I've been fortunate to ride with and get to know the US OSET sales director. I bought the little 12.5R for the grandkids for Christmas. My grand daughter has two younger brothers (the 2nd in line, 2 yrs old a nut for anything with wheels), so I figure it's a solid investment. I'll eventually move her up to a 16 and 20 (and then a gasser) and pass down the smaller ones to the grandsons. I hope they'll enjoy riding as much as I do. Trials is a way to get them going at a much younger age.

Good job Mark, you are doing a great set up for practice. Keep the good work! How do you like the Evo 300 / 4 st?

Thanks. Love the EVO 4T. Very smooth, plenty of launch torque, and surprising light for a 4T. Also like that it is very quite - I can do things out on the driveway, and no one hears a thing.

Had a chance to put together a rock garden today, and move some rocks around to new configurations to try out. Look like I'm also going to be able to get 3 days of 1on1 training next week in Tennessee, followed by a couple of days of Michigan single track the following weekend. Wearing out my truck. Life's good!

Grandkids playing out at the property tonight. Granted, photo ops were staged . . .

Too cute! Love the lavender Gaerne trials boots.

Had been eyeing two large loader tires at a used tire shop that had closed down. After 4 months of driving by these tires, I finally saw the owner there this past week, so scored them for my playground.

great training right in your own backyard.
