EL TRIAL DE ESPAÑA HISTORY

El Trial de España is the oldest and most prestigious Moto Trial in North America. Created by Fred Belair, the event has drawn international recognition and attracted the World's best trials riders for the past 50 years. Belair's dream was to provide a ladder for American riders to compete at the World Championship level. That hope was realized when American Bernie Schreiber became World Champion in 1979. To this day, Schreiber remains the only American to have reached the sport's pinnacle.

Since its inception in 1970, El Trial de España’s growth and reputation has helped generate funds necessary to send Americans to compete internationally. Support for the USA Trial des Nations Team has been the main focus of support since 1994. Trial des Nations is an international mototrial team competition held in Europe. Teams from 25 nations represent and defend their country's honor.

El Trial is a weekend of great competition in all classes, highlight being the afternoon’s world-class Pro Exhibition for the top level riders. Spectators flock to see these elite riders tackle spectacular sections that test not only their riding ability, but their courage as well.

Passion and love for the sport led Fred Belair to create this iconic event and that same passion is why El Trial de España continues to live on today.
