UK Trials Talk

So here I am contemplating another bike. 2 years back I had my workshop broken into and my bikes stolen. My main ride was a KTM SXF 350 and I had a li'l Beta Rev3 250 2007 for messing about on. I incidentally got the Beta back after it had been dumped (it was a bit rough to be fair) however after retrieval I left it in my van over night to have it nicked again and that was 3 weeks later after the 1st theft hmmmm something fishy going on there me thinks. Anyhoo Vowed I wouldn't ride or buy a bike again!! Well my 'vow' isn't holding water, 2 years on and I'm feeling like ive lost a limb and am starting to look at trials bikes. My experience with trials is very limited …

We all know how bad the weather has been some unfortunate souls know more than others!!, and i was put a little at ease by Jakes pre-Hawkers camp site check!!. I also know we have long weather forecasts available all over the internet but, the question on everyones lips must be.....Slapshot, lets have your thoughts, you were spot on if i remember rightly from last year!.........

i spend a weekend at the British unicycle convention the other weekend and i was blown away with the skill of these guys i just thought i would share these pictures with you. i am sorry if these are on the wrong forum but i didn't know where to put them!! the last 3 pictures are of the new British unicycle trials champion

theres a trial sunday at thurlestone quarry and I haven't rode there before. ive been trying to find out what the access is like to the venue but had no look. on google maps the road up passed the houses from the bottom looks quite tight and narrow. is this the case or is it fairly wide? the reason for asking my dads not got a cheap van yet for riding and as you will all know a lot of venues have terrible access. and I don't want him to drive up in his good van and not be able to get up there without any scratches. thanks

Take a look at this post I just read in our local paper. is it any wonder we get a bad name in the eyes of the general public. Click Here

Anyone have any news on addingham moorside! I heard that the moor as now been open to cycle trials on the 14 day rule? Do the council think cycle trials is motorsport and what as happened to the pettion and all the letters we sent to mr fothergill!

Hi, Seasons Greetings one and all, I've heard that there's an area where you can ride legally in Tong, near Bradford, for a small fee. It's somewhere near the garden center - just wondered if anyone has a contact phone number/details/directions for this venue. :madsanta:

Regs are now out for the Mid Wales Novogar round on 23rd September 2007. This is a real hardcore trials venue - we put a few trials on the banks to give a little variety, but really it hurts to not use the streams and rivers. We've been trying to build a reputation for good honest ridable sections. The going will be tough in places, but nothing daft. Have a look at last years results to guage the severity or speak to someone who's ridden it. A good clubman who likes proper sections will love it (Expert/Inter). For those that ride the Forest Trophy Trial, you'll know the venue. For this trial though we use slightly more of it. Around 40 sections and around 25 miles of…

Hello, does anyone know of any trials clubs in or around Dumfries, me and my son ride but I have been unable to find any club or organisation in the area since moving here a year ago. Any help much appreciated. Chris,

I'm sure this must have been covered before but i have noticed the limited number of practice tracks available and am sure i am not alone in thinking this is worrying. Has anyone considered either with their clubs or in partnership with others as a non profiting venture (other than what is necessary to make in order to keep the place open & maintained), the purchase or lease of a peice of land for the cause. I know this is easier said than done and requires the collaboration of some responsible, reliable & commited people but its something that neednt be that difficult to achieve surley. I can understand the reluctance of individuals to commit financially to such…

Gent's, After riding down south in the mud, grass and clay for just over a year, I'm looking forward to riding some good ol' rock and stream beds !, I say this cos i'm Moving to County Durham (Chester-le-street) in early aug.

If anbody goes out practising near County Durham / tyneside and doesnt mind a 30 something 'C' route rider tagging along, please give me a shout Cheers .. Darren

Hey all i have started a Facebook group for North Hants MC Trials, i'll put pics and event info on there when i get them - join up if you are local (or not!) would be good to meet some new trials people!

Thanks to some hard work put in by Andy, Yeadon Guiseley's website has a new Look! I have posted Regs for the Upcoming Centre Trials and will be "populating" the rest of the site as I go. For those who were put off by Google's rather misguided warnings please note that Both the YG website and Trialscentral are hosted by Andy. Many Thanks for the Hard work.

The ACU has just issued a detailed briefing on the Carnet System for importing and re exporting goods into and out of the EU, now that the UK has declined ongoing membership of that particular club. The Carnet system is quite a faff for the amateur and I know the music industry is up in arms about it. However on the Gov UK Customs/Revenue website it seems to say 'personal imports' of 'sporting goods,' giving a longish list which includes cars and motor bikes, will not be included. In that case would the whole Carnet documentation still be required. Or am I just an optimist? Of course this assumes the government will let us out again one day. Does anyone know how this mig…

I was feeling grim with a cold and antisocial but here goes:

colley Braybrook Hemmingway Wigg finishing order.

Does anyone know if there is a site which will post the daily results an pics of the trial. Followed the trial a couple of years ago online but cant remember the site. Just been onto the Richmond club site but does nt seem to be much going on there. Just want to see how many northerners our Oxford lads are whopping.
