Isnt he after 1st lap scores? http://www.trialscentral.com/headline-stories/14907-2013-trial-world-championship-round-2,-day1

Just seen Japan, None Stop lol, it's got to be the worst decision in Trials up to date, what on earth have they done to the sport, the riders are stopping, its making it more difficult for the observers, I found myself laughing while watching, it should be called, "None Stop well just for a second or two" this is why Trials is a minority Sport, because there are too many idiots in charge making bad decisions. Progression is sometimes a backward step, this is one of those backward steps.

Hi all, I am thinking of takeing the family to watch the Italian world round in July,has anyone any advice for camping nearby, tickets etc, any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

A British women winning the world trials championship in 2013, now that Laia has jacked her Gas Gas contract?

If Toni wasn't riding, this would've been Alberts year, his riding style is so natural and clean. I thought he rode best at Sheffield this year too. I can't see much wrong with this.... http://youtu.be/7ox0dTY0BSE

Highlights today at 12:10pm on Motors TV UK....

toni stalling and getting a five- do you think that new engine needs so adjustment?

I think non stop is a stupid idea ... Mabey good for the likes of Toni bou and Adam raga Ect but not for the younger riders !!!!!!!

unusual scores on lap onehttp://www.trialonline.org/02%20RESULTATS%202013/2013%2001%20JAPON%2001/01%20105%20MONDE%20JAP%202013%2001%20TOUR.pdf

here we are again,ready for a re run of last years world championship,or should I say the Bou show !! are we going to see any kind of coverage on uk tv ? last years coverage was a bit average but better than nowt.

Lets call it what it is , Trials Racing. It sure doesn’t look like Enduro and the best riders have heavy Trials back grounds. The Brazil track even had sections of difficult terrain followed by connecting loops. Maybe that will be the future of Moto Trials. Instead of hard to score “Non-Stop” just let them ride through the tough sections and keep time. Fastest finisher wins or is that Enduro then? Another idea was instead of Freestyle Motocross (Moto X) were they get scored on their Tricks make it FreeTryal (X Trial already taken), were a panel of judges evaluates the style, trick difficulty, and originality and produces a score on a 100-point scale. Easily adapted t…

Where is he????

just to remind us "In view of the current extremely difficult situation regarding participation in Trial events that is also leading to the free fall of the Trial motorcycle market, the FIM together with the Trial Manufacturers (Montesa-Honda, Gas Gas, Beta, Sherco & Ossa) has decided to take measures in order to find ways to revitalise this discipline. The first change concerns the sporting regulations of the FIM Trial World Championships that, from 2013, will be “non-stop”. All categories of the discipline (World Pro, Open International, Junior, 125cc, Women & Trial des Nations) will now apply more dynamic regulations. With the aim of making Trial more acce…

I think my maths is right here and that with tonight's victory Toni Bou has now toppled Dougie Lampkin in terms of world championship titles and now has 13 world championships under his belt. 7 indoor (x-trial) titles : 2007-2013 6 outdoor titles : 2007-2012 He also shows little sign of being caught by any of today's riders and unless tomorrow's stars make a very quick leap I can't see him being challenged for another 5 years (another 9 championships) I think its fair to say he is now without doubt the greatest trials rider ever. Can he be caught by anyone in the next few years??

well having just watched the film for the new rules they've just changed my mind ......oh god what have they done,hope there not going to show this observers,it will confuse them all.i was in favour of no stop ,not so sure now. i suppose time will tell,can see many more arguments with riders/officials.sadly

Question: Quickest way to ruin trials and upset all the riders? Answer: Follow the idiotic decisons of the ACU who (almost) had the balls to admit that the 2012 BTC was a totally sh*t borefest despised by the riders and ignored by fans and reverted to stop allowed for 2013. Wow there's some imbeciles running this sport at a national and international level.

Looks as if Jono Richardson has signed for Ossa.

Hi, does anyone know if the x-trial championship is gona be on motors tv again this year?

Ok well we will first have to change the name of Moto Trials to Solo Enduro Cross. We will include the building of berms in sections as a standard practice and that may possibly turn into another TC forum topic link (berm building techniques). We here in the states will send over our left over bleachers from our NASCAR events because trials will just blow up in popularity due to the rule just like it did in the 90's. Heck we will even throw in some red neck fans who drink excessively and say ignorant things. (Just keeping with the theme and helping anyway I can FIM ) Now here is the fall out of this revolutionary idea. These ideas will bleed over into other activities.…
