UPDATED JANUARY 28, 2025

TRIALS

Q-135

NEW:  The rules of competition are intended only as a guide for the conduct of the sport so that we have uniform events across the country. In the event that the safety of individuals or property is compromised the rules can (and should) be contravened with notice to all riders. Each participant in competition has the responsibility to assess the safety aspects of facilities and conditions, and must assume the risk of competition.
