KAIROS WELCOMES NATC'S 2026 OPENING ROUND
The North American Trials Council (NATC) MotoTrials Championship, presented by Trial Store USA, is set to launch its 2026 season on April 18–19 at Kairos Wilderness Resort in Glen Lyn, Virginia. With a stacked Pro field, key rider changes, and updated event procedures, the opening round is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated starts to a season in recent memory.
A notable adjustment for 2026 comes in the form of revised event timing. The overall time limit has been shortened from seven hours to six and a half hours, while the additional 30-minute penalty window remains unchanged. Competitors are now required to head directly to section one immediately after picking up their loop card, and they will not be permitted to collect that card until they are fully ready to begin.
The Pro class will once again feature an international flair, highlighted by the return of Spain’s Jorge Casales for the full 2026 campaign. Casales, who competed aboard Montesa Honda machinery in both the NATC and world trials events in 2025, claimed the NATC Pro title last season and
established himself as the rider to beat. For 2026, he makes the switch to TRRS, bringing both his championshipwinning momentum and a new platform into the fight at the front.
Adding further depth to the Pro ranks is Norway’s Sondre “Gekko” Haga, who will contest the full 2026 season with support from Trials Superstore. Haga made a strong impression on U.S. soil in 2025 when he competed at the Ohio round following the FIM TrialGP event in Rhode Island, and his return for a full campaign adds another worldclass contender into an already competitive field.
The Pro class will also see several key changes among top American riders. Will Myers joins the Beta brand for 2026, supported by Beta Maryland along with TruN Racing and Trials Superstore. After seven years of competing at the professional level, Myers shared that he will be taking a slightly different approach this season—focusing more on enjoying the sport while scaling back from a fullseries commitment due to the demands of travel and the physical toll of competition. Even so, his experience and skillset make him a serious factor whenever he lines up.
Another major addition comes in the form of Josh Roper, who joins the Trial Store USA team aboard Beta machinery. Announced in a press release from Beta USA, Roper brings more than two decades of experience and a long list of Pro-class successes to his new team. Known for his technical precision and consistency, he is expected to be a strong contender throughout the season.
“I am proud to join the TrialStoreUSA and Beta USA team for the 2026 NATC MotoTrials Championship,” said Roper. “I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Beta family and represent a brand with such deep roots in trials. With the all-new Sincro model released this year, I’m looking forward to showcasing its performance throughout the season. See you out on the loop!”
Trial Store USA’s Alex Niederer emphasized the significance of adding a rider of Roper’s caliber to the program.
“Not going to lie, having a rider of Josh’s caliber on the team was not necessarily the plan for 2026, but when the opportunity came, we were not about to let it slide,” said Niederer. “I have been around Josh for a long time; he is a phenomenal rider with
lots of motivation and skills. Having competed against Josh myself, I am confident that he will not only represent TrialStoreUSA and Beta like a true professional but also be mixing it up with the very best in the US.”
Niederer himself will also be a name to watch in 2026, as he returns to the Pro class after stepping back to compete in Expert in 2025. His move back into the premier category adds yet another experienced and technically capable rider to an already deep field, further intensifying the battle at the front.
In the Women’s division, Beta USA’s Abigail Buzzelli steps up into the Women’s Pro class after competing in Women’s Sportsman. Buzzelli’s move into the premier category adds another compelling storyline.
With a championship-winning international presence, returning contenders, rising talent, and meaningful procedural updates, the 2026 NATC season opener promises a dynamic start to the year. Set against the technical terrain of Kairos Wilderness Resort, round one will provide an early benchmark as riders begin their pursuit of national titles.

DIALING IN THE FANTIC XE300
WORDS PHOTOS
BRIAN PIERCE LAKEN ORENDER, WINPIC PHOTOGRAPHY
Dialing in the new Fantic XE 300 at the Sandwinder Enduro in Smithville, Texas was a chance to put real race miles on the bike and share the process with you. I’m not chasing the full series this year, but this race is always a fun one, with a mix of GPstyle high-speed sections and tighter singletrack that really shows how a bike behaves. With very little time on the Fantic before this event, I went in with zero expectations and focused on enjoying the day and the journey.
The last enduro I raced before the 2026 Sandwinder Enduro was the Red River Dirt Riders Enduro, which was the penultimate round of TSCEC in 2025. I wanted to also race Barnwell Mountain Enduro again, BUT I was sick in bed. I have been training, though, just a bit different than I was for the racing I did in 2025. For 2026, I am going to be running more trail events,
so my training has been structured more around time on my legs.
Knowing that my bike riding muscles and mind weren’t as primed as they were the year before, I needed to pay attention to everything else that was in my control. Mainly, that meant a good night’s sleep, plus solid hydration and nutrition for race day. By the end of test eight I was definitely mentally faded and physically worked, but not so wrecked that my tongue was in the spokes.
FANTIC XE 300 TWEAKS
Throughout the race I made small, specific changes to get the Fantic working better: adding half a turn of preload to adjust sag, moving the clutch and brake levers to suit my hands and shoulders, lowering the rear brake pedal, and sticking with the softer green map to keep the power manageable. I break down
what each adjustment did in the video, but the takeaway for the majority of those was finding comfort for my body.
The mental side of not fully knowing how the Fantic would respond when it was pushed did create some doubt in me. I kept reminding myself I have very little time on the Fantic and on a two-stroke, so just feel it out and ramp up as you get more comfortable. That strategy kept me upright, and still pushing at a pretty decent pace on the day.
The number one thing that caught my attention was while I was warming up before test one. Knowing it was more of an open test, I wanted to see how the Blue Map, or the Wild Map, felt. It was constantly lifting the front wheel off the ground as I was coming out of turns in the figure eights I made. Due to that, I decided right away I was going to come back to playing with
Traction Control and the Wild Map in the future. FYI, we’re calling the Green Map the Mild Map, so we have Wild and Mild; they’re pretty fitting. Also, I want to try more preload, and Hans Neff recommended raising the forks in the clamps by 3mm.
ENDURO COMMUNITY AND RESULTS
It was a fun weekend to be back racing with my TSCEC friends and family. It’s interesting how many enduro attendees don’t realize how far back my time in TSCEC goes. I started racing again in 2007 (TORO and TSCEC), and I was AA in the TSCEC Series in 2010 & 2011 (I think). Though I was never one to compete with Cole Kirkpatrick or Haydn Franklin during their prime, I was there trying (haha).
Ryan Watson did a heck of a great job riding the AA spot on our row. It was really fun trying to get a pull from him. Then as Riley Johnson would catch and drop me, there were a few seconds in there where I felt fast. As is expected with an event called the Sandwinder Enduro, the tests got rough and
deep quick. The last 1.5 miles of the second test, which we did three times, was the worst on the day. The third test, which we also did three times, was probably the most fun. It was also the one I took a win in for the 40A class. I’m sure Haydn Franklin took a nap or missed a line, but I’ll take the little moments when they arise! 3rd in the 40A Class, ~5 minutes behind Haydn and one minute behind Nathan Goertz, and 28th Overall on the day.
I’ve been getting more messages about nutrition. Please keep those coming. The reason I put the content out I do is to entertain and educate other riders. I want you to enjoy you’re time on the bike more, so you enjoy the sport more, too.
If you have questions about the XE 300, nutrition/hydration, or enduro race prep, drop them in the comments. If I don’t get to see you on the trail, I’ll see
APRIL FOCUS: HILLS & CAMBERS
This month, we’re taking things off flat ground and onto the terrain that defines trials: hills and cambers.
Riding off-camber and on elevation challenges every part of your technique:
• Body positioning and balance on uneven ground
• Traction management when grip is limited
• Line choice and commitment on climbs and sidehills
• Staying relaxed and centered when the bike wants to drift or slide Hills and cambers expose weaknesses, but they also build confidence fast when you lean into the process. It’s all about staying over the contact patch in the middle of the motorcycle, allowing the bike to move independently beneath you.
Start small, stay controlled, and gradually increase difficulty. The goal isn’t just to make it through, it’s to feel comfortable doing it.

