AMA Announces 2009 AMA Racing/NATC Observed Trials National Championship Series Schedule
 

PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) announced today the 2009 schedule for the eight-round AMA Racing/NATC Observed Trials National Championship Series, as well as the dates for the Eastern and Western Youth Championships.

Riders vying for national titles in several age-, skill- and machine-based classes in the AMA Racing/NATC Observed Trials National Championship Series will begin their campaigns on May 30-31 in Nehawka, Neb. In the East, top youth trials riders will face off July 3-5 in Sequatchie, Tenn., while in the West, youth titles will be decided on Aug. 8-10 in Cotopaxi, Colo.

"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 Off-Road Director Chuck Weir. "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 Nebraska, the AMA Racing/NATC Observed Trials National Championship Series will go to Sequatchie, Tenn., for rounds three and four; Swanton, Vt., for rounds five and six; and Cayuta, N.Y., for rounds seven and eight.
