World Championship Chat

Had an absolutely fantastic weekend up in fort bill, My first experience of a world round! This comment does not include all observers (I no trials could not go on without them) but unfortunately in some sections I have never seen poorer observation to date, Even with crowds shouting and pointing out wrong decisions things where going un-noticed (was a bit like germany v england).... This Did not spoil the action for me at all, We just felt some riders had been cheated out of a fair decision, I am aware that riders will try and bend the rules, But in all cases there are mitigating circumstances and poor decisions can affect a riders mind set and alters there performa…

Hi This is worth a look, the slow mo is fantastic, www.photobysergio.fr/bou-cabestany.html Sorry cant do the clicky thing. Love to know the banter thats going on. Who is this bou, when i see him ride he reminds me so much of myself

The French round is on TV tonight at 5.30!!! sky channel 411 Eurosport 2 UK

I don't buy TMX. Not because I don't like it, but I get more than enough Trials in my life through this website as it is! However, I do like JD and I do make a point of reading his column online every week religiously. I was really looking forward to what he had to say about the Ft Will World Round as he always tells it like he sees it, but it's not online Perhaps a cynical ploy to make folk buy the paper, but more likely it's summer and whoever was responsible has buggered off to Benidorm. Can anybody fill me in on what was printed? (Without breaching copyright obviously!)

For all us poor soles who can't make Fort William , it will be on eurosport 2, Thursday next week. 17:30 TRIAL Trial World Championship - Fort William (60min) Enjoy

Thanks to Andy for providing the video's of the recent World Trial, inparticuar the amazing clean from Fujinami at section 15 on day two. Even after watching it three times, it still looks like something you'd only see on a computer game. Awesome!! TC suporters can view the video by following the link on the fron page. For me, the yearly suporters subscription was worth it just for this one video.

Link to video for TC Supporters now added to front page article. 20 mins of video from 5 different sections on Saturday. It's cost TC 500 Euros to get video rights to the WTC and I have to try and recoup that cost so I'm afraid it's Supporters-only for all video. Day 2 will be added shortly. EDIT: TC Advertisers/Sponsors. some of you don't have user accounts to see these. If you wish to, then contact me

What did people think of the commentary team at Fort William?? We had plenty of laughs at their expense, though I am not convinced they knew a lot about trials or the riders. Instead of cleans we had "clears", dabs become "taps", there were even some "prods" in there! Dabill became Dabeel, Michael Brown better known as Mike and Harry Harvey became Harvey Harry.

Kickstart 2010 Fort William

TC Exclusive!

Just got back from Fort William. What a fantastic weekend. Section 2 was awesome, the climb up from the river, then back down. Was on the bridge.

Anyone else see this just before 7 on Friday night. Was a good few minutes long and had interviews with Lampkin and one of the organisers. Also mentioned that Trials is the cheapest form of motorsport and described what its all about. Well done BBC 1 Scotland.

I've never seen pics of those team trucks (before they were set up), until your report. I've never seen such detailed pics/descriptions of the sections, before (or after, now that I think about it) a trial, anywhere. EXCELLENT.

5000 Trials Central Vuvuzelas before next weekend?

Right, first on all let me say, Andy will no doubt back up this post soon with front page news and far more details outlining what's going on so don't bombard me with questions about the event itself. Let me only say you're in for a big surprise and a very very special event. The reason for this post is that we are going to be running a Scott style charity auction at the Party on the Ben during this years UK rounds of the SPEA FIM Trial World Championship at Nevis Range near Fort William. I have a list of dealers that I'm soon going to be approaching for donations and Jake Miller of L+M Events is going to be speaking to the factories too so hopefully we will have some v…

An eloquent put down of the league of imps, pimps and banjo players that make up the usual suspects

Found this little web site. Search Trial Bikes and it gives you all the listings for when trials is on Eurosport and what time. Pretty usefull i thought! http://www.mindthezap.tv/tv/s?d=A&s=Trial+Bikes&st=T

Hi all, It's been a bloomin long time, 10 years almost..........but I'm back!..........I've dusted off the DSLR and will once again be taking snaps in the role of an official PhotoG at Fort William 2010. Have I missed it?............you bet your life I have! I doubt much has changed though......so am really looking forward to seeing the works Fantics, Beamish's and of course JT on his Zero. Ian.

The title just about sums it up any one know why he wasnt in the results of the Japan world round did he retire or was he a non starter?

I must say I am disappointed that after selling tickets for months just weeks before the event we are told that it is going to cost
