It's conclusive. Stop attending skills training. :p

Hi All, We are doing GrizzBait ride this year, we have a critcal mass of riders already booked to attend. Generally, it's Alaska border to Vancouver in 8 days, hitting as little pavement as possible on the way down. We did this in 2014 and it was, by far, our most EPIC adventure yet. Check...

Hi All, A rider may be canceling with short notice on our BC trip. If that's the case, we'll have one slot open on the trailer. Terrace BC to North VanCity in 7 days - 90% off-road. This is DEFINITELY a dualsport ride NOT an off-road ride. 300-400kms per day, remote areas, vistas, cool...

For Sale: 2006 Yamaha TTR125 LE. Ridiculously low hours; still on the original tires and they're in great shape due to 2 novice female owners. Tall Renthal bars with Acerbis wrap around hand guards, tall Guts seat, BBR frame cradle, chain guide and springs. Jetted properly (way too lean stock)...

Hi All, The Traction eRag is back. I used to distribute the issues here but haven't been around in a while. If interested, here are the past issues: http://issuu.com/scotiadallas/docs Long story short, I broke my leg badly in a bike crash 18 months ago and then I thought I was leaving...

Hello Everyone, I am helping to co-ordinate an off-road riding trip to Nevada during the first week of April. We are doing this on the cheap. No fancy rooms, no fancy food. This trip is all about the riding. Our group riding level is from low-intermediate to advanced and almost anyone...

After many years with this bike, I'm forced to sell. I would not be selling but I am leaving the area and I can't take it with me. This bike was well used for it's intended purpose but has never been raced - a trail ride machine only. There are cosmetic dings and scratches but the plastics...

It's my first real ride of the year, I'm wondering if anyone wants to do a day in Calabogie (or anything else interesting). D

Hi All, For the last two year's, my wife and I attended the SCORRA Women's day. It was a great event held just outside of Barrie, ON. It's an all-female training day with female instructors and all female participants. Learning to ride a dirt bike can be intimidating for anyone - let...

I need two volunteers to help me at the registration table on Friday from 4 or 5pm until 11pm and than again on Saturday morning from 8am until 9am. It's mostly meet and greet, a bit of paperwork. This year I really want to make the registration line flow well and get the riders on their way...

Hi All, August 17th at 9:30am at the North Pit. Tom, Jeff A and Jeff P will be working on the final trail clearing for the North side. If you can get away for a mid-week ride they would love an extra set of hands. Also, you will get to know the North side trail system. Try to bring...
