thanks mate, iv managed to get on the acu site and im applying for a lisence now, iv got a motocross helmet currently but only because i had a pit bike before, looking to get a trials one soon and some boots before the next trial.soo all i need is an acu lisence?? obviously the gear, and then when i arrive at the gates do i fill out forms there to enter the trial on the day or do u have to apply via post or email before hand?
