We Dyed the Website Green!

Oh yes we did.

In the spirit of the upcoming St. Patrick's day MotoTrial, we've gone and poured green dye all over our servers, thus producing this fine Irish-hued website! Meantime, get yourself out to Lucerne, or Santa Rosa, or your own back yard, and keep on trialin'. If you'd like a printable flier, click here, mate.

Free pot o' gold for the first rider to catch a leprechaun.

No Malarkey! Plonkers MotoTrial is on St. Patrick's Day!

The men in green are at it again! This year's Plonker trial lands on... Saint Patrick's Day! Plonker plans are being implemented; fantastically wonderful sections are being crafted on the Lucerne Valley rocks and blarney stones, and of course all the snakes have been driven out of the high desert loop!

Get your best green jersey, or better yet, go buy a new Ossa, and get ready to rumble!

I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends..

The Happiest Trial on Earth, at the magical trials area of Romoland, is one big team effort. I stood next to one awesome set of rocks, and let me say this now; those sections don't just build themselves! From the loop, to the the ribbon, and even sign-up, I've had a few key people step it up to get this thing organized.

First off, Pro Vet Motocrosser Kevin Barda has been out at Romo each and every weekend, helping to lovingly craft a single-track loop which runs all the way 'round the backside.

Mike Jenkins and Paul Oswald each put in their time on the rocks, taking the rockpiles from concept, to completed sections.

Bruce Davis, Scott Wenger and Chris Cullins? Those guys just took over and built a section, just because!

Tim and Loretta Holm helped 'Novice-Proof' the loop, to make sure everyone has a safe and fun day! And Colleen Wenger will be staffing the sign up table with my wife, Mary.

Anyhow, I am really looking forward to the trial, and hope you all get a chance to thank these tireless folks. And keep it Happy!

The Big Rig Issue

We get questions, and we have answers.
Questions such as; What do you mean by 'Romoland is not suitable for big rigs?' Well, the SCTA Research department has deployed its global team of roadway and traffic analysts, and the word has come down: 27' is a pretty big trailer, and has been attempted on the dirt road in. Results- Tow truck rescue required. Our recommendation is, anything bigger, and you just might not get up and over the bumps and twists.
If you've had success with something bigger, please tell us. What say you?
