ISDT: Uphill All The Way

It's really a shame that so little is known about the International Six Days Trial / ISDT here in the United States because it's by far the most complicated and sophisticated game in town for motorcyclists......this was the 3rd year the event has been held in the tiny mountain ski resort town of Spindleruv Myln, Czechoslavakia.....
