Another one in the record books, as they say, and the points have been updated on the “Results” page…. we go into a fairly long “summer” break now, but some UMTA members will be headed to Ohio and Rhode Island for the NATC National rounds 5/6 and 7/8. Ben Winterer (who recently celebrated a birthday!) is hoping to clinch another national championship! He placed first in SR35 at the recent NATC rounds in CO and will hopefully continue his winning ways in Ohio! Go Ben!
Also of note is that former UMTA member Andrew Allen did very well in California and Colorado, with a WIN in Sportsman class on one day in Colorado. Way to go Andrew!!
Also present at the NATC in Colorado were yours truly, Eric M (another former UMTA’er) and Pat and Nate Hirt.
Here’s a neat picture from section 12, with Cody Webb shoing great form (but perhaps poor judgment – his rear wheel hit a marker 1/2 a second after the picture was taken, and he got a “5″….. which cost him a win. Thanks to Andrew Allen for the great shot.

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.

 UMTA Expert class rider Travis Johansen took photos at the end of the Mankato trial on Sunday.
(Travis has his own photography business named, you guessed it, Travis Johansen Photography, Wedding and Portrait Photographer.)
