Friday night saw the Splatter Wall Competition, which
is unique to the Super Trial. The Splatter Wall is a
wooden platform on hydraulics; starting at 4ft tall, and
raising 6-inch increments until only one rider is able
to complete the challenge. The Splatter Wall was new
for the Women’s class in May, and everything was new
for the fresh Super Youth class, who debuted at this
event. In May, the men’s class was won at 8.5ft by Pat,
the only rider who attempted the height. The women’s
class was won by Kylee Sweeten at 6ft. This weekend,
Pat was joined by 3 other riders at 8.5 feet! And Pat
actually managed to conquer 9ft, although not in the
2 official tries of the competitive event. For the ladies,
all American riders conquered 6.5ft, and Kylee and
Louise Forsley did conquer 7ft, but not with the clean
rides required for the event. The all-new Super Youth
class knocked everyone’s socks off, with Carson Reece
and Dylan Lozano making it to 6.5ft, and Dalton Land
continuing to duke it out with the Men’s class until 8ft!!!
This is especially impressive when you consider that
the Super Youth are all only 15 years old, and Dylan and
Dalton are riding 125cc bikes.
Saturday was another stellar day in Luckenbach for
the Pro Shoot Out. After a local CTTA trial, the Pros got
started on their 7 section show case. After the first 3
sections, Sam Fastle, Andreas Niederer, Kylee Sweeten,
and Carson Reece were knocked out of the competi-
tion. After the next 3 sections, Will Myers and Maddie
Hoover were knocked out of the event, leaving only
5 men, 2 women, and 2 youth to head into the grand