Bredekamp Dominates Ohio Hard Enduro Opener

LOCATION: Sugar Grove, OH
The inaugural round of the Ohio Hard Enduro Championship Series, presented by Lancaster Sportcycles, came to life in Sugar Grove, Ohio, ushering in a new era of grassroots hard enduro racing in the Midwest. Built as a sevenround, entirely Ohio-based championship, the series aims to give riders a competitive platform closer to home—one
that balances accessibility with the technical demands that define the discipline. If Round 1 proved anything, it’s that the appetite for that kind of racing is already there.
Held at the COCR Motocross property, the event showcased a scenic yet punishing 100acre venue overlooking the Hocking River. The week leading up to the race brought torrential rain, threatening to turn the course into a quagmire, but strong winds in the days before the event helped dry the terrain just enough. By race morning, riders were met with freezing temperatures but clear skies,
ROUND 1 - Cliffs Edge
LEFT : Bentlee Bredekamp (1615) RIGHT: Mark Fortner (30) and Coran Calvert (167) off the start
and a course that offered a dynamic mix of dry, loose soil, tacky woods, and just enough mud to keep things unpredictable.
The morning amateur race drew nearly 90 riders to the line, an impressive turnout for a brand-new series and a clear sign that local hard enduro racing is alive and well. The approximately 4.5-mile course wound through wooded singletrack, elevation changes, and scenic overlooks before funneling riders into tighter, more technical features. On lap two, additional sections opened up, including the aptly named “Slip-n-Slide,” a
short but steep hillclimb that quickly turned into a muddy bottleneck, along with the Amateur Hill climb and a preview of the endurocross section.
Within the amateur ranks, much of the attention centered on a group of young riders stepping up into the B class after competing in the Youth division of the US Hard Enduro Championship Series in 2025. Bentlee Bredekamp, Graham Kobak, Chase Delong, and Thad Bredekamp all made the jump, bringing with them a level of pace and racecraft that immediately raised the intensity of the class.
From the outset, Bentlee Bredekamp made it clear he would be the rider to beat. After working his way to the front early, he began to build a gap that only continued to grow as the race progressed. His pace was so relentless that officials extended the race from the originally scheduled three laps to four—a rare midrace adjustment driven entirely by the leader’s speed. Even with the added lap, Bredekamp continued to pull away, ultimately finishing more than 17 minutes ahead of second place.
“I felt good,” Bredekamp said. “My cousin, Thad, got the
holeshot and we were battling a little. I ended up passing him and just rode smooth from there.”
Bredekamp praised the course for striking a near-perfect balance between flow and technicality.
“The course was pretty dry, but there were a few wet spots out there,” he said. “I loved the course—it was really fun and was probably the best course I’ve ridden. It wasn’t too hard, but it wasn’t too easy. It was nice and flowy and technical.”
Behind him, the battle for the remaining podium positions was far more contested. Thad Bredekamp delivered a strong ride to secure second place, while Luke Barto completed the podium in third. The result underscored just how competitive the B class has become with the influx of talent from the youth ranks.
Not every race went according to plan. Chase Delong was running as high as seventh on the opening lap before mechanical issues struck. A front bolt backed out of his sprocket, causing it to come off completely. Delong was forced to stop and reinstall it, losing significant time in the process and dropping a lap down. Despite the setback, he fought through to finish 11th in the B class—an effort that showed both resilience and pace.
Elsewhere in the field, Cameron Pusateri launched off the start in second position but lost podium ground by the second check. Despite pushing hard for the remainder of the race, he was unable to claw back the lost positions, a reminder of how quickly momentum can shift in hard enduro.
Cory King, who finished second overall in the amateur
LEFT: Jacob Patton (1000, Schoolboy B class)
BELOW: Bob Ellis (Master class) helps Abdiel Lopez (1952, C Vet) through the endurocross section
race, reflected on his return from injury and the work it took to get back to form.
“I’m feeling wonderful,” King said. “I just got back from the wrist break from Hollow Point and have been training and riding almost every day. It’s worked out great. I’ve just been riding as much as I can to help get the wrist back in shape. After the wrist break, I’ve been in the gym with the cast on doing squats, running, everything else, and once I got that cast off, I’ve been fullbore riding every day.”
He also noted that while the course may have leaned slightly fast, it still presented its own challenges navigating traffic and bottlenecks.
“The course needed to be a little harder—it was too fast— but it was great. I really loved it. There were a couple hard sections that weren’t too hard for me, but everybody else you could see was struggling, so we had to go around them, and that made it really challenging.”
Bradley Carson, who rounded out the amateur podium, echoed the positive sentiment about the event while pointing to one section that proved costly.
“It was an awesome event,” Carson said. “Had a lot of good cutouts for the bottlenecks. I’d like to forget the Slip-n-Slide section—I got stuck in the bottleneck and that’s where I got passed. We’re definitely planning to come back and try to follow the whole series.”
While the amateur race highlighted the sport’s next generation, the afternoon pro race brought a different kind of intensity. Thirty-five riders lined up to tackle an expanded course measuring just over five miles, with seven additional sections added to increase the technical difficulty. The pro layout featured a dramatic waterfall climb near the end of the lap, along with a three-part endurocross section that included large logs, tire
obstacles, and rock gardens designed to test both precision and endurance.
Maverik Thaxton ultimately emerged as the overall winner, but his path to victory was far from straightforward. After grabbing the holeshot, Thaxton suffered an early crash in the woods that allowed several riders to slip past.
“I felt good all day,” Thaxton said. “I pulled the holeshot and then early in the woods I got off balance and went down. A bunch of guys got by me. There was a bit of confusion on that first lap with the splits—some guys went one way, some the other—so it shuffled things around a bit. But once everything settled, I just focused on riding smooth and hitting my lines. The conditions were really good— dry and loose in spots, then tacky in the woods with some mud mixed in—which made it interesting getting through lappers. It was just a really fun track.”
Behind him, Drew Fortner put together one of the standout rides of the day to finish second overall. Fortner hasn’t raced extensively in recent years, but the Ohio series provided the perfect setting for a return—and for a little family rivalry.
Two of Fortner’s brothers were also competing, including Mark Fortner, a rider wellknown for his speed in the National Hard Enduro series. One of Drew’s primary goals heading into the race was simple: beat his brother.
“I’m pumped,” Fortner said. “I haven’t raced a lot in recent years… so I’m happy. I’ve been working on my endurance and my fitness; it’s paying off and things are clicking. My wife has been a huge part of that—she’s

making my meals and keeping me on track. And really, it’s about the bragging rights with my brothers, too—that’s just the icing on the cake.”
Fortner’s ride to second didn’t come easy. Late in the race, he found himself under pressure from both Nick Fahringer and Coran Calvert as fatigue began to set in.
“On the last hillclimb, both Nick and Coran were right behind me,” Fortner said.
“That was a struggle—I was bobbling and pushing, and we were all tired at that point. Earlier in the race, Coran got stuck in a deep rut and I was able to get around him, but it was back-and-forth all day. It definitely kept me on my toes.”
Fahringer ultimately secured third place after a hard-fought ride.
“I’m used to a little bit of mud, but mud on a hard enduro race track with this kind of pace— it takes a lot out of you,” Fahringer said. “I felt rusty early on, but by the last lap I was finally starting to come around and shake off that lactic acid. To be honest, it felt like I was just getting going when the checkered flag came out. I’ve got a lot going on with work and family, so I’m just out here to have fun, but when the flag drops, it’s hard not to get competitive.”
Just off the podium, Coran Calvert endured a chaotic race that saw him both leading and fighting to recover from mistakes.
“It was pretty chaotic out there,” Calvert said. “I was running up front early and even got into the lead for a bit, but I made a mistake on a muddy log and lost some ground. Then there was confusion with the course and we ended up going the wrong way, which set us back. After that, it was just about putting my head down and riding it out. There was a lot of back-and-forth battling, which is what you want in these
races. I felt really good on the technical stuff—the hillclimbs and creek beds—but I know I need to work on the faster sections.”
Across both the amateur and pro ranks, Round 1 delivered exactly what the series set out to provide—challenging terrain, competitive racing, and an accessible entry point for riders looking to test themselves. The strong turnout, particularly in the amateur classes, highlighted the importance of regional championships in developing talent and growing participation in the sport.
If the opening round is any indication, the Ohio Hard Enduro Championship Series is poised to become a key fixture in the Midwest hard enduro scene—one that bridges the gap between local racing and the national stage.
The championship continues with Round 2, the Black Rock Hard Enduro, scheduled for April 25 in Chesterhill, Ohio.

