Build Better Trials Sections. Build Better Riders.

Build Better Sections teaches the fundamentals of effective trials section design for both competition and practice, created in collaboration with Ben Eudy. Learn how to read terrain, control difficulty across classes, and build sections that are efficient, minimize risk, and properly test skill.

• Design sections riders actually enjoy riding
• Control difficulty across classes with confidence
• Build practice sections that develop specific techniques

Watch how Build Better Sections works

In this short video, I’ll walk you through how Build Better Sections works, what you’ll learn inside, and how it will change the way you design sections for both events and practice sessions.

Most sections are either boring, punishing, or unsafe

Great trials sections don’t happen by accident. If you’ve ever worried that your lines are too easy, too punishing, or simply not appropriate for the class, you’re not alone. Most trials masters and riders are guessing, copying old sections, or reacting on the fly. That leads to frustrated riders, inconsistent events, and practice sessions that don’t actually build the skills that matter.

Without a clear framework, you end up with:

• Sections that don’t match the rider’s true skill level
• Riders getting discouraged, bored, or hurt instead of progressing
• Practice that wastes time instead of building real technique
• Stress and second‑guessing every time you tape out a new line

A clear, real‑world framework for sections that work

Build Better Sections gives you a practical system for designing trials sections that riders enjoy, that scale cleanly across classes, and that develop real skills. You’ll learn how to read terrain, control difficulty, and build both competition and practice sections that are efficient, safe, and purposeful.

After taking this course, you’ll be able to:

• Read terrain like a designer so you will see multiple lines and difficulty options
• Control difficulty across classes without guessing or “hoping it works out”
• Minimize risk while still testing skill, so sections are challenging without being reckless
• Design efficient sections that flow well and keep events moving
• Build targeted practice sections that isolate and develop specific techniques
• Improve your own riding by practicing on sections that actually train what matters

What You’ll Learn Inside Build Better Sections

Introduction Framework

Set the foundation for how to think about trials section design so everything you learn fits into a clear, practical framework.

- The Philosophy of a Great Motorcycle Trials Section
Understand what actually makes a section “great” for riders: challenge, safety, flow, and skill development.

---

Building Competition Sections

Learn a repeatable process for designing competition sections that work across classes.

- Reading Terrain & Building the Section
How to walk terrain, see lines, and turn natural features into intentional sections.
- Understanding Rider Classes
Break down rider levels so you can match difficulty to each class without guessing.
- Designing Skill Tests That Are Fun
Design sections that test real skills and are enjoyable to ride, instead of punishing or boring.
- Event Flow & How I Got Started
How to think about overall event flow, plus practical lessons from how I began setting sections.
- Improving Through Testing & Reflection
How to test your sections, get feedback, and refine them so every event gets better.
- Keep In Mind the Lower Levels – The Future of Our Sport
Why lower‑level sections matter so much, and how to design them to grow confident, long‑term riders.

Setting Up Practice Sections

Turn your practice area into a training ground that actually builds technique.

- Floaters with Abigail Buzzelli – Practice in the Real World
A real‑world look at how to use features like floaters to create practical, useful practice sections.
- Building Practice Sections with Intent
How to design practice sections on purpose, targeting specific weaknesses and skills instead of just riding randomly.
- Training Like an Event – The Missing Piece: Consequence
How to bring “event pressure” and consequence into practice, so your training transfers directly to real sections.

Who This Course Is For

For trials masters and riders who care about quality sections

Build Better Sections is designed for both trials masters and riders who want a proven, real‑world framework for building sections that work.

This is for you if you’re:

• A trials master responsible for setting competition sections
• A rider who builds practice sections for yourself or your friends
• A coach or club leader organizing training days or local events
• Anyone who wants sections that minimize risk, are fair, and actually fun to ride

This is not for you if:

• You’re happy guessing and copying old sections
• You’re not interested in how section design impacts rider progression
• You don’t want to think intentionally about safety and skill development

FAQs

Q: Is this course only for trials masters?
A: No. It’s designed for both trials masters and riders. If you build sections for events, practice, or coaching, you’ll get a clear framework you can use right away.

Q: How long do I have access to the course?
A: You get lifetime access to all lessons, so you can revisit them any time you’re planning an event or new practice sections.

Q: Do I need to be an advanced rider to benefit from this?
A: Not at all. The principles apply at every level. In fact, understanding section design early can accelerate your own progression as a rider.

Q: Will this help with my own riding, or is it just about sections?
A: Both. As you learn to design better sections, you’ll learn how to structure your own practice so you’re always working on the techniques that matter most.

Q: What if I’m setting sections for a club with a wide range of abilities?
A: The course shows you how to control difficulty across classes and build scalable sections so riders at different levels can all have an appropriate challenge.
