World Championship Chat

TrialsUK are posting that the Carlisle Nord Vue venue has the UK World Round for next Year. Looks like Graham Jarvis and DirtBike Action the same people that did the Round at Westwood.

It is not Rocket Science to see that the WTC may die a death if something isn't changed. There are several things that could make it better but I have a couple of ideas, and I will await the TC bashing brigade to shoot me down? The best riders seem to be coming out of Europe so maybe we should concerntrate on keeping within these countries. If each Country runs their own Championship, but nominates one round to count towards the World Championship then this would surely be easy to accommodate? This keeps the cost down and maybe it will encourage the factories to help and support more riders if funds are available. I know this may upset Japan, America, and all the other…

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.

Did hear talk yesterday at the trial that the move to non stop is not going to happen in WTC, is that correct?

FIM TV are showing Live coverage of the SPEA X-Trial FIM World Championship from Marseille on Saturday. I'll be watching it on FIM TV as it isnt live on TV in UK: http://www.fim-tv.com/page/Home/0,,12939,00.html

Anyone got any, the day went so quick would like to look back at bits, thanks

Great trial on Sunday and as ever some unbelievable skills on display. Few thoughts and questions on the event from discussions there and thoughts after Good: Good Venue Very easy to get to all sections Well organised (to a point - see below) and well set up operation Bad: Saturday was spent primarily crowded around only the qualifying section as there was literally nothing else doing (after practice) I like the idea of qualifying and enjoyed it on Saturday but having the whole afternoon around it and that one section seems such a waste Still some huge huge inconsistencies in observing with 1 rider getting a 5 and another getting a 0 for identi…

Hi, are many people planning to come over to Newcastle Northern Ireland for the 1st & 2nd Rounds of the Outdoor World Trial?

Who are your favourite riders??????? From the current championships and from the last 10 years??? mine are fujigas and amos bilbao

If the MTB world can put up such a world class event in Swaledale, why can't Trials - for our home GP? I don't see a shortage of access, for artics and the associated Trial GP Circus Show the rest of the world, how good our 'natural' terrain and a bit of rain is

Whole pile of video from Sheffield tonight over on the Trials Central Facebook page. Quality isn't bad considering it was done live on a phone.

Some teams have three riders and some four; can someone please explain how the team score is calculated? Thanks

Freixa is off to Beta, Wonder why?

What would normally be on the telly... Updated: This currently appears to have been set "private" by the FIM. I'll leave this topic in case the setting is reversed, but right now the video can't be viewed. The private setting has nothing to do with TC. It's not our video.

Does anyone know why Raga was riding the Pro Racing bike and not his ?

Am going on the 9th Jan, have not been before and was thinking maybe i would need a small pair of binoculars? I'm sitting somehere in block 207.... click to enlarge image Anyone been before that could shed some light on this?

Anyone see Andy's vid's from Spain WTC and notice how top guys took the total p*ss negotiating the red markers?? Whatever happened to the "theoretical straight line between markers"??

Andrew (Nigel Dabster) asked a question in another thread about Patrick and the next world rounds. Patrick will be 18 by the next round, the choices he makes from here on out are his. I'm sure Noel still will have influence in Pat's future, and Noel indicated to me he'd rather see Pat finish the season in the Junior class, on a big bike. I think this is a terrible call. Now, it's up to Pat of course. But, I'd prefer to see Patrick finish the season off on the 125 and try to work his way into the runner-up position. If possible. That's if all his injuries have properly healed by then. I invested a ton into this season. I'd like to see top results in one championship …

Have Ossa ran out of money for these trips? Or what?
