ron Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Ron III is planning on Euro Practice and possibly some WCT 125 events end of next summer.. he is riding a special 125 RCS BETA , with some trick Beta Factory Mods.. He just turned 15 last week I believe he is the youngest of the TOP CROP of Americans coming to WCT near you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Check the rules before you buy tickets as at 15 he is too young for WTC, there are however 2 euro rounds he could do which will be "enough" for him I guess, 28th August Hobol Norway and2 october Turin in Italy. Apart from that i guess he could do the A & B champs here in Britain. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has plans of working with James , and the Top Trial Team, as well as running to Spain with James D. to have a go at TONI's Practice area..

nigel dabster Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 My mistake, didn't think that you could be that well prepared! Sme thing applies though wait till he is 16, I am checking the rules. NB he can still ride the euro rounds at youth level so that might be worth a look as this last italian round was preceeded by a euro the week before. Assumes James Dabill will be top trial next year of course................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) I am hoping James will continue with Beta he is a very polite and talented young man . Whom I enjoyed working with here in the USA Rounds.. My son liked him too.. On Ron III he will be 16 by next July .. Thats why we are looking ahead to next year.. As for the euro rounds.. well If we ride and do well (as americans ) no one would know as we cannot get any credit for riding them as we are not European.. How daft we must be to be pushed away from the sport yet we plan on coming to europe anyway... In the usa championship any world / european rider would be welcomed with open arms not pushed away like second class citizens.. careful nige your on a nerve here with the euro championships! The FIM wants to grow the sport yet .......well lets say I think all of the youngsters in the USA have a Legitimate chance to be competitive in the world in 3 years or so we may actually see more than 20 riders at WCT ..... Now that would be growth.. When I rode WCT in the late 80's there were 50+ riders and you were damn proud to be in the top 25.. now you gotta beat 2or 3 guys to score points.. I hope the sport will grow.. FIM take a look at the EU series and allow foreign riders to be recognized for thier accomplishments don't push them away!!!!

nigel dabster Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 You can ride the euro rounds no problem, but cannot score points in the championships but as you wont be doing all rounds I would just use it as good experience, it is very much that.
