Moto trials involve riders tackling severe, difficult terrain and obstacles. Trials competitions consist of several marked sections. The Rhode Island Trials Club is part of the New England Trials Association (NETA). Even though moto trials are an intense sport, NETA’s local clubs have classes for riders of all skill levels from beginners through expert competitors. Moto trials at RITC and similar clubs can also be great cross-training for enduro, motocross, and other dirt bike sports. Membership is required to participate in RITC practices and trials.
