Florida Trials Association
The Florida Trials Association is a family-friendly club dedicated to the sport of observed motorcycle trials. Whether you’re a casual rider looking for a fun day out, completely new to trials, or a serious competitor, we welcome riders of all ages and skill levels. Our goal is simple — to provide enjoyable, well-organized trials events in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.
Riders choose the level of difficulty, or “line,” that best suits their ability, from novice and intermediate through sportsman, advanced, expert and champ. Moto-trials is all about balance, control and precision rather than outright speed, making it a challenging and rewarding sport for riders of virtually any age. It’s also an excellent way to develop bike-handling skills and cross-train for other forms of motorcycle riding.
We normally hold six championship point-scoring events each year, together with several non-championship fun events. One of the highlights of our calendar is our annual two-day Fun In The Sun event in March, which attracts riders from across Florida and many other states.
New to trials? Come and give it a try. You don’t need to be an expert or have years of competition experience. Our events are welcoming to newcomers, and there are classes and sections designed to allow riders to progress at their own pace. Whether you want to compete for championship points or simply enjoy riding with a great group of motorcycle enthusiasts, there’s a place for you at the Florida Trials Association.
What Is Moto Trials?
Forget outright speed — trials is all about skill. It’s you, the motorcycle and a series of challenging sections where balance, control and precision are everything. Rocks, logs, steep climbs, tight turns and natural terrain become the course, and the challenge is simple: get through without putting your feet down.
The beauty of trials is that you don’t have to be an expert to enjoy it. Different routes allow everyone from first-time riders to seasoned competitors to tackle the same event at a level that suits them.
Because trials is focused on control rather than outright speed, riders can build their skills progressively in a structured environment, with appropriate protective equipment and safety always an important part of the sport.
It’s challenging, addictive and one of the best ways to develop genuine motorcycle control and confidence. Never tried trials? Come out and watch an event. Meet the riders, see the bikes up close and discover just how much fun you can have at walking speed.