The hardest race in america gets even harder
ROUND 3 - Grinding Stone Hard Enduro
LOCATION: Page, AZ
Trystan Hart stood on the mesa above Page, Arizona, staring into a race that—even for him—never feels routine.
Grinding Stone isn’t just another stop on the U.S. Hard Enduro schedule. It’s a race that keeps even the most seasoned riders honest.
The kind of event where confidence doesn’t eliminate risk—it just sharpens your awareness of it.
“This is one of the only races in America that still like gets me nervous on the starting line," said Hart. "There's just so much unknown. It only takes one tiny mistake. That's just a tiny mistake and it can be so bad. Living with that fear, knowing you have to try
and clean each section lap after lap is really just a mental beat-down here.”
That uncertainty is baked into the terrain itself. The sandstone mesas above Lake Powell offer incredible grip— until they don’t. A thin layer of sand can turn a climb into something nearly unrideable in seconds, and with near-vertical exposure in places, mistakes carry real consequence.
Now in its sixth year, the Grinding Stone Hard Enduro—hosted by the
Rockstars Motorcycle Club— has built a reputation as one of the most unique and unforgiving races in the world. What started as a standout event on the national calendar has grown into an international draw, and in 2026, that was clear with the addition of riders like Mario Roman and Alfredo Gomez to an already stacked U.S. field.
The format evolved as well. For the first time, the event expanded into a three-day program, introducing a knockout-style amateur progression that worked to
fundamentally change how amateur riders experienced the event. And the response was immediate. More than 300 amateur riders entered— marking the largest turnout in the event’s history and a clear signal that Grinding Stone is no longer just a bucketlist race for elite riders, but a proving ground that riders across all levels want to test themselves against.
The format itself was designed to mirror the intensity and attrition of the pro race, but in a structured, step-by-step progression.
Friday opened with Race 1, where the full field of amateur riders took on a three-lap course built at a B/C difficulty level. It wasn’t meant to eliminate riders through brutality—it was meant to introduce them to the terrain. Flowier in nature but still laced with technical features, it gave
riders their first real taste of the sandstone and the unique traction challenges that define Grinding Stone.
From there, the knockout began.
Roughly 260 riders were trimmed down to 200, advancing into Saturday morning’s Race 2. The difficulty stepped up to an A/B level course, with tighter
sections, more commitmentheavy climbs, and less room for error. For many riders, this stage represented the line between participation and competition—where survival alone wasn’t enough anymore.
THIS PAGE: Champion Brick's Matthew Green (4), Mario Roman (74x), Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing's Ryder LeBlond (513)
Race 3 brought the amateurs into direct alignment with the pro-level terrain, featuring sections classified as Pro/A difficulty. This wasn’t just a step up—it was a preview of what the best riders in the country would face the following day. Add in 90-degree desert heat, and the race became as much about endurance and decisionmaking as it was about technical ability.
What made the format particularly effective was how it built pressure.
Each stage wasn’t just harder—it demanded a different mindset. Riders had to balance pushing hard enough to advance while avoiding the kind of mistakes that would end their weekend entirely. It created a natural funnel, where only the most consistent and adaptable riders progressed, not just the fastest.
And importantly, it gave the majority of entrants meaningful seat time across multiple days—something that’s often missing in traditional one-day formats.
By the time Sunday rolled around, the amateur field had already been through its own version of a Hard Enduro gauntlet. But they weren’t done yet: the main event remained, with eight laps of a brutally tight, technical course laid across the mesas, where precision mattered more than outright speed.
Hart grabbed the holeshot, but the race wasted no time reminding everyone how fragile control can be. An early mistake opened the door for Mario Roman, who charged into the lead heading into Stairway to Heaven.
From there, the front of the race became a constant reshuffling of momentum
between Hart, Ryder LeBlond, and Roman. LeBlond, the defending winner, found his way to the lead on lap two after Hart derailed his chain— one of those small errors that can spiral quickly at Grinding Stone.
Hart knows that feeling all too well.
“I had one of those tiny mistakes happen to me on Stairway,” he explained. “Luckily my bike stayed up high, it didn't cartwheel to the bottom. But two years ago when I lost the race, I had a tiny mistake on Game Changer. The bike flipped, landed on me, the bars were bent, and I think that cost me the win. You're never
like guaranteed to win here, I think, because just such a small mistake can just ruin your day.”
That tension never really lets up. Even when leading, even when riding well, there’s always something waiting to catch you out.
“It was stressful because Ryder was riding so good,” Hart said. “He had a couple hills he was definitely doing better than me; he had a couple of really nice lines. He kept the pressure on me. I had

LEFT: IRC Beta's James Flynn (55)
RIGHT: Rocky Mountain Yamaha's Cody Webb (2)
to figure out Escalator because he was making up so much time there on me. The last four laps, I got it in one try every lap like he was getting… maybe not as clean as him, but at least I got it. Stairway was all-time tricky. And those last three laps, I cleaned it and probably saved a minute, which in this stuff is like an eternity.”
The defining moment came, once again, on Stairway to Heaven.
After a second chain issue, Hart was forced to stop and fix the bike mid-race. Below him, LeBlond
had a golden opportunity to take control—but couldn’t capitalize. Two failed attempts at the climb left the door open just long enough.
Hart reset, rode clean, and from that point forward, the race shifted decisively in his favor.
Behind him, Mario Roman was quietly building something of his own.
Racing in the U.S. ahead of the upcoming FIM Hard Enduro World Championship, the Spaniard used the early laps to learn the terrain—something that proved critical as the race wore on.
“I’m a super fan of the hill climbs,” Roman said. “Where I live, we have hill climbs but different dirt. So I am super surprised how grippy it is here but how slick it becomes with the sand in the top of it. So I have to learn through the race.”
That learning curve paid off.
“Yesterday was only one hour, but I rode good. Today was super challenging. Trystan and Ryder were pulling a gap. I knew that from mid-race to the end I become strong,” he continued. “So I tried to clean the lines and improve every lap and I was riding better. So, I was able to pass Ryder… and I think it's super super
important to get this result and this performance before the world championship start next month in France.”
Roman would ultimately take second, while LeBlond settled for third after an early charge at the front.
“It was classic grinding stone," explained LeBlond. "Everyone's tumbling up, down, whatever. I tumbled a lot. I'm pretty tired. It was kind of a beatdown. It was hotter than normal. On a difficulty scale of 1 to 10, it
was probably close to 10. It's not like Hawaii where you're pushing everywhere it's either you make it or you don't, which is the hard part here. To actually make stuff consistently is impossible. I don't think anybody made everything every lap. I definitely [rode] a lot cleaner last year and it just shows how much the sport’s escalated and evolved just in a year. Everyone's stepping it up, the track’s gnarlier and we still get through.”
Further back, Cody Webb delivered a measured ride
to fourth. It was clean, controlled—but not quite aggressive enough to challenge for the podium.
“I was really happy with how I rode all the obstacles… it was the least amount of damage my bike has ever had at Grinding Stone,” Webb said. “But I just lacked intensity today. Trystan said he was cramping; I didn’t cramp up [like I normally end up doing here]. I just didn’t have the intensity to match in all the between stuff. I think yesterday was so hot that it maybe took it out of me a little bit. I would get to the obstacles and just sit and
look and make sure I had my composure. You can't do that if you want to be up front at this race.”
James Flynn rounded out the top five, navigating both the physical and mental demands of the race—something that starts well before the green flag.
“It went pretty smooth, for the most part, honestly. I had one really bad crash, but I came out unscathed, bike was unscathed. Coming into it, I don’t know why, I was… very nervous on the start line,” Flynn admitted. “It’s a little embarrassing, but I was like trembling… just not sure what was going to happen. For me, it’s not as much the obsctacles because I know once we get
out there, it becomes less scary. I think it’s more the performance and just wanting to do well”
That sentiment echoed across the field.
Because Grinding Stone doesn’t rely on a single impossible obstacle to define it. It’s the accumulation. The repetition. The requirement to execute at a near-perfect level over and over again.
“It’s not like one thing is insanely hard,” Hart explained. “Stairway was pretty hard and eggs was hard, but it's not
impossible. It's just tying 10 main features together that are super close to the limit and then doing it every lap eight times… you have to be like dialed in… for two hours.”
In the end, Hart was the one who stayed the most dialed. He crossed the line with a seven-minute margin, claiming his third Grinding Stone victory and extending his championship lead heading into Moab.

