Storz Performance Trials Demo Team Motorcycle trials is a sport that requires highly developed rider skills in the areas of balance, clutch, throttle, and brake control. The object of the game is for the rider to pass through a series of obstacles placed within specific boundaries, which are called sections, without having to put his feet down to help him. Each time he puts a foot down he is penalized 1 point up to a maximum of 5 points per section. At the conclusion of the competition, the rider with the fewest points wins. Neil and Eric Storz have been riding trials for more than 10 years. They are Expert level competition riders who started in the sport at ages 6 & 8. Their dedication and endless hours of practice have earned 4 Youth National Championships as well as several local championships. Eric has just begun to compete in World Championship Trials, scoring championship points in his first event. The boys were started in the sport by their father, Steve Storz, who has worked in the motorcycle industry for nearly 40 years. His business, Storz Performance, supplies motorcyclists with racing quality accessories for Harley, Buell, and Sportbike applications.
