In this week’s Throwback we travel back to 1982 and the U.S. round of the World Observed Trials Championship held in Norden, California. This photo shows American Observed Trials star Bernie Schreiber negotiating a challenging creek section of the course on his SWM trials machine. Schreiber had a strong outing at his home country event, finishing second to Belgian Eddy Lejeune. Schreiber, who was world champ in 1979, earned podium finishes in 10 or the 12 world championship rounds that year on his way to finishing second to Lejeune in the final standings.
