VMC Reg Shanks Trial Mar22/09
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009Well, the 2nd event of the year for the VMC was another great event in many ways. Beautiful warm weather for this time of year, and a well thought out and enjoyable trial. The results showed that Matts win in round 1 was no fluke. His margin of victory was increased over the last event in the intermediate class. Checking the scores, Matt even knocked off a couple of guys in the Sen. Intermediate class that he had previously never beaten. He continues to improve in leaps and bounds in several areas. The most notibly is his aggression with the throttle and riding bigger obstacles, and being comfortable riding on the back wheel. That now added with his unbelievable balance and concentration in the sections, is becoming a potent combination!
The next weekend ahead will be filled with final set-up for the Joe Brown Memorial Trial, the first ISTC event of the year. A good result there too will help build some big confidence and motivation to train hard from now until the first WEC National in Summerland in May!