Spain Dominates X-Trial of Nations
X-Trial of Nations
LOCATION: Sevilla, Spain
Under the lights of the Palacio Municipal de Deportes San Pablo, the 2026 FIM X-Trial of Nations delivered exactly what indoor trials has become synonymous with—precision under pressure, national pride, and a relentless pace that leaves
no margin for hesitation. In a discipline where balance is measured in millimeters and mistakes are amplified by the clock, Seville once again proved to be a fitting stage for one of the sport’s most unique team competitions.
From the opening sections, the tone was unmistakable. Spain, led by the incomparable Toni Bou and the rising force
of Gabriel Marcelli, wasted no time asserting control over the event. Fresh off securing his 20th X-Trial World Championship, Bou arrived in Seville with momentum and, perhaps more importantly, composure. Alongside him, Marcelli—making his debut in the X-Trial of Nations—rode with the kind of confidence that suggested he belonged on this stage all along.

The format, distinct from traditional indoor rounds, demanded both consistency and adaptability. Each nation fielded two riders, splitting six sections between them in the opening round before regrouping for a high-pressure speed-based second phase. It’s a structure that rewards not just individual brilliance, but cohesion—two riders operating as a single unit, with
every point carrying amplified weight.
Spain’s execution in Round One was clinical. Bou and Marcelli combined for a class-leading performance, dropping minimal points and immediately positioning themselves at the top of the standings. Their total of just five points in the opening phase set the benchmark for

the rest of the field. Behind them, the margins tightened quickly. The United States, France, Italy, and Great Britain were separated not by massive errors, but by the accumulation of small ones—dabs, hesitations, and the occasional missed line that indoor sections are designed to expose.
Round Two shifted the dynamic entirely. The clock became as much an opponent as the obstacles themselves. Riders attacked shortened sections in a race against time, where even a single footing could translate into costly seconds. Once again, Spain proved untouchable. Bou and Marcelli stopped the clock at 1:57.7 with zero penalties, a performance that not only secured their place in the final but did so with authority.
Behind them, the battle for the remaining final spots intensified. Great Britain, represented by Harry Hemingway and Jack Peace, delivered a composed and calculated run to secure second in the speed phase. Italy followed closely, with Matteo Grattarola and Francesco Titli doing just enough to advance. France, despite flashes of brilliance from Hugo Dufrese and Benoit Bincaz, fell short of the final after costly mistakes across the two rounds.
For the United States, the weekend became a story of resilience under less-than-ideal circumstances—and one best told through the perspective of Josh Roper himself. Originally set to compete alongside Ryon Land, the team was forced to adapt when Land suffered a finger injury during training just days before the event. That left Roper to carry the effort solo in a format designed for two riders.
“I’ll be honest, it was nerve wracking,” Roper said of stepping into the arena against the world’s best. “When you’re sitting there lined up with literally the best riders in the world, you’re like, ‘Man, this
is very, very scary,’ but also what a cool opportunity.”
Despite the circumstances, Roper embraced the moment. The magnitude of the event— something he had envisioned since childhood—was not lost on him.
“I was kind of scared in the moment… but this has been on my bucket list ever since I was a little kid,” he explained. “Growing up, I would literally sit on the couch and just watch X-Trial videos… I was like, I have to do this.”
That perspective framed the American performance not in terms of results, but experience. With maximum penalties inevitably assigned to the absent rider, the United States was ultimately classified as DNF in the final standings. But the story went beyond the classification sheet.
For Roper, the indoor environment itself was a revelation.
“You can hear the crowd chanting… I just took a second… and I was just like, man, what a cool opportunity this was,” he said, describing the atmosphere inside the arena—something that doesn’t fully translate through a screen.
Fans will have the opportunity to hear more of that experience directly, as the next episode of the On the Pegs Podcast will feature Josh diving deeper into his trip to Spain—expanding on the challenges, the atmosphere, and what it’s like to step onto an X-Trial stage for the first time, along with other topics like his switch from GasGas to Beta for the 2026 season.
The final brought together Spain, Great Britain, and Italy in a head-to-head showdown that showcased the very best of indoor trials. In a unique twist, both riders from each nation tackled the same sections in opposite directions, adding an additional layer of complexity to an already demanding format.

If there was any expectation of late-race drama at the top, Spain quickly put it to rest. Bou and Marcelli delivered a near-flawless performance, accumulating just four penalty points across six
sections. Bou was impeccable, completing his routes without a single mark, while Marcelli contributed just enough to keep their total comfortably out of reach.
“Winning an X-Trial of Nations title is always a source of pride,” Bou reflected. “It’s a unique competition, and it’s a pleasure to represent the Spanish Federation once again.”
For Marcelli, the victory marked a milestone moment.
“This was my first time in an X-Trial of Nations, and I’m very happy with my debut. Sharing a team with Toni is always a privilege,” he said, acknowledging both the magnitude of the occasion and the opportunity to ride alongside the sport’s most decorated athlete.
Behind them, the fight for second proved far more contested. Great Britain and Italy entered the final separated by only a narrow margin, and the outcome remained uncertain until the closing sections. Hemingway and Peace ultimately secured

the runner-up position with 26 points, holding off the Italian duo by just enough to claim Great Britain’s best result in the event since 2017.
Italy, meanwhile, completed the podium in third with 31 points, a result that mirrored their performance from the previous year. For Grattarola and Titli, it was a showing defined by moments of brilliance offset by critical errors—an all-too-familiar narrative in indoor trials, where perfection is the only true currency.
“We were very close to second place,” Grattarola admitted. “We made it into the final and maybe we could have done a little better, but that’s racing.”
The broader story of the night, however, belonged to Spain. Their victory in Seville marked yet another chapter in a legacy that continues to define the X-Trial of Nations.
With this win, Bou secured his tenth title in the competition, while Spain extended its remarkable dominance on home soil and beyond.
For emerging talents like Marcelli and Hemingway, it was a platform to announce themselves on a global stage. For veterans like Bou and Grattarola, it was another opportunity to demonstrate the consistency that has defined their careers. And for riders like Roper, it was a firsthand look at the level required to compete among the elite.
As the indoor season edges toward its conclusion, the X-Trial of Nations in Seville served as both a celebration and a reminder—of how far the discipline has come, and of the razor-thin margins that continue to define it.
Medaglia Takes The Overall Win at Club MX

