DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

This is great to read! Got the kiddo out on the new-to-him Oset 20 yesterday. He's sitting on it w/ feet held off the ground for now but can now go down the street, turn around in the circle and go back up the street w/o touching for the most part. Huge progress. He wore me out jogging behind/beside...

Pics don't work for me either.

Eh? I live there. Trails nearby?

Good to hear. I understand trials helmets are.a lot lighter than MX ones. Looks like 700-900g is the norm for trials. IIRC my Fly F2 for MX is over twice that.

I'm reading the MAVT rules. Says trial helmets must be 'motorcycle'. I noticed some trials helmets have no certifications at all like the Airoh sold @ RYP. So.... Does anyone really check? I don't like open helmets (have had lots of expensive dental/jaw surgery done in the past.) Plus, I'm ugly and ...

We got to ride it this weekend at a friend's farm. We all had a blast. Sorry for the sketchy pic :lol2: but this is apparently the only one we took w/ all the bikes. Thats ADVRider ClutchDumpinDan next to Austin. Boom Boom's old '06 in the middle. Thanks a ton for all his help getting a newbie into ...

A little muddy? :) I came by a little late w/ the kid. The paths down to spectate were soup. His patience wore thin in the rain and cold so we didn't stay long.

My coworker Greg and I rode both of my dual sports in the Shenandoah 500 last weekend. The KTM had no problem doing 60mph on the road stages w/ tractor 13/45 gearing (15/45 stock). Greg said my DRZ running nearly stock 15/45 was really winding it out up there and he didn't want to go faster. I haven...

Thank you everyone for your input. I'm aware of OSET and Kuberg (thinking of getting one for the 8yr old - if I can talk mom into it.) Don't want to derail Ken's thread any farther than I have. I'm not at all plugged into the trials scene so still looking for info/clubs/locations to ride/etc. Might ...

I'm also looking at a used 16 EM Sport. Hope its ok to post here. Found the DAMN board while searching for info and I'm local too (Silver Spring near Burtonsville). I'm torn between electric and gas. I want a trials bike to learn how to ride a dirt bike better and keep up w/ my buddies who've been d...
