YEAR IN REVIEW
2019 US MOTOTRIALS SERIES
The 2019 US National MotoTrials Series is in the books and by all accounts
is was a successful year. Numbers were up and the Pro class featured a
strong number of riders. The 2019 season featured an eigth-round, four-
weekend series, based through the summer, and New Mexico’s Sam Fastle
was kind enough to give us a wrapup of the season.
The 2019 AMA/NATC Trial Store USA nationals involved some different traveling
then what I have done in years past. In past summers, I would take many weeks
to travel across the country with the RYP USA team to attend all the nationals.
This year, with a 6-month-old son and 6-year-old daughter, I could not be away
from my family for weeks at a time. I was also completing my final internship for
my Bachelor of Science Mechanical Engineering degree with RYP and needed to
be at work for the days in between the nationals to complete my undergraduate
experience. These two factors meant that I would spend more time traveling as I
hustled to and from the nationals making sure I didn’t miss too much at home.