ROUND 2 - Club MX GP
LOCATION: Chesterfield, SC along with some of the fastest off-road riders in the sport, making for an exciting day for everyone watching. RacerTV and AG Media captured all the action from the Pee Wee riders all the way up to the Pro AA class, making sure the entire event was covered.
J Day Offroad hosted their second Regional Race at ClubMX in Chesterfield, South Carolina on March 15, 2026, with Blu Cru as the presenting sponsor. The course brought a unique setup, featuring two moto tracks— one with a clay base and one with a sand base—separated by the FMF Extreme Section. It created a different kind of racing and it was fast. With 26 Pro AA riders lined up, the gate included ClubMX racers
As the Pro AA riders waited for the green Fox Racing flag to drop, the energy on the line was high. When the flag waved, former Pro Supercross racer Joey Crown (YAM) grabbed the holeshot and led the pack as they headed straight into the FMF Extreme
Section. Crown continued to lead through the first four laps while the field began to settle in behind him. Meanwhile, Tyler Medaglia (YAM) was working his way forward, pushing into the top three after starting further back.
Phoenix Honda rider Angus Riordan (HON) quickly joined the battle near the front, making it a tight fight between the top riders. After lap four, Crown dropped back slightly, allowing Medaglia to make the pass for the lead. From there Crown kept the pressure on, staying close and waiting for his opportunity. On the last lap he made the move back into first, taking the Moto 1 win after a hard-fought race.
Riordan finished Moto 1 in third, putting himself in a strong position for the overall. Ben Kelley (KTM) also had an impressive ride in the
opening moto. Starting back in 11th place, Kelley worked his way through the field and moved into fourth by lap seven, showing strong speed and consistency throughout the race. Bryton Carroll (YAM) made an impressive start to his JDay Offroad debut as well. After starting the moto in 12th, he pushed forward and worked his way up to finish fifth, just behind Kelley, rounding out the Moto 1 top five.
By the time Pro AA Moto 2 lined up, the sun had come back out after a midday rainstorm. The moisture seemed to help the track hold together, something several riders mentioned after the race. When the Fox Racing flag dropped for the second moto, Jiggs Fustini on the KTM came around the first corner in the lead, bringing the pack of riders behind him onto the first moto track.
Tyler Medaglia didn’t waste much time making his move. By the end of the first lap he had moved into the lead and began to pull away from the rest of the field. From there he stayed smooth and consistent, holding the top position for the entire moto and securing the Moto 2 win.
Moto 1 winner Joey Crown started the second moto in fifth place and worked his way forward throughout the race. By the final lap he had moved into second, putting together another strong ride.
Angus Riordan started Moto 2 in seventh place but continued to push forward as the race went on.
Riordan made passes on Zach Osborne (BET), who finished fourth, and Ben Kelley
(KTM), who finished fifth, allowing him to secure third place in Moto 2.
With battles happening throughout the field and the track continuing to change throughout the day, the Pro AA class once again delivered an exciting race to watch.
Taking the overall win was Tyler Medaglia backed by Valley Yamaha. Medaglia put together two strong motos, managing the conditions and keeping a solid pace when it counted most to secure the top step of the podium.

Speaking on the podium, Medaglia said, “This kind of racing is right up my alley. I come from a moto background and transitioned into woods racing.”
When asked what went through his mind once he got into the lead in the second moto he added, “I was trying to survive the sand, that’s really all. I didn’t have to work as hard. First moto I had a bad start and by the time I got up front I was pretty spent. Second moto I felt a lot more comfortable and had a better start.”
Finishing second overall was Joey Crown backed by ClubMX. Crown put together a strong performance throughout the day, winning Moto 1 and fighting his way through the field in Moto 2 to secure the runner-up spot overall. After dealing with injuries in the past, the result shows he is continuing to find his rhythm again.
On the podium Crown said, “Coming into the weekend my goal was a top five. To win that first moto, even with a couple falls, was huge. I just needed to keep it on two wheels the next moto. I knew I had the speed but I blew it with a bad start and crashed a couple times. I beat myself.”
Rounding out the podium was Phoenix Honda rider Angus Riordan. Riordan stayed consistent throughout both motos and handled the challenging course well, securing third overall among a stacked Pro AA field.
AMATURE OA
In the Amateur Overall standings, the top spot went to ClubMX rider Keegan Rowley (YAM), who finished 15th overall while taking the A250 class win. Nick Higham (HUS) topped the A200 class, and Hayden Justice (YAM) captured the A Open win with a 24th overall finish.
WOMENS PRO
The Women’s Pro class also delivered strong racing. Factory KTM rider Brandy Richards dominated the day with a perfect 1-1 performance. Richards finished Moto 1 with a 46-second lead and followed it up with a 54-second advantage in Moto 2. Making her JDay Offroad debut, she made the most of the opportunity.
Speaking about the FMF Extreme Section on the podium Richards said, “That was pretty good. First moto I found a good line and stuck with it, and the same thing for the second moto. I stayed with the same line because it was consistent. It wasn’t too slow and I wasn’t getting sketchy in it so it worked well.”
Kori Steede (HUS) finished second overall in the Women’s Pro class behind Richards and also had a strong race. Backed by the Rockstar
Husqvarna team and known for her strength in off-road and sprint-style racing, Steede stayed consistent throughout the day and put together a solid performance to secure the runner-up spot.
Rounding out the Women’s Pro podium was Phoenix Honda rider Tayla Jones, who finished third overall on the day. Jones stayed consistent through both motos, handling the mix of clay, sand, and the FMF Extreme Section to secure her spot on the podium.

I f the previous round in Georgia was any indication, Liqui Moly Beta’s Cody Barnes was closing in on a breakthrough—and this weekend in South Carolina, he delivered.

