Beta USA Wraps Up 2026 NATC Season in Ohio!

“The Ohio national was an exciting one! The sections the first day were incredible with a good mix of technical and big rocks. My riding was on point aside from some silly dabs in setups. I was able to take the win and the Championship! A mechanical on day two took me out of it unfortunately, but I was able to help Bennett on his first day of the red line where he was able to take the win! Huge thanks to Beta USA for everything and congratulations to the team on a great year!”

“The final rounds of the 2026 NATC season in Ohio was wild. Saturday was a little slick but not muddy, with sections being technical with some big ups. I had a great time, rode my best and learned somethings to work on. I got second place and ready for the rain. Sunday was the muddiest condition I have ever rode. The sections similar to Saturday but with bigger hits. I thought I could ride in the mud, but that all changed. It was a grueling day. I tried my best in the sections I thought I could ride, and I played it safe in the others. I got second place again and learned even more things to work on. Overall I had a good weekend and year. Got my first podium in the expert class and I think 3rd in the championship. Big thanks to the checkers for standing out in the rain and mud all day. Thank you Trials Inc for putting on an awesome trial and for cheering me on. Thank you Beta USA, Cole and Chris Cullins for the great support this year. Can’t wait to come back swinging next year.”

“Bittersweet is the term that come to mind describing the national finals this weekend in Ohio. I came into this round with a healthy points lead in both the east coast championship as well as the national overall standings. I put a ton of fitness training in during the break between nationals as well as the D6 championship back home in Pa. I felt great both days this weekend physically and mentally and determined to make a statement.

I went 4/1/1 for the day Saturday putting a sizable nail in the coffin on the eastern title as well as the overall National Championship. The conditions were perfect for me with the loose hillsides and slippery green rocks I’m accustomed to riding back home.

Sunday I could relax and just have fun after having the title in hand. The rain overnight brought everyone’s fears of a muddy mess to reality. I settled in and made the best of the terrain and had an absolute blast. My Sincro didn’t disappoint even after an. Unfortunate collision with a rock face that shattered my clutch cover on the last loop.

Huge thanks to Chris in the pits for helping me fix it and get back out to finish although I had to punch 5s for most of the loop to finish in time. Even with that delay I rode well enough the first two loops to coast into a comfortable second place for the day, on par with my worst finishes for the entire season.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Beta USA, the Cullins boys, Dave Diehl Beta Sales, my wife Emily and family for all the support and encouragement this season allowing me to achieve my goal of 20 national championship titles in the sport I so dearly love.

It was an amazing time and opportunity to ride for the Beta Factory team since 2018!

Looking forward to next season.”

“The location for rounds 7 & 8 of the AMA NATC Mototrials series finale is special to me. A long time ago, I raced my first off road race there and not that long ago, I rode trials for the first time there as well. I started out with unnecessary 3’s in straightforward sections so I buckled down and started to get more cleans. I cut my 2nd loop score by more than half going 16/7/10 which landed me in second place, 4 points off first place. I really wanted to win, but my first loop had too many mistakes. Sunday was one of the muddiest trials that I have done. Some sections did not have a single rider make it through. I’ve had many trials bikes, but the 2026 Factory Sincro 300 is by far the gnarliest trials bike that I have ever had. I put it 3rd and 4th gear, held it open, and dug through the mud and it shot me up ledges and hills unlike anything I have ridden before. It was pure fun! I ended up p1 Sunday. Big shoutout to Chris Cullins who got me going quickly after a flat tire and to Cole Cullins for ensuring that we had everything we needed for us to be at our best. Congrats to all my teammates on a fantastic year and a special thank you to Beta USA for all the support.”

“I had a great time being back at Trials Nationals with the Beta team! My last National was back in 2019, so it felt great to be back and finish second both days! I got more comfortable throughout the weekend and was able to keep improving as the event went on. Im looking forward to this winter for the 2027 season.”

“This past weekend in Ohio I finished P3 on Day 1. My first and third loops were some of the best riding I’ve done this season, and I was happy with how I attacked the sections. Sections were fun all day and featured a lot of big hits that I enjoyed tackling. Day 2 didn’t go my way and I ended up with a DNF, but I’m taking a lot of good riding and lessons from the weekend into the next round. The Beta 250 Sincro worked perfectly all weekend. Thank you to team manager Cole Cullins and mechanic Chris Cullins for the support, and to my minder Eric Olmstead for letting me go for every line and try everything.”

“The Ohio National was definitely an event to remember. On Saturday, I rode pretty good and didn’t make too many mistakes. I had one dumb five on my first loop, but other than that my day went pretty well. I ended the day with 8 points and first place in JES. On Sunday, I bumped up to junior expert. It was by far the most slippery event I have ever ridden. I had a lot of fives. There were many sections that I couldn’t even get moving in because it was so slick, but I had fun and had some good rides. Thank you to everyone who made nationals happen this year. A huge thanks to everyone at Beta for all the support throughout the year!”

“I really enjoyed my weekend competing in Toronto, Ohio! I felt good about my riding, but the competition was equally strong, leaving me 16th Saturday and 10th Sunday. An early Saturday crash injured my hand but didn’t directly affect my riding. Sunday’s deep mud really highlighted the amazing torque and traction of my Beta 300 4-Stroke, helping me move up the standings. Great experience, lots of fun, and a huge thanks to Cole, Chris Collins, and Beta USA for an excellent season of support!”
