Who Is the STTA?

The South Texas Trials Association is one of six trials clubs across the state who regularly organize local events in their area for both modern and vintage bikes.  In addition, the clubs put on cooperative events such as "The Summer Series", "The Fall Classic", "The Novice Cup", "The President's Cup", and "The Texas State Series of Observed Trials".

The STTA has a core group of members that actively keep the club going, and ride together regularly.  Most weekends you will typically find us practicing out at Rio Bravo, in Northeast Houston.  There will be a posting on the Texas-Trials Yahoo Group stating the time and date, so feel free to come out and join us anytime.

    Foxit PDF Document Reader

Most of the documents you find on the Texas Trials Website, and others on the Internet, are stored in Adobe's PDF (Portable Document Format) file format.  For those who do not own Adobe's Acrobat PDF creation software, there has always been the free Adobe Reader tool, but it is a huge download.  Not only does this take up space on your computer, but for those still on a dial-up internet connection, the download time is extensive.

The good news is that there is a great alternative from Foxit Software.  Their FREE Foxit Reader software is just a fraction of the size. After first hearing of the tool in a PCWORLD Magazine article, I have been using it at home, and work.  The small file size means that it loads up quick, and you don't have to endure Adobe's splash screen every time you start up your reader!
