Vertigo Titanium bikes finally hit US shores here at lewisportusa--what an awesome machine this is--dosnt get any better!
Here are a few pics of our sunday BAC cup trial--weather was cold and wet--not what these CA boys are used to at all--but a good time was had by all, thank you all for braving the weather and riding the event and of course all the checkers that worked out there in the rain and cold just so you guys could ride!
On the Friday before the weekend we had a trainning class with lewisportusa rider and dealer Dustin Land--here a re a few pics and a write up sent in from Desmond Amick who attended Dustins class.
I recently attended the Dustin Land Trials Training Class hosted by Mandy & Adrian Lewis of LewisportUSA in Copperopolis, CA. As a Novice trials rider (Sportsman B / 3 Line) is was alittle daunting to take my first class, especially with the fact it had been raining most of the week with no sight of letting up for Fridays class. I have enough on my hands riding in the dry. The prospect of riding at a location unknown to me, in rainy conditions and cold overcast temperatures, was not my idea of learing more about trials. But, what a great weekend it turned out to be!
So, snugged up in long underwear, trials gear, and some disposable FroggTogg rain gear, I set out with a most positive attitude to brave the elements and give it a go! It’s like a Scottish Six Day, right? Adrian would hardly consider this as anything more then damp! As the morning began, while still chilly and overcast, the rain had quieted for the moment and we all gathered for an on-time start at 10:00am. Adrian and Mandy greeted everyone, approximately 15-20 of us, and introduced us to Vertigo sponsored Dustin Land from Wichita, Kansas. Dustin is a very accomplished multiple-winning NATC Trials Expert and I was very much looking forward to this, rain or shine!
There was a mixture of novice riders, intermediate, and advanced riders. Dustin started with some bike setup basics and the reasoning behind it. For the novices benefit, and impressing the importance of trials fundamentals to all, we discussed various riding basics, body positioning, and balance, moving directly to practicing tight turns in both directions. With everyone warmed up at that point Dustin took us to several riding sections, mapping out novice, intermediate, and advanced lines and we took turns riding and getting instruction on approach, technique, and improvements at each of our levels. Watching others and hearing the critiques, tips and pointers, was helpful and each time it was my turn Dustin was sharp and focused. He was very good at giving the right instruction, and encouragement, at the right time and if I wasn’t sure he would detail out what was needed in a way I could understand.
We did this at several sections throughout the day, always with novice, intermediate, and advanced sections for each, and great instruction. Nobody wanted to break for lunch. We were supposed to work for 4 hours in the class, but Dustin said he was having fun, glad to work with this great bunch of riders, and would go till we were done! After the first sections, it drizzled rain a bit, on and off. No big deal. Then it actually hailed till a white layer of kernels covered a lot of the ground, but I was warm, happily riding and learning, with pretty good traction, and no desire to quit. Then, it rained briefly and heavily on our last section of the day. We had been approaching a wet clay creek and hillside section from all angles, going down hill, turning tight, and then climbing abruptly up about 10 to 12 feet. The hard rain finally turned it a mud hill and most everyone, including Dustin broke into some of the funniest, and technical, riding of all. Uphill, down hill, across the hill, camber turns, and a slippery mess till we all gave in to the elements. I think we finally shut the class down at around 4:30pm.
Going into the day I was not sure what to expect based on the weather, my novice experience, and it being my first trials training class. The Dustin Land training was excellent. There was plenty of riding and instruction through many different types of sections and I learned a lot not only in spite of the conditions, but because of them. It turned out to be a great day and well worth it. Hey, I won my Level 3 class the next day! Thank you Dustin. And, thanks to LewisportUSA’s Adrian & Mandy for hosting this class. I understand other trials training classes are in the works, including multi-World Champion Dougie Lampkin.

Well, its been a couple of weeks since the 2018 Scottish Six Day trial and finally i have returned home and able to catch up with some stuff on the web, many folks have asked for pics and info on the SSDT so here are a few pics and daily coverage videos for those who don't know what the SSDT is or just want to see more!
Note-- this account is based on an "old" average level rider ---no spring chicken here!!!
This year was my 10th SSDT and at 60 yrs old with NO practice or training i was a little apprehensive to say the least-- and-- on top of that it was a wet one!--- the moors and bogs were hard, VERY hard-- for those here in the USA it is extremely difficult to explain what a Scottish peat bog is-- there is simply really nothing like it here!, for those of you who have done the SSDT you know exactly what i mean, these things are bottomless and if you manage to go into one ( and you will) they are very hard to get out of-- and very energy sucking which doesn't help as you are already exhausted for just trying to avoid them!
We all watch the videos and think, "Yeah!" i could ride that section, not that hard !---and , if fresh and fit! maybe there not-- but be aware-- the videos you see are generally were people can get to !--what you don't see are the miles of hard graft between the section groups and no one gets to see a lot of the groups as they are just to far of the beaten track in the wilderness!
