13. I am now almost 29 and finally purchased my first trials bike. I would like to get together with some MN or WI guys to practice riding. I live near Duluth, MN. I have tons of land and many natural obstacles and objects on my property and would love for someone or a group of people to come out here and show me how to ride this thing. I have secured large scale tires ( mining production truck tires- I plan to burry a few half in the ground) and pallets for some other obstacles. I have some equipment to dig and move things around too. I have been practicing for 2 days and need someone else to challenge me. Let me know if you are interested. My email is scott@heritagelandrover.com Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copemech Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 There is a club up there somewhere. Lets see if someone can chime in with contact info. Other than papa Smage, not many hang on here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreilly Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I would think with 2 world rounds up there you should be able to find some of the club members around you.I no Bear is from up that way and Steve A. and there are others have fun.Jr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny042 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) Contact the Upper Midwest Trials Assn http://www.umta.org great group of guys. Aw shucks...... well, yes we are great guys. He looked us up through our website and we're trading emails (UMTA is "local" to me even though I am Canada it's only a 5 hour drive to most events for me!) - Scott, you can see, it's a small world, everyone knows everyone else. It's a great community that way. Many of the USA guys and gals "hang out" at the trials forums at ADVRIDER and Thumpertalk (more so than here, even) so it's worth a check. One of those forums even has a thread on backyard practice areas but it sound like you might have even better terrain! Talk to you soon, Jon Edited May 13, 2012 by jonny042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny042 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Yeah I was thinking that too but we need to get him hooked first!! PS - Scott, we will be riding/setting sections at the OHV park in Gilbert through the month of July, so I will be sure to let you know when. In the meantime check the schedule there is a one-day event in July in Theilman, MN. Edited June 5, 2012 by jonny042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
