Tim Thorp is looking to see if theres interest in a trials school. I, and other here took Tims class last year and it was great. This is from Tim below...

Guys,

I was asked many times this year if I was going to offer a trials school. After some consideration, I sent an email today to a bunch of trials riders to see if there was sufficient interest to make offering one worthwhile. Someone suggested posting the same question here.

Basically, I am open to offering a school...if there is sufficient interest.

If you are interested, let me know here, or via a Private Message, or by sending a message directly to my email ID which is NETA160@HOTMAIL.COM.

If the numbers look good, I will get back to those who responded.

Cost of the school would be $75 for either day or $125 for both days.

I can confirm this is a great instructional class for beginners and novice. Tim mixes in a fun, family type environment that make everyone feel at ease. Well worth the cost!

Can I borrow/rent a bike to try this?

Are there any dealers that provide a demo day event that could possibly be combined?
