Are there any Youth specific beginner dead easy trials coming up anywhere??

I feel that my son is not yet ready for the easy route on our normal club trials, and was looking for something to take him too that he's got half a chance of doing ok in to build his confidence up.

Or indeed a 'non' youth specific beginners/ dead easy trial would be good too.

I realy don't want to just throw him into something thats too hard and him have a miserable day.

He's nearly 10 and rides a beta 80 big wheel if that makes any difference.

We are based in the east midlands but dont mind a drive for the right event

Thanks

Just enter him and tell him if he does not feel up to riding a section to ask for a 5. The best practice is a trial.

Unfortunatly if I do that he'll just thnk that if he can't at least feel he can attempt most of it, he'll not be wanting to go back!

You need to enter the "conducted" classes where all the riders are together and ride a section several times before moving on to the next. It's all Dad's helping out and the bonus is He can watch the experienced riders and pick up tips. Lot's in the Yorkshire centre but most run from about March onwards. However YG always run Conducted Trials at all bar national events.

Trial will be held at Butsfield Quarry just off the A68

Paul Bailey of The Bradford & District Motor Club, is running a series this autumn/winter for beginners. Two courses, one dead easy for the real beginner, and a slightly harder route for those better riders who are out for a good ride out. I helped him mark out on Saturday for the last event which sadly was cancelled due to the horrendous weather, but it would have been ideal. Next event is coming up december 11th. I can vouch for the beginners level as that's the route I ride. Clean a few, drop a few dabs here and there, but FUN.

Hope this helps and is not too far to drive. Next event just outside Bingley.

The Earl Shilton Trials club run trials once a month with 4 routes in the main event and a seperate conducted trial as well. This caters generally for all levels. We also run a monthly training day on a saturday which you maybe interested in? If you need any more information you can look on our website www.estc.co.uk or ask myself.

Where are you based?

Thanks for all the reply everyone, very helpful indeed

I think weather pending the plan is to head to Bradford on the 11th, sounds like an ideal event for us

Thanks everyone for your help

Manchester 17 run a series called dead easy around the Peak district. Lots of youngsters on the easy route. Another option a bit closer.
