There’s been a lot of cool history in American Observed Trials since the
series was officially hatched by the North American Trials Council in 1972.
That first championship, held in Michigan, was won by Jerry Young. In the
47 years since the championship started, there have only been 12 different
champions. With the current suspension of events due to the COVID Virus,
we will be looking back at some of these champions and the their stories.
For this series, we’ll be talking to a few champions and asking them to talk
about five key wins that either defined their careers or were key in their
ultimate success.
First up is 1984, 1985 and 1986 Champ Scott Head.
