Looks like PITS property in 1974ish Woodside CA, then Holester CA, then somewhere back east. Recognized the great Marlin Whaley, then Lan Levit, Bernie Shriver. Very fune time for all involved as we all had just discovered the new awesome sport of Observed Trials and many of us lived for it!

The first part was west of Ft Worth, TX. Other parts were Bastrop, Tx and north of San Antonio. In the back and white I’m the first and last rider.

@@mlhamm5527 Funny how similar CA & WA can be terrain wise. Thanks so much for posting. I was riding trials in WA 1974 and 75 forward in CA. I was in junior high so these guys were my hero's. So sad when I heard Marlin died. I watched a national at Goldbar WA in 74 and he road twice as fast on uphill bolder sections-so exciting to watch with his works Honda. He was in another class from the others that day!

Lane Levit rode for the Plonkers Trials Association as an Expert rider, my father Jerome Wiencek was president of the club. My dad bought me a Bultaco Sherpa T 350cc at 13yo from an Expert rider who rode it in Two National events.

Great bunch of pictures. Love seeing these old bikes in action. I didn't ride then, but do now. Very few riders wearing helmets back then. Are we wiser now or just older and more cautious?? Thanks.

Thanks, Trials bikes are very slow, so we chose not to wear them, not the wises move. If you rode in a state meet you had too. I'm in there twice in the black and white photos. I'm on a Yamaha 175.

@@mlhamm5527 Yes, I get that. I didn't ride then, but I ride AHRMA trials now. I have used my helmet more than I care to mention. Thanks again for the great video. Videos sure have progress since then, too.