Its not the weather on the day that is the major contributing factor to riding the SSDT--the sections yes, they do alter fairly quickly with water level and severity based on the local weather, but more so the month or two leading up to the event will depict how hard the going will be---this was an exceptionally wet lead up to the event making the event harder than usual.
For the 2 other riders that were with me from here ,Jon Berlin his 3rd SSDT and also Bert, his first SSDT i think although tough, we all finished and now looking back i can say it was fun, that's the thing about the SSDT, it can be like a drug to some folk!---YES, it is painful and hard and wet and cold and quite often you think "What was i thinking" ,some never return again! BUT, some of us do , cant explain why, i think if you are into trials then there is simply NOTHING like it--- and you HAVE to return!
New TRS "GOLD" edition, now available to special order-- only a limited number of these beautiful example of trials machine will be available in the USA--priced at $9975 available in 300/280/250 cc models,--order yours now!
Some pics of a very special build by Dustin Land, starting with a 2017 VERTIGO "Combat Camo 250" and transforming an already beautiful machine into a stunning one!.
A few things changed include Boysen carbon race reeds, black anodized frame, new graphics, Fajaredo header pipe, new mapping gold jitsie forks and much more.
Vertigo is really proud to unveil the Vertigo Combat Dougie Lampkin Replica, a direct descendant from the victories Vertigo and Lampkin himself have taken in the last three editions of the SSDT (Scottish Six Days Trial), the most emblematic race of world trials. This new model follows the main Vertigo values, which are design and innovation, but this time, introducing all the experience and wisdom from Dougie Lampkin’s successful career, who currently is the ambassador and developer for the brand and 12 World Champion, plus record holder of 11 victories in the SSDT.
Another aspect to take into account is that this Dougie Lampkin replica features a white tubular frame of 15CDV6 aluminium in colour white, which will provide its future riders a great handling of the bike. Following the same line as in former models, Vertigo has put special attention in light weighting the components in order to offer a light bike, for that reason, once again the clutch and engine covers have been mounted by injection. The injection management has also gone through interesting modifications. Here we can find the addition of a switch that allows to select a double optimized map developed jointly with Dougie Lampkin, which gives to the final user the chance to benefit from the large experience in competition of our brand ambassador.
Engine and clutch covers in injection in order to reduce the total weight.
Front fork Tech Alu in gold.
New injection map with double map switch.
Adjustable fork clamps and new steering geometry.
Orders for this VERY unique special limited edition are now being taken both us here at lewisportusa and your local Vertigo dealers, we are not sure how many of these we can get here in the USA so please do not hesitate to get your name on the list for this very unique bike.

2016 Scottish Six Day Trial--well!--what a week it has been --here are a few videos of each day and some pictures I took whilst riding.
Having lived here and ridden the SSDT many times before this has been a 16 year break from the last time i rode the SSDT and i must admit by far the hardest !
I went into this knowing it was going to be tough!--and to be honest with suffering from arthritis now in both knees not knowing if a finish was going to be achievable.
My two companions Bill Merritt and Jon Berlin were both first timers and a life long dream for them to compete in the SSDT.
When you watch the videos and look at the pictures it all seems quite straight forward doesn't it?------cant be that hard right?----well i hate to shatter your elusions but this is hard--VERY HARD! There is NO other trial that begins to compare with the severity of this event both in length / physically /mechanically and mentally.
Around 100 miles a day , in the first week of May in the Scottish highlands can be interesting weather!-- and this year did not let us down--we had sun , rain ,snow, hail, wind , oh and did i mention rain!!!
We all started late on the first day (times change each day) and rain somewhat cautious of what we were getting into--and as the week progressed my companions learnt all about the things i had told them, but now it was for real!
This stuff is EVERYWHERE!----there is NOTHING anywhere in the US that begins to compare with this stuff--you have to just experience it--some are hard enough to walk on--some are soft enough to completley engulf a bike-- and rider!
I knew what we were in for on Monday being late-- good going in the 30+ sections but hard going on the moors because of the 250+ riders that had been through in front of us, Bill and Jon unfortunately did not! and soon got there first taste of what was install for the next 5 days!
Bill unfortunatly went out on Wednesday with some carpul tunnel issues and sat out the horrendous Thursday long Rannoch moor day and the rest of the week.
Both Jon and i carried on and finished the event, exhausted , excited , thankful!
In summary--- it was a GREAT week in the Scottish highlands-great to see MANY old friends here---would i do it again?--i WILL return!---this event is simply THE biggest trials event in the world--MUCH appreciation to the organizers and folks that take time to actually put the is event on and make it happen-- it ran flawlessly as always, also to Team Vertigo Uk for the bikes and the team truck and mechanics / helpers that made this week possibly---THANK YOU ALL!