weekend, he put together his most complete performance yet, earning just his second career overall US Sprint Enduro victory at the Rodgers Farm Sprint Enduro in NinetySix, South Carolina.
Barnes wasted no time asserting himself on Saturday, opening the day with a win in the first Cross Test, edging 2024 US Sprint Enduro Champion FMF KTM Factory Rider Johnny Girroir by 1.1 seconds. Girroir’s challenge would unfortunately come to an early end, as a lingering
illness forced him to withdraw during the third test.
From there, Barnes controlled the pace, capturing four of the six tests on the day. Despite a slip in the second Cross Test and a late-race issue in the final Enduro Test, Barnes maintained his composure and consistency to secure Saturday’s win by 10.7 seconds over Husqvarna’s Toby Cleveland underscoring both his speed and resilience under pressure. Cleveland accounted for the remaining two test wins for second
overall and first in the Pro 2 division.
“I tagged the tree in that last Enduro test and messed up my front brake, so I rode the last mile without front brakes,” said Barnes. “It was a bummer, but I still was able to salvage the test, but it would have been a really good time if I wouldn’t have made a mistake.”
Round-two winner FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Grant Davis
Cody Barnes (99), Cole Whitmer (518), Grant Davis (2)
had an uncharacteristically quiet outing on Saturday, settling for third overall without recording a single test win. KTM USA Orange Brigade’s Cooper Jones delivered a solid performance to finish second in the Pro 2 class and fourth overall, edging out Gavin Simon (Hsq), who rounded out the Pro 2 podium in third and claimed fifth overall.
“It was a good day, but Toby (Cleveland) really put it on us,” said Jones. “We’ll find the speed, and tomorrow we’ll come out swinging.”
In the Pro-Am ranks, Husqvarna-mounted Colton Shields led the way with an impressive sixth overall finish and first Pro-Am rider, while Cole Whitmer (GG) backed him up with second in the class and seventh overall.
Cleveland came out firing on Sunday, setting the fastest time in the opening test to seize the early overall lead and command the Pro 2 division. Davis was close in pursuit, less than a second behind, while another Pro 2 contender Gavin Simon slotted into third. Barnes faced an uphill start to the day, posting fourth fastest in the test with Jones rounding out the top five.
Cleveland continued to build momentum with a victory in Test Two, extending his advantage at the front. Barnes limited the damage with a strong secondplace finish, just one second off Cleveland’s pace. Davis followed closely behind in third, crossing the line a further 1.5 seconds back, keeping the battle tight at the top.
Barnes got back in the groove with a close win in Test Three, topping Cleveland by just one-tenth of a second. Davis was third, 1.6-seconds behind Cleveland.
Davis claimed his first Test win of the weekend in Test five, while Barnes was 0.2-second behind. Cleveland was third 2.5 seconds behind Barnes.
Barnes finished the weekend in dramatic fashion, edging out Cleveland by just onetenth of a second in the final Enduro Test. Despite the late charge, Cleveland’s 2.3-second advantage on the day was enough to secure Sunday’s win and the Pro 2 class overall victory. When the dust settled on the weekend, however, Barnes’ 10.7second cushion from Saturday proved decisive, earning him the overall victory by 7.3 seconds over Cleveland and marking a significant milestone in his career.
Davis capped off a consistent weekend by finishing third overall for the day and the event.
“It was a good weekend,” said Barnes. “I had a crash today on the first Cross Test and kind of threw away some seconds and wasn’t able to quite get the gap closed back to Toby. But yeah, overall, it was a good weekend.”
Toby Cleveland came close to winning the overall from the Pro 2 class.
“I just had an absolute blast with the track,” said Cleveland. “I was very comfortable all weekend and I really wanted to battle it out all the way to the end for the overall on the weekend but I ended up second. So super happy and hopefully I can do this in Maryland.”
Grant Davis took over the overall series standings with his third overall finish.
“Yeah, I pretty much just got smoked,” said Davis. “I couldn’t figure it out. I just
didn’t have the speed this weekend, but I got the points lead now, so that’s the only thing that came out of this week and that was good.”
Cooper Jones came out on top of a tight battle with Gavin Simon for fourth overall and second in the Pro 2 division.
“It came down to milliseconds,” said Jones. “It was pretty cool being that close. It’s kind of funny. He’s beat me by 1/2 a second or a second for the Pro 2 overall two or three times Now, which is wild. So we have good races with each other.”
Simon was fifth overall and third in the Pro 2 division.
Sixth overall and fourth in the Pro 2 division went to RaceCraft Husqvarna’s Brody Johnson, with first Pro-Am rider Cole Whitmer seventh overall on a GasGas. Whitmer also won the $1000.00 GasGas contingency check from the KTM group. At each of the seven US Sprint Enduro rounds a class will be randomly chosen as the “Power Pick” class and the winner, as long as they are competing on KTM, Husqvarna or GasGas, will receive a $1000.00 contingency boost.
Colton Shields (Hsq), Will Sievenpiper (Kaw) and Brayden Baisley (Yam) rounded out the top 10 overall.
In the Women’s Pro Division, FMF KTM’s Brandy Richards claimed a decisive overall victory after topping Danielle McDonald (Yam) by 29 seconds on Saturday and by a 1:22-second advantage on Sunday.
“I like this wide-open grass track, and I even did better than I expected in the woods,” said Richards. “The Cross Test is one of my favorites. It’s just a traditional grass track. It’s tricky because you have to memorize pretty much every
corner, so that was tricky. But I absolutely love that stuff, putting it all together and I also have fun in the woods. It was challenging.”
Yamaha-mounted Lillie Sheets finished third overall, with Emma Smith completing the weekend in fourth on a GasGas.
The top Amateur for the weekend with an overall win in the 250 A division was Braiden Baisley.
“Yesterday, especially towards the end, I started getting my flow,” said Baisley. “The track was good and I felt like there was a little more traction today. But yeah, overall, a good weekend and I’m ready for the next one.”
Baisley also won a FMF $150.00 Top Amateur prize.
Cody Barnes turned in the fastest Enduro time for the weekend, a 6:14.7, and he also turned the fastest Cross time for the two days with a 6:31.2.
The US Sprint Enduro Series has started the Six-Day Futures presented by US Sprint Enduro Series.
The 6Days Futures program was created to support, educate, and inspire the next generation of American offroad motorcycle racers, while building awareness of what the International Six Days of Enduro (ISDE / “Six Days”) truly entails.
This weekend they had AMA 6Days Past Club Team Members, Cole and Lane Whitmer as mentors on Saturday at the conclusion of race day. This was a great experience for the racers as they got to hear some firsthand accounts of the 6Days experience as a club rider and were able to walk the track and get prepared for Sunday’s race day.

STRA Opens 2026 Season with Record Turnout at Rockcrusher Farm
ROUND 1/2 - Rockcrusher Farm
LOCATION: Young Harris, GA
The Southeastern Trials Riders Association (STRA) kicked off its 2026 season on March 21–22 at Rockcrusher Farm, and the turnout alone made a statement.
More than 100 riders signed up on Saturday, setting a new benchmark for recent club history and reinforcing the steady growth of trials in the Southeast. Warm weather and clear skies carried through the weekend, giving riders an ideal start to the season.
Rockcrusher delivered sections that leaned into traditional

trials skills. Large, flowing layouts rewarded riders who stayed patient and precise, while the mix of creek beds and steep hillsides demanded smart line choice and traction control.
Recent moisture left some sections slick, especially in the creeks and shaded soil, but overall conditions were very manageable. Riders who limited mistakes were able to separate themselves across both days.
In the Championship class, Josh Roper returned to STRA competition fresh off the X-Trial des Nations and put together a clean weekend to take the win both days.
Saturday evening added another highlight, as Roper was presented with the Curtis Comer Sr. Cup at the awards banquet. The award recognizes the STRA’s top Championship rider from the previous season, a title he secured with a dominant 2025 campaign.
The depth of the weekend showed up across nearly every class, with strong turnouts and close scoring throughout.
The Expert class brought a competitive group, with Matthew Enniss continuing the form that carried him to second in the 2025 standings. He took wins on both days, with Zac Brown and Morgan Hefler close behind, keeping
the pressure on from start to finish.
Advanced was one of the most stacked classes of the weekend. Anton Illien-Junger rode consistently to secure both wins, but the margins behind him were tight. Kaleb Allen, Trent Webster, and Dallas Pierce were all in the mix, and small mistakes made the difference in final positions.
Advanced Sportsman continued that trend with a deep field. David Wolfe carried

momentum from his 2025 Sportsman championship into the new season, taking wins both days. Mark Sturtevant and Don Mealor stayed close and capitalized on mistakes when they could.
Sportsman was one of the largest classes of the weekend, and it showed in the scores. Ben Eudy took the win on Saturday, while Sunday saw Gary Holbert come out on top after a steady ride. With a field that size, every point mattered.
Intermediate followed suit with strong participation and competitive riding. Alan Wray topped the class on Saturday, while Chris Lady answered back on Sunday with one of the lowest scores of the weekend.
In Novice, Daniel Fuller and Evan Wiles split the wins across the two days, each putting together solid rides in conditions that were not always forgiving for newer riders.
Saturday’s youth trial added even more momentum to the
weekend, drawing more than 20 riders.
That turnout reflects the continued effort being put into growing the next generation of riders in the region, with much of that work driven by riders like Josh Owens and Ben Eudy. Their involvement is clearly paying off as more young riders continue to show up and get involved.
From the first rider out to the final sections on Sunday, Rockcrusher delivered a weekend that felt full. The first day of the season gives the feeling that a new year really has arrived, even months after the real New Years Day, and this one brought out all the friends and familiar faces for an exciting kick off.
Strong numbers, competitive classes, and exciting sections all pointed to a series that is building in the right direction. If this opening round is any indication, the 2026 STRA season is set up to be a good one.

