After the success of Round 1, OMCC are back with Round 2 of development the development series aimed at getting OMCC members into more formal competition and give existing riders a chance to develop their skills further.
In a slight tweak, we are back to using Entryplace for entries:
https://entryplace.com.au/2024SummerSeriesRD2
For New riders:
There is no better place to learn trials than trying a to ride a section set by someone else. White arrows (T5) and Blue arrows (T4) are typically where most people start. It’s a great learning opportunity to know what you need to practice when you come to back to the club.
Buddies can be assigned to help with section reading, rules, and general competition orientation.
For Previously Non-Competitive Riders:
Without the formality and expense of getting a competitive license, come and try trials in a competitive format in the familiarity of the OMCC club grounds. It will be a good opportunity to see if competing is for you before having to commit to the expenses of a licence etc. Even if that doesn’t eventuate, most riders take away a lot of learnings from riding a in a section set by someone else so there often a win-win either way.
Buddies can be assigned to help with section reading, rules, and general competition orientation.
Competitive Riders:
You know already what this is about…come and ride when there are no typically scheduled trials for a bit of a laugh and fun in a very relaxed atmosphere. Feel free to push yourself and try a higher grade? Or bring out the Twinshocks for something different? Lets have some fun and keep things interesting!
Please understand however that the focus is to get new people competing so please be supportive to the newer riders.
