 Background: The NATC Hall of Fame is the highest honor of the Council. The members are outstanding trials riders and those who have been of great service to the sport. The motto PRAESTANTES JUDICIO ET SERVICE means outstanding trials and service. The aim of the Hall of Fame is designed to preserve the past, honor excellence and connect generations. Updates: When I took over maintaining the NATC web site I noticed a lot of the HOF pages contained just a photo and nothing else. So I've been slowly adding content to these blank pages and it is time to bring some of these great stories up to the front page versus languishing in the back pages. Here are links to the most recent updates:
Going Forward: There are many more members' pages that need updating and we get to about 6-8 per year since this is a project we work on in our spare time. Going forward I'll post updates similar to this one as we get a batch of them completed. My thanks go out to Wiltz Wagner, Bernie Schreiber, Martin Belair, John Moffat, Scott Head, Jon Stoodley, Ted Gansberger and Howard Galbreath for their assistance in getting this batch updated.

 As the 2022 season comes to a close, many champions were crowned and memories made - we are proud of every one of our finishers! The top Men's and Women's athletes also compete for a spot on the coveted USA Trials Des Nations Team. The Trial Des Nations is an annual international competition hosted by the FIM which sees the top 3 riders from every country for both men and women compete for top spot on the podium! The competition is a team style no-stop trials event where the 3 riders each get an attempt at every section (15 sections, 2 loops) but only the top 2 out of 3 rides on each section count for score. This strategic competition gives the competition a unique feel and the international comradery is second to none!
We are pleased to announce the following will be our team for this years TDN in Monza, Italy on September 24 & 25, 2022: Women's Team: Maddie Hoover, Kylee Sweeten, and Courtney Allison Men's Team: Josh Roper, Daniel Blanc-Gonnet, and Alex Myers. The team has created a go-fund-me in an effort to alleviate the tremendous cost associated with competing overseas - Please consider donating to help these great athletes represent the USA on the world trials stage! https://gofund.me/5bb46b69 Follow along the journey on their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/USATrialDesNations  After considerable discussion, it has been decided that there will not be additional events scheduled to make up for the cancelled Colorado National rounds. Many people were consulted including manufacturer teams, riders, potential host organizations, as well as NATC officers, volunteers and board members. It was felt that there is just too much risk involved in trying to put together a successful and well attended National under current circumstances.
Again, I would like to thank everyone at the Rocky Mountain Trials Association (RMTA) for all the effort they put into the Colorado National. It was going to be a superb event and hopefully we’ll be able to return to Colorado in the near future. The 2022 AMA/NATC MotoTrials Series will continue as scheduled with Rounds 7 & 8 (Eastern Regional Rounds 3 & 4) on June 11th/12th in Gilbert, MN. This will conclude the 2022 AMA/NATC National Series. AMA Western Regional awards will be based on the California rounds. Andy Saum CEO North American Trials Council  𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝘆𝗲𝘁?
