Well BTC has gone to TSR22B, And no minders! 2012 could be an intresting year.

Any gossip about it? What happened to Richardson? Can't see him in results?

A few pics from yesterday please follow linkhttps://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/115228478358912910633/albums/6022896641928109281

3rd December about 4 in the morning two thirds of "Motorsport Mondial" was devoted to the "Mitchell" round of the BTC. I got it because we have it on series link for Chris. Not bad coverage either Dibs, Brown, Haslam, Danby and Richardson all had considerable name checks. John Shirt was spotted "holding" a rock in place for Brown and various faces I know could be spotted in the crowd or minding. Not lots of sections but they did have Multiple Camera angles on the sections covered.

Results from Poll at Scarborough BTC 84 Paper Returned Q1 Do you think the ACU British Championship rules should be the same as FIM ( what ever there are ) YES 68 Maybe 8 No 8 Q2 Were the Sections to hard ( sdmc ) Yes 12 Maybe 20 No 52 Q3 Were the Sections to Easy Yes 1 Maybe 12 No 64 Q4 Were the Sections suitable for a no stop trial Yes 41 Maybe 29 No 14 Q5 were the sections a good balance of easy and hard Yes 63 Maybe 13 No 8 Thankyou to all who filled in a form, this is for the benifit of SDMC only

Does anyone have a link to the BTC round 1 results?

Six riders only started todays BTC round, is this the lowest ever for the main BTC round? This surely cannot continue if this is the trend, not sure what the answer will be but something will have to change.

Anybody got any any goods pics or vids, looks like it was a monster day with some massive scores posted, so any action would be gratefully received for those who didn't attend Well done Dibs on the new Vertigo and Dan Peace who manged a Top Ten place on both days

Scarborough DMC hold round 1 of the British solo trials championship at Low North Camp, harwood dale near Scarborough on Sunday 2nd March. With Doug riding and local boy Browny mounting a strong home challenge can the mighty atom rocket himself to take top honours? Mix in Dabill, challoner, and others whats your prediction?

James Dabill was on form today to take win at first round. Great trial to watch.

ROUND 2 TO DIBS, just been told from team atom 1dibs 2 lampkin 3 brown

Does anyone know what time this starts ? Approx time it will finish ? Is it free to watch or pay at gate ? Cheers

Spanish rider Jorge Casales who won todays event awesome riding, Dib's second

I think that if you look at the comments after the wallace re marking then someone needs to grasp the nettle and say what is and is not a 5 clearly, explain and if necessary during practice demonstrate this to the riders observers and officials, otherwise inconsistences event to event, observer to observer, will create a situation which far from helping the BTC will ruin it before no stop is given a chance to work or not.

Hi my name is Ben wibberley and I have been riding trials since I was 5. I have been a regular competitor in the British trials championship for many years. I rode round 2 of the championship at Westwood near Barnsley and I have to say I think it was one of the worst trials I have ridden this year. I rode the championship class going up from expert A last year as the rules have changed to non-stop and they were meant 2 ease the sections. But I dropped over 100 which is more than I usually did last year. This is because the sections were not set to the rules and some are un-rideable without stopping!!! So where's the severity change??? With the current rules you are als…

I’ve slowly started getting back into trials. I’m now keen to have a bash at some local events but I’m wondering what bigger events are out there I should look at? The Scott and Jocko 6 are two I’d really like to try at some point. I’ll only ever be clubman class at best. Happy to try anything though as long as it involves lots of riding! Any others?

Have I missed it ? I thought the event was this weekend but nothing to preview the trial yet.

Hi, BUMPY (www.bumpy.org.uk) is a Bradford based charity organisation which, amongst other things, are training young people (6 - 16 years) in trials riding. As the young people are developing their skills they have identified a need to purchase a 50cc trials bike to enable the younger members to ride and learn alongside the older ones. So, on Saturday 8th Sept at midday they are holding a fund raising event at the George Hotel, Low Moor, Bradford Instead of riding on Thursday evening we spent the time building obstacles and intend to hold a demonstration on Saturday so you can see how well they are doing If any of you are around it would be really great to see y…

Im thinking of taking a trip out to Bumpy in Leeds, is it worth a trip? I aint got a clue what its like or whats on offer so any info would be appreciated!! All the best Tom
