Photo album: 2010 UMTA awards banquet

Griff Wigley — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 12:44:47 +0000

An overflow crowd showed up for the 2010 UMTA awards banquet last Saturday.

Retiring club president Gordy Boggie and club treasurer Vickie Boggie got a standing ovation for their years of service. New club president Ryan Schmidt took over.

My new camera is taking me a while to get used to. Apologies for the crappy quality of some of the photos.

For the last event of the 2010 season, I took the day off from riding and spent it taking photos of the riders. I finally got around to sorting through the 400 photos, deleting most and cropping many.

Some fun sequences:

Reid Anderson goes for it on the big sand hill and fails.

Jim Anderson milks a dab for all it’s worth. His wife is not impressed.

Gordy Boggie starts strong, dabs, crashes upside down, cries about it.

NATC: new MotoTrial website and blog; also on Facebook and Twitter

Griff Wigley — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 04:06:00 +0000

The North American Trials Council (NATC), home of the NATC/AMA US National MotoTrial Championship Series and the US Trial des Nations Team, has a new site with a new name:

MotoTrial.us

The old domain names for the NATC and US TdN will be redirected and eventually discontinued.

Head honcho Brian Behling is now blogging and is ramping up with both NATC MotoTrials on Facebook and NATC MotoTrials on Twitter.

Full disclosure: the NATC contracted with my firm, Wigley and Associates, to help them with this.
