The Midwest Trials Association's goal is to provide competitive motorcycle observed trials events in Nebraska and to unify the rules of these events. Beyond competition day, the club offers training sessions focused on riding safety and sportsmanlike conduct within the sport.
Course design, registration, the rulebook, and training are all handled by this volunteer team.
Trials is a non-speed motorcycle event: riders navigate a marked section of natural obstacles — rock, logs, water — and lose points only for putting a foot down. It's one of the most popular motorcycle disciplines in the UK and Spain, and MWTA runs its Nebraska rounds under the NATC national series. Modern trials bikes are lightweight and seatless, ridden standing the whole way through.
