When I was a kid I did some "hot shoeing" around a half mile dirt
track on a *modified Bultaco 250 Pursang, But this is my favorite
'racing" that is, if you want to call it that.

I mean *how slow can you go? I never ever was very good at it, But I
know some guys that were amazing!

Back in my day, they had trials events but nothing like that! Back
then it was just in the woods, over downfall trees, etc.- Hide quoted text -

I know. This is remarkable, isn't it? yes, I remember the day with the
logs, and creek beds. If you could balance on a bike more than 20
seconds you were a king dog. *Malcolm Smith was one of the greatest
trials riders of the 60's and he would stand in awe of these guys.- Hide quoted text -

Yep, it's been taken to a new level, that's for sure! As with most
things! When I raced snowmobiles, it was all oval racing, except for
when we fooled around as a group in the woods. Now they motocross the
things! Of course the snowmobiles of the early to mid 70's wouldn't
have standed up to that abuse!
