In the East, top youth trials riders will face off July 2-4 in Sequatchie, Tenn., while in the West, youth titles will be decided on July 17-19 in Las Vegas, N.M.

“The feats that these riders achieve on their motorcycles, from scaling vertical cliffs to crossing seemingly impassable rock gardens, will keep any fan coming back for more,” said AMA Director of Racing Joe Bromley. “Trials is one of the oldest forms of motorcycle sport, and we’re excited to begin another year in the storied history of this incredible discipline.”

From Oklahoma, the AMA Racing/NATC Observed Trials National Championship Series will go to Exeter, R.I., for rounds three and four; Cayuta, N.Y., for rounds five and six; Pueblo, Colo., for rounds seven and eight; and Norden, Calif., for rounds nine and 10. The complete schedule, as well as contact information for the East and West Youth Championships, is below.
