Dejavu! 2007 was a good year for Josiah Mizell of Teammizell. After the dust settled on the Annual AMA Youth National Championship series , he was again the overall champion, same as last year. Josiah is the first Youth to ever win the series for 2 years. This years course was again a bit "soft" with mostly very technical sections and not a lot of large obstacles. This kept the scores low and made the competition very tight. Josiah won the event riding his GasGas 280. His twin brother Caleb, came in a respectable 4th place riding a GasGas 125 in the same class. Younger brother David, took top honors riding in the Advance class on his GasGas 280. Little brother Zeke (10 yrs) placed 3rd in the Youth C- class.
Cleveland Youth wins National Motorcycle Competition Two Cleveland area youths win top honors in the 2006 Youth National championship, becoming the first Texans to win the honor since the conception of the competition. Each year the Youth National Championship series for Observed Motorcycle Trials competition is held during the 4th of July week, with young athletes traveling from all parts of the United States to partake in the competition held in the mountains of Tennessee. With several days of training sessions preceding the series-competition, many of the young riders spend their week wrestling the motorcycles through the tough terrain in the Sequatchie Valley located near Chattanooga preparing themselves for the 3 day series. Balance and technique are used to manipulate the bike over the rouged, slick, and sometimes wet rocks in a narrow area designated for the section. Any time a foot touches the ground a negative point is received by the rider and at the end of the day, the low score wins. Lots of practice gave the Mizell twins opportunity to show their talent and bring home 1st place in each respective class, Caleb winning the 14 year old class, and Josiah winning the overall open-class championship. Caleb Mizell rode his gasgas 280cc trials motorcycle in the 14 yr old class and was able to finish 1st on all three days by a comfortable margin. Josiah rode in the open class against boys age through 16 , and was able to place 1st, on day one, 4th on day two, and 1st again, on day three, winning the series by a narrow margin! Both boys will be honored at the annual AMA Amateur Championship Banquet in Las Vegas this year in November, along with top amateur champions of other motorcycle sports. As far as we know , Josiah and Caleb are the only twins currently competing in observed Motorcycle Trials. They are also riding the AMA national series in the high-school class and are in close podium position. The last 2 rounds of the series are scheduled in Rhode Island, August 23-24th.
