UK Trials Talk

I'm considering giving a trial another go. What trials are coming up in the north east that would be a good choice? Either this weekend or November. All I can see in the calender is a trial at Buttsfield Quarry but I think that's the last trial I entered. Two areas between sections were beyond me, fatigue was followed by crashes and the result was going home on lap 3 unfit ride for a month, that's really not what I'm looking for.

Here's a few pics I took, this afternoon at Reel's Head If any riders want copies, let me know Dibs Joel Gowan Emma Antony Ayrton James Fry Patrick Palmer Matthew Maynard Chloe Richardson George Pollard Chris Pearson Tom Hick Dougie Every ounce of effort from Rob Waite Ross Danby Ian Austermuhle Jono Richardson - first man home John Sunter, who looked fast all day

hello can any one give me some advice on the best spectator sections at the scott trial many thanks

Can't seem to find any results anywhere from this years trial? Saturdays results where up straight away I've not seen anything since, anyone know who won??

What has happened to Expert riders, in national events? Take the Manx 2 day 16 riders on the national route 130+ on the clubman, it's probably 11 years since I last rode national events, granted I finished in the last third of the finishers of the national class but I rode the hard route as it was the done thing for a lad in his 20s who wanted to improve their riding, and I'm sure the entry was almost split 50/50 on each route. When I look at the results for some nationals now I see people I rode with in the 90s riding the clubman route, fair enough age is creeping up on us, work on Monday etc other family commitments. But where are the next generation of national lads.

Had a great day today, my first trial for a good too many years. Some good bits, some not so good bits ( might need a new helmet!) but finished with a smile and looking forward to my next outing. Thanks to all at Stroud MCC.

Hi, I have wanted to motoride trials for ages but it always seemed to hard to get started, I ride a bit of biketrial now. I have never ridden a motobike and am not sure what the best route is. Should I do a cbt or a licence and learn to ride a normal motorbike for a year ? then get a trials bike and join a club ? Or are there places that offer tuition / training to completely new riders? I think there is a club near me I found on the ACU site (I live in bournemouth). I have a car and a garage so I could maybe get a trailer? any help at all is appreciated!

Anyone know if and when it's happening in Manchester this year?

Hi all, is anyone riding in the cotton trophy trial next weekend nr Ross/Gloucester? Just want to gauge the level of the various marked routes as I'm fairly new to the area. I used to ride the 'A' harder route in midland centre 'B' grade trials, anyone know what would be comparable?

As stated elsewhere, well worthy of a new topic! Many congratulations on his BTC success. Is he the next British champ? Dibs not getting any younger, Brown very unfortunately injured. Might need to be quick before Toby Martyn gets going.

Are there any dealers that have a few 2nd hand bikes in stock, From what I have seen it appears that they are all up north? Cheers John
