That short bit of the course looks really tough! How long is the full lap ?

[Woody]

Full lap was reckoned to be about 5km. For the trials bikes that rock section was the hardest obstacle by far. Impossible to ride feet up or even with a few well placed dabs for any of them. It was just a case of maul it through. There were a couple of steep descents just before the rock section, one of which would have been 'exciting' on a trials bike. The other obstacle that caused the enduro bikes problems, the log section, posed no problems for the trials bikes. Colley was the best on this as he carried his front wheel across the gap between the log platforms whereas everyone else dropped off the first and rode back up onto the second. Really impressive. Even more impressive was that he won with no rear brake which he wiped out early on the first lap. For the steep descents he was killing the engine and going down on the front brake with the bike in gear. Having been down them on an enduro bike in the earlier clubman race, that makes me feel sick just thinking about it......

Video 2 -

A the beginning you will see Steve who has just come down the bank and restarted the engine. That's what that guy is on about as Steve says hes got no back brake (can't hear him say that) and that guy says "what does he want me to do about it"

I have one short vid of the actual tough one itself but due to the dark and cold/wet weather couldn't take much footage.


The last vid will be Ross - coming soon
