Here are some extracts from Barry Florin:

Here is a brief history of how this all transpired;

I was contacted by several ABC sports representatives several months ago about the sport of trials and how impressive the rider's abilities were.  They wanted to know if it would be possible to have several of my best riders on the "Master of Champions" show to do a version of an indoor trials competition. 

Over a several week period, we worked out a scenario of obstacles based on what the riders could do with the trials bikes.....and with Chris and Keith, pretty much anything was possible, much to their amazement. 

ABC flew Chris and Keith out to Los Angeles, provided for all their needs (they even got paid) and shipped their bikes out also.  They had two days of practice and section tune-up (Tuesday and Wednesday) and then the live show was on Thursday.

Millions of people will see this show and will be made aware of the Sport of Trials, so this should be a big shot in the arm for the sport, as well as "Star" status for Chris and Keith!  So, be sure to tune in to the ABC channel next Thursday evening at 8:00 EST.  You might want to check your TV guide to be sure of the channel and time for this show.
