The sport is called "Observed Trials", which is not a speed race, but a test of skill. The riders go around a course, and along the way they have to ride through a number of "sections" - think of golf, where you go around the course and along the way you have a number of "holes" that you have to play. When you get to a section, you ride through it and are scored on how well you do. Every time you put a foot down you are given one point, to a maximum of 3. If you crash or go out of bounds, you get 5 points. At the end of the event, the low score wins - just like golf. My dad was a top national rider in the 60's and 70's, and I've been competing also since I was in single digits. My wife also competes, which is how we met. This particular event was a very easy local one that focused on vintage machines. It was perfect for practicing some sports photography, and also for trying the Nikon 3D autofocus tracking. It worked very, very well I'm happy to say. Rather challenging conditions with variable light in the middle of the woods, but it was no problem.[ATTACH=full]379256[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]379266[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]379257[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]379267[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]379268[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]379258[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]379259[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]379260[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]379261[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]379262[/ATTACH]Several lady riders also:[ATTACH=full]379263[/ATTACH]My dad spectating:[ATTACH=full]379264[/ATTACH]Everyone has fun <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />[ATTACH=full]379265[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
