By Ashley Jackson, on March 30th, 2013 We’ve had three very productive work crew days the past three months, preparing the sections for the 2013 FIM Trials World Championship (The Wagner Cup!) here at the TTC on May 25-26. A big thanks to everyone who’s helped. Here are some photos from those days:

Trials, Inc., “the premier trials club of the central USA,” fielded observers for 4 sections each day. They even had their own club banner strung up at each section. Right photo: Trials Inc. Section captain Jim Zuroske (right) with Paul Thistle (Blue Ridge Yamaha & Polaris) who ran the shuttle service.
By Trials USGP, on April 28th, 2008  I blogged earlier about the signs and banners guys, Tim Cash and John Haywood. It turns out, those guys are bridge builders, too.
John was doing the 4-wheeler shuttle service on Saturday and dropped me off near one of the footbridges that he and Tim built just for the event.
By Trials USGP, on April 28th, 2008 Not only did the Rhode Island Trials Club do the tech inspection (see blog post), but a subgroup of them were the backbone of the emergency medical services for the event.
  
Left: I witnessed a bad crash by a Youth Class rider on Section 9 on Sunday. Had he landed on his back or tailbone, it would’ve been very serious and the medical team would’ve sprung into action. Luckily, the rider’s thigh hit the rock and he was able to walk in a few minutes.
Center: Dr. Herbert J. “Hub” Brennan, double checking the EMS radios on Saturday.
Right: Jeff Salois, Carl “Coach” Swanson, and Hub Brennan as the prepared to depart the TTC lodge this morning.

As the event’s MC, Paul Crowder’s voice could be heard everywhere this weekend, announcing each rider as they departed, doing the live-action ‘play by play’ out on the loop, and handling the trophy ceremony on Sunday.

By Trials USGP, on April 25th, 2008 In about 30 minutes, we’re having a big BBQ for the FIM ‘dignitaries’ with all the fixin’s. These are the folks (fellow Minnesotans) who spent most of the day preparing the food.
 
Left: Mike O’Donnell, head chef Shaun O’Donnell, and Karen Garrett.
Right: Shaun and his pappy!
By Trials USGP, on April 25th, 2008  Here’s a smiling fellow Minnesotan, Steve Ahlers, veteran organizer of three Wagner Cups at Spirit Mountain in Duluth, MN earlier this decade. (That’s RITC’s Bill Mathewson and Hub Brennan with him).
Steve remarked how much he enjoys coming to World Rounds, having no organizational responsibilities whatsoever. He still volunteers, though. He’s checking a section on Saturday.

Volunteers Becky Melton and Carey Roberts dolled up the manikins yesterday for the window display.
By Trials USGP, on April 25th, 2008  The tech inspector team from the Rhode Island Trials Club did the inspections this morning. I’ll have a photo album/slideshow shortly but here’s the team (click photo to enlarge):
