Weekend in Greeneville
Sunday I participated in my first trials event in Greeneville Tennessee. I have to say that I experienced a wide range of emotions. I think I started out excited but quickly turned to nervousness. I wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. After it was all said and done, I was glad it was over but if I wasn't so damn tired I think I would have wanted to ride again.
I have been a spectator at some ITSA events, but to ride an event with some of these guys really makes me realize how much fun it is and how much room I have for improvement. I made some dumb mistakes like missing parts of sections and starting in second gear to name a couple. Thanks to everyone who helped me along this weekend because I sure needed it.
Here's a few pictures I took before I ditched my camera. It's tough to ride your first trials event while taking pictures and keeping score.
Bruce navigating a ditch
I think Bob (above) changed his initial line in this section so he could come over and run over Bruce's toes.
This picture does this hill no Justice.
This hill was also nasty but again the picture ruined it.

Dude! I thought you did a great job, you finished and there was no bloodshed, at least none that I was made aware of.
You're right, The Guru did in fact alter his line to run over the Trials Rooster's foot, while still cleaning the section.
Isn't it unbelieveable the lengths the Captain will go to pick up a date?
Hey, I watched you ride a couple of sections. Stellar performance.
Thanks for the encouragement. I didn't make a HUGE ass out of myself (Saturday night excluded)and no, there was no bloodshed. Gotta do it again real soon.