Three TWO Days of Creeks, Dabs, and Smiles in Beautiful Northern California
British American Cup
LOCATION: Lombardi Ranch in Valley Springs, CA
It’s a problem that plagues all us riders - as the years go on, we seem to get busier and busier with work and family, and our available riding time continues to diminish. Despite my best efforts, I fall into this trap. Since I am a part-time trials enthusiast and a fulltime dirtbike junkie, many trials events come and go and escape my notice; between a few enduros here and there and a bunch of trail riding, it had been 5 years since my last trials event!
Recently, my dirtbike friends, Kel and his dad Pete, bought a GasGas trials bike from
JUBAL BROWN // SRS CREATIVE PETE POSTEL WORDS PHOTOS
their local KTM dealer, and they could hardly resist the urge to “dabble” in trials (pun intended). Pete called asked me, “Hey, are there any longdistance, enduro-style trials events with really long loops and full days?” “There are not a lot like that,” I answered, “but there is one coming up next weekend that fits that description perfectly!” I hung up the phone and signed the three of us up for the 2026 British American Cup.
Held in the picturesque hills of the Lombardi Ranch in Valley Springs, California, the British American Cup is the brainchild of Adrian and Mandy Lewis. While today Adrian and Mandy run Lewisport USA,
Adrian was once a hot amateur trials prospect living in the UK and riding the Scottish Six Days Trial; their BAC event pays homage to those roots. Adrian, Mandy, and a legion of dedicated volunteers created the longest mototrials event in the US: 3 days, 40 miles per day, 30 sections per day, all combined together for scoring. We were going to have our work cut out for us!
We arrived bright and early Saturday morning, after a scenic drive into the ranch on a primitive red clay road with a stream crossing. After going through all the trials basics and rules with them AT LENGTH in the hotel room the night before, Kel and Pete were both
bundles of nervous/excited energy that couldn’t wait to get the day started! They were dressed in all their gear and ready to go, helmets on, by 7am. Looks of bewilderment and distress crossed their features when they saw me still in my street clothes, asking, “Aren’t you riding today?!” Rolling my eyes, I responded, “We don’t start for another two hours…”
Our 8:56 start time finally came, and we were off to the races! The first part of the transfer trail was smooth and scenic, but after a few miles we came to the first sections of the day – rocky creek beds. It was at this point that all of my careful explanation of
trials scoring and rules from the night before went out the window; once Kel and Pete got between the ribbons, it was head down and throttle back… for a 5! It took a few sections for them to get the hang of it – yellow on the left, red on the right, watch for splits, don’t take someone else’s split, watch where you’re going, etc. I explained to the observers that this was their first trials event ever, and I caught a lot of scandalous looks and incredulous comments, “You picked THIS event for their first trials?!” What can I say, they asked for it!
After the first few sections, it was time for another long transfer, and this is where the trail started to get really technical. Much of the transfer was like a long observed section itself; it was pretty tough! Slimy rocks coated in morning dew and red clay, a few long uphills, and some STEEP downhills kept all the competitors on their toes. The
downhills were so long and steep that our brakes were fading; I’ve never had that happen on a trials bike before!
Sections were scattered throughout. Most were in creek bottoms, both wet and dry, while some crawled their way through rock piles at the top of the climbs. One section even featured a steep, straightup hill climb with markers on the side to denote what score you would get; go as far as you can until you can’t make it any farther, and whatever marker your front axle passes is the score you get!
Most of the sections on first day were pretty straightforward and not too challenging, and once Kel and Pete figured out what they were supposed to do in the sections, they put in some good rides. At one point though, Kel decided that there was a conspiracy going that made the Intermediate sections harder than the Advanced sections… I just let him
continue to wear his tin foil helmet…
Pete, 66 years old, decided he had enough fun after one loop, so Kel and I left him and set out on our second 20-mile loop. I used almost every bit of the 6.5 hour time limit, finishing after 6 hours and 21 minutes. At the end of the day, we left our bikes at the event, drove back out the dirt road, and devoured two pizzas at the local Pizza Factory. One day down, two to go.
Day 2 was much the same as day before; the weather was still mostly sunny, and after a brisk morning, it warmed to be the perfect temperature. The sections on the second day were substantially harder, and everyone’s scores climbed a bit compared to the first day. I find that I ride much better when the sections are harder, as I think it helps improve my focus. I want to put my foot down because I need to, not because I made some silly little mistake!
At some point, everyone in our little group hit the ground except myself, but I had a couple of those “yardsale” 3’s where the train comes off the tracks and it’s simply a rodeo to get through the section without a 5!
I am sure it was especially harrowing for the riders who tackled the course on twinshock bikes! There was a strong vintage turnout, and it was cool to see a few Bultacos and multiple Yamaha TYs tackling the terrain. I can’t imagine how steep some of those hills were with drum brakes!
At the end of the day, the weather was definitely changing, and a storm was blowing in. Being from Oregon, I was especially excited for Day 3 knowing it was going to be a mudfest! We went to bed with the sound of rain pattering the rooftop, and we all knew we would be in for a challenge the next day.
What we didn’t realize was the challenge for Day 3 was
simply going to be getting out of the parking lot! Remember the stream crossing I mentioned earlier? Well, the 3 inches of rain overnight turned that “stream” into a small river, and the clay dirt road had turned into a muddy mess! Adrian and Mandy made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel Day 3. Concerns about rider safety, getting the observers in and out of their remote sections, and getting everyone out of the Lombardi Ranch and back onto pavement made it the right call.
Even though we got rained out of the final day, we definitely got our money’s worth, and we can’t wait to go back next year!

LOCATION: Buffalo, SC
09:59:50 AM. It’s here. Finally, after a long “real” winter squirreled away in the shop prepping bikes for just this moment, I flip the kick starter out ready to fire the bike at the first twitch of the green flag. As my heart beats faster, I say a quick prayer in hopes that this old hunk of Yamaha’s finest engineering comes to life with just one kick. A clear bright blue sky is burning off the slight chill lingering from last evening’s gusty winds and illuminating a cacophony of brilliant colors unseen by this carpetbagging Pennsylvanian since fall. The bland palette of drab and somber remaining up north is replaced by brilliant greens of freshly awakening nature contrasting starkly with the rich burnt sienna of the South Carolina clay and the rainbow of motorcycles and gear stacked into the starting grid at Silver Hawk Plantation on this fine March morning. That’s a lot of thoughts to cram into ten seconds, eh? But, when you’re fortunate enough to find pure joy bringing activities in your life, time has a way of slowing down when you’re savoring those fine moments, until it doesn’t…then you’re off!
Three months earlier. “Oh no, what a bummer, we were so looking forward to that!”
A common reaction to the quickly spreading news that the 2026 Carolinas White Lighting event had been cancelled just a year removed from a much anticipated, and successful, reboot. This year the event was going to get its mojo back and return to
the stacked rows of yore in its decade plus run of season opening swagger. But alas, sometimes the gotta-do in life gets in the way of the wannado. Knowing these decisions do not come lightly, it is certain that the complex mix of work, health, family, and other obligations that faced long standing event progenitors Greg Holder and Al Roof could not be denied.
Now what? It’s over?
“What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is!” exclaimed Potomac Vintage Riders’ (PVR) Dave Kutskel in a near-perfect rendition of Bluto’s motivational
tirade from 1980’s Animal House. It may not have actually happened this way, but that’s how I choose to remember it. Regardless, this hyperbolic huddle with a grouping of PVR members during January’s AHRMA Mid-Atlantic (MA) Region Awards banquet kickstarted his efforts to salvage an early season AHRMA National Cross Country event in South Carolina. If you remember back to last spring, Dave’s MA and PVR teams played a big part in reviving the White Lighting event after a several year hiatus, so they’ve got some knowledge and experience of the location and its contacts. Conversations accelerated between Dave
and Silverhawk Plantation ownership and land manager Todd McDonald to re-secure the property for the March event dates. At Al and Greg’s request, the White Lightning name was retired in honor of their legacy, and the rebranded Carolinas Firewater Cross Country National was publicized shortly after the cancellation announcement.
This almost didn’t happen. But here we are, just passing by the scoring tent at the completion of lap one and gunning the throttle toward the pine forest beyond the starting area. A short squirt through some tight evergreens is a foreshadowing of things to come, but the lap’s initial stage is certainly dominated by the open blast through a grass field and into a step-up jump that begins a series of motocross style oneeighties.

