Szoke Scores Another Trials Victory in Font Hill Ontario

Saturday evening the Szokes pulled into one of Jordan’s favorite riding spots in Font Hill Ontario for the CMA sanctioned Observed Trials event organized by Dan Fargo and Jean Bancroft.  Jordan and Amy were greeted by the friendly faces of the bovine and equine variety as we invaded their sanctuary for the weekend.

While Jordan, Dan ,and the Abell boys were busy preparing the sections, Amy Szoke crunched in some much needed practice for her very first trials event.  All competitors wee crossing their fingers that the falling raindrops would disappear overnight.  Waking up to sunshine on Sunday morning they were not disappointed, as conditions were ideal for the seven section four loop event which would take up most of the afternoon.

At lunchtime, the Szokes mashed their scorecards into their boots and took off down the trail to start their first loop.  Starting in the rocks, Jordan got off to a great start hopping his way to a  
respectable score half way through the day. “I find Trials such good training for everything two wheels.  It teaches you patience and control, and I carry those lessons forward into my roadracing.” says  
Jordan.

As the day wore on, the scores dropped steadily as the competitors became familiar with the sections.  In Trials you are not permitted to practice on the carefully laid out sections, but competitors re-ride  
them as they complete their required loops. “The first two loops were not so good for me.” smiles Amy “I was so nervous that I kept messing up on the simplest things.  Jordan was super patient with me, and I  
was able to work the bugs out.  Once I relaxed I rode so much better in the afternoon.”

Jordan finishes his day with a score of 35, earning him first place in the Expert class and yet another victory for the season.  His Sunday loop companions Andrew Young scored a 69 for second place and Will  
Abell secured 3rd place with a score of 90. “Thanks to Dan and Jean for putting on such a great [WINDOWS-1252?]event.” says Jordan. “I can’t wait to compete on our next two day national event, where I get a chance to defend my #1 plate. It’s pretty cool to have the championships in the fastest and slowest 2-wheel disciplines in Canada.”  Jordan is also currently defending his Canadian National Pro Sport Bike and Superbike Roadracing Championships for the 5th year running.

Amy scores a 67 for her day in the Junior class, with a handful of “clean’s” (no score) and a few “one’s”(one foot down).  “I want to thank my husband for riding with me and keeping my score!” laughs Amy. 
“Without his support, I’m not sure if I would have been able to finish.”

Watch for Jordan defending his CMA Trials Championship at Round #2/3 in Tweed/Arden Ontario Canada on Aug 21-22 2010.
