General Trials Talk

I would like to understand whom amongst us are right or left handed. Do you think that one has an advantage over the other with respect to riding trials. In the history of great trials riders does any body know for instance is Jordi L or R H, Dougie L or R H etc. Serious question with serious outcomes to the future of trials. M4RT

Anybody know when Marseille indoor will be on Eurosport, Cheers.

I'm sure I read a similar question on here a while ago but a search didn't turn anything up so here goes: I've just got a new (to me) van and it's white. Really white as in "how much more white could it be?" And the answer would have to be: "none more white". Which is OK I guess, but being the crazy rock and roll dude that I am, I'd like to break up all of that whiteness with a few tasteful stickers. Anyone know where I can buy some of those van-sized "Beta" ones? Failing that, generic trials logos such as a larger version of the common "silhouette" rider that many people have on their cars? Or are all of these custom-made? A bit of a daft question I know, but I haven't…

All new trials bikes seem to come with Michelin tyres fitted, are they better than other makes or just cheaper? Do different makes of tyre work better in different conditions? What tyre pressures are best for different conditions?

Hello all. I'm new to this forum and to trials. Having ridden road bikes for years and then moved into trail riding and the odd enduro and (very) occasional motorcross I've decided to have a go at trials. I did a days training with Steve Saunders on Saturday and learnt loads. I really enjoyed it. I'm looking for somewhere to practice around the Oxfordshire/Northamptonshire area any suggestions? Rgds, Mark

Soooo, I have two kids that both want to move up a class. What do others use as a criterion to let them move up? I am kind of happy with the "when you have single digit event scores" then you move up. Any thoughts or ideas that others have used?

Dont forget that the sheffield indoor is on tonight at 6.00pm eurosport uk

someone you may or may not know trials videos

Hello As a new rider to this sport I will pledge to eradicate M4RT I wish for the day when I place my Sherco four banger against your Montesa head banger. And I will not hide behind a mask. My name is Guy Stubbs S4RT

Your presence on another trials bulletin board has been noted! Wotchya up to? Same as me I suspect.

hi all, i already do the 4 day trial in the middle of france, 4 jours de la cruise. do any of you know any details on any of the others as the 4 day i have mentioned is so good i want to do more than 1 a year!! any dates, venues and personal experience would be great. cheers Dan

Well I got to try the new Montesa today, seen all sorts of posts about the bike on here from people who had seen it, or so and so had told them about it, not very many from people who own one and there must be a few about now, in fact I wondered why more new owners hadn't posted about the bike, could there be something wrong ?? Firstly I am a Sherco dealer and have a new sherco 4rt on order when they become available, so my test ride was for nothing more than to see what the new generation of fourstroke trials bikes are going to be like, it would be easy to try and pick faults and say well it's ok but I think I'll wait for the Sherco's to come out, truth is I couldn't pi…

Time for this nut to be exposed

Was it me, or was Sheffield really lacking this year? I agree with the comments regarding the

I am looking to start welding and have no idea about the differences in type, what different types do etc.....