Here you can really tell the course is rounding into shape nicely. The traction on the red clay is superb. You can lay the bike into the succession of nearly a dozen turns with reckless abandon and still feel like a hero as it sticks and shoots you toward the next turn. Just thirty-six hours ago, a soaking rain had subsided leaving the surface with the friction coefficient of Maxima-marine-grade grease. It’s amazing how quickly the surface tacked up, especially after the lap one traffic flattened and emptied any semblance of lingering mud puddles. Mother Nature had our backs for sure.
Ducking into some woods next, you find a mix of twotrack with incredible worn-in solid berms that have you groovin’ as you flick leftright-left with some jumps and bumps between. A hard left into tighter trail then a WFO rip through a field destined for a large stand of pines where a proper fresh-cut, bar-bangin’ stick farm awaits. Each successive lap generates alternate, faster lines and more flow, but be assured, for mere mortals that field you just passed through is the last time you’ll stretch the throttle cable for a while. Lock-to-lock, keep your body in motion, keep those feet on the pegs and you’re back in the open. Just in time to start another section
blanketed by pine needles. You’ll find this section to be far more open with worn in hot lines that allow enough hustle and flow that you kind of don’t want it to end. This is nearly heaven on a dirt bike. Rocks? What’s a rock? Well, there is a one giant rock shelf that you climb as the grand finale of the perfect pines, and the descent is a doozie of an erosion ditch.
Now we enter the big woods, the ones where the leaves fall every year and the roots grow with each passing lap. The last couple miles weave through towering hardwoods using every trick in the enduro/ cross-country book. Two creek crossings, off-camber goat path, dips, jumps, whoops, roots, logs, and several hill climbs, including one that slithers one hundred feet up one of the tallest hills on the property. Some of this route covered trails that were familiar and had obviously been previously used, but it was all well-healed and interspersed with bits of fresh-cut single track. Again, traction was excellent with hard pack forest floor giving way to dark organic-rich loam and the expected slick conditions on the exit side of the creeks. Plenty of chop and braking bumps developed over time, but there was enough clear terrain on the edges of most trails to seek a smoother line if you had the vision and bravery to explore.
Fun, flowing, and offering plenty of challenge for all skill levels, the 2026 Firewater course was purely amazing. Kudos to property manager Todd McDonald for all his efforts leading up to the event to make sure it was marked and ready to go. He also took the time to reconfigure the loop after Saturday’s racing to substitute a stint on the motocross course for some of the back half woods trail to add some variety to the weekend’s excitement. He’s also got some great motostories to share around a campfire. Another huge thanks for the excellent trail system goes to Brock Kutskel, for acting as his father’s proxy in
helping Todd with the preevent course preparation. A recent culinary school graduate, Brock had recently relocated to the Carolinas for his first job and his convenient proximity to Silverhawk Plantation was a game saver for making the weekend happen.
Additional thanks to the fine Potomac Vintage Riders folks that made the trek south from Pennsylvania to run sign-up, scoring, handle course marking and cleanup; Grant and Jessi Reichart, Kristy Schucker, Doug Van Horn, the aforementioned Dave and Brock K, and a clean-up assist from the Folmar-Laird crew. Thanks to Al Roof for the social media promotion and for handing the keys to PVR for the Firewater re-brand. Attendance was more tepid than hoped but knowing that the current socio-economic pressures and sudden increase in fuel prices may have kept some folks at home, all the riders, friends, and families that attended were very much appreciated. And it is always a great experience sharing the track with the prominent contingent of fine folks proudly representing our dear nation at the Enduro Vintage Trophy event later this year; Fred, Terry, Billy, Marc, Darrell, Red Dog, Clint, Suzy, Joe, and any other I may have missed…go USA! Go Firewater…What a great time, don’t miss it next year!

DRAPER DOUBLE S DOWN IN OKLA HOM A
ROUND 2 - Beta Cross Timbers National Enduro
LOCATION: Oklahoma City, OK
All three pro class winners from round one repeat their performances at round two, with Liam Draper leading the charge and securing the Overall Win in Oklahoma.
The Redline Oil American National Enduro Championship (ANEC) Presented by MSR Racing headed west this weekend to terrain that was unfamiliar with most of our east coast based riders for the Beta Cross Timbers National Enduro hosted by the South Central Area Riders and co sanctioned with the Blackjack Enduro Series.
The conditions in Oklahoma played a major role in the pace of the day. Friday had set a 100 year heat record for the day which continued throughout the weekend. Along with the heat, 30mph winds also contributed to drying the property out and

creating massive amounts of dust for each row of riders to battle through.
AmPro Yamaha’s Liam Draper came into the weekend with the white plate after winning the opener in SC. Draper told us “It’s definitely not the east coast terrain out here and I was a little out of my comfort zone. But I was able to keep it on two wheels and consistent all day and here I am in the middle of(of the podium).” His three test wins on the day afforded him enough of a gap to maintain the back half of the day to make it back to back overall wins in his return to ANEC racing.
Defending Champion, Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Red Bear Racing Kawasaki’s Steward Baylor, once again started out strong by taking the first test win of the day. From there he tested set up changes that put him a little farther off the pace. After changing back for the final test, he was able to best the next closest rider by 24 seconds to secure the number 2 overall spot on the day.

Safety On Site Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Kawasaki rider Grant Baylor kept his podium streak alive for the season by earning third place for the second race in a row. Taking a test win of his own, and riding solid times in the top 3 gave him the consistency to come away in the money and the final podium position.
In the Pro 2 ranks, defending champion, Rocky Mountain ATV/MC Red Bear Racing Kawasaki’s Nick DeFeo dominated the day once again. DeFeo swept all six tests for a second time, making him unbeaten at 12-0 on Pro 2 tests and even notched an overall test win in section 2.
FMF Red Bull KTM’s Jason Tino bested everyone but DeFeo all day, taking the number two spot in all six tests to earn second place overall in the Pro 2 class. Enduro Engineering Triumph’s James Jenkins made his first appearance on the Pro 2 podium in just his second ever race competing in the class.
In the Pro Women class Rockstar Energy Husqvarna’s Korie Steede racked up 5/6 test wins on the day to make it a clean sweep of our pro class repeat winners. Factory Rieju’s Rachel Gutish was able to take the lone test win away from Steede and put herself in the number 2 spot for the day while Enduro Engineering’s Shelby Turner was able to
remain consistent throughout the day earning the third place spot in the Pro Women ranks.
Round 3 of ANEC will take place April 11 & 12, in Centreville, MS for the firstever two-day event at the FMF Farm 14 National Enduro at Kevin Windham’s property.
