Trimbelle Fun-Day and Gate Trial, June 13 - Free!

A non-sanctioned, non-points event is planned for this Sunday, June 13 at the Trimbelle/Redman Ranch location.

It’s free for UMTA club members and their families. Food and pop (AKA soda!) will be provided.

The fun starts at 10 am with a gate trial starting at 12:30 pm. Trialsmaster: Bear.

What’s a gate trial? Typically, each section is marked with a number of gates, each having a point value. The object is to complete as many gates as you can, sometimes within in a one-minute time limit, accumulating points as you go. But you only keep the points if you clean all of the gates you attempt. One dab and you get a zero for that section. High score wins. Riders can be on teams.

Variations of gate trials:

What gate trial format will Bear use? Show up and you’ll see!
