When James Dabill’s - Beta name was read out as the winner of the 2011 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) late last Saturday evening, his wide smile told the story. After enduring six days of highs and lows the current British trials champion took a moment to fully absorb the scale of his achievement, having claimed victory at the centenary edition of this legendary event. James first added his name to the prestigious award back in 2007, when he took the win onboard his Montesa Cota 4RT and recorded the first four stroke victory since Alan Lampkin and his 250 BSA’s success way back in 1966. In taking his second SSDT title, the twenty five year old has handed Italian manufa…

I think all will agree that the Centenary SSDT was a fantastic event again this year....but it's not over yet! Edinburgh & District Motor Club are marking the 100th anniversary with a historic bike run on Sunday 29th of May.

Yes folks you heard it here first, Kinnel is back in the saddle.

Overnight leader James Dabill - Beta held his nerve brilliantly to secure the win during a tense and close finish to the centenary edition of the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT). Riding at the front of the field Dabill lost marks as early as the second group at Upper Mamore to see his advantage reduced to just two marks and then saw things come far too close for comfort as he dropped a further dab at Leanachan. Holding just a one mark lead going into Ben Nevis, Dabill showed great composure by cleaning all six sections in what looked like a certain winning performance until he parted with another dab at Nevis Forest to leave him tied on the same marks overall as Alexz Wigg…

We're so sorry about the delay in getting these to you folks.

Well all i can say is a big thank you for all the coverage you have given us on the site, it just gets better and better every year the speed in which you get results, pictures and general stories is nothing but amazing,and for the unlucky ones who cant make it up to the 6 days its the next best thing.....mairi must say your blogs,facebook updates and every thing else you do has been outstanding so many thanks i know it must have been a drain on your precious time this week so again thanks MR Moffat your morning radio show has been very informative and must listen(and watch) this week so thanks for that so again Andy to you and all the guys who have contributed thi…

Anyone got answers to Dougie Lampkin's rapid fall to the middle of the pack, score? I'm tending to lean towards machine failure, as the Dougie we all know wouldn't breakdown on Day 6. He'd carry the bike through the sections. Who knows, maybe that's what he's doing to pack on those numbers.

Saturday's results (Live!) Update at 13:00 First riders just arrived at the Ben sections.....nearly at the end of a long and hard (but brilliant!) week!

All is set for a fitting and dramatic close to the centenary edition of the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) with James Dabill - Beta and Alexz Wigg - Sherco looking the two most likely candidates to lift the famous piece of silverware later this evening. Only four marks splits these two young British riders after five intense days of competition that has covered nearly four hundred and fifty miles and included one hundred and fifty rocky sections. Whilst both riders are tender in years, they share the fact that they have both been winners of this event in the past and have experienced the pressure associated with a final day showdown. Although Dabill is the more experien…

I can never resist keepin'up with a few of the TC favs for the week of SSDT. Carlos Casas is having a ride! Spot 68! Seems on day 5, TC rider Baldilocks has shed his bananna suit and is just managing to stay ahead of the last Lady rider, Katy Sunter, yet still at a respectable spot of 139 v 141. Just behind is Eddy LeJeune in spot 143! And hard working Mont flogger Billy Craig in spot 162! At this point, If Baldi can maintain his composure and take a win over LeJeune, we may never hear the end of it! Yet at the same time, I fear the 4 piont spread over Katy may not be sufficient to keep the lad from a total PW end to things, as the other girls are out of sight for him!…

After a tough fifth day of the 2011 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) James Dabill - Beta remains ahead of his nearest rivals following a confident performance that saw him drop only two marks in the thirty observed sections, which were spread around today's seventy-nine mile peninsula based route. Dabill, who is the reigning British Trials Champion and is currently undefeated in this year's domestic series, holds a four mark advantage over Alexz Wigg - Sherco going into the final day. Wigg, who himself was victorious at last year's SSDT, matched Dabill mark for mark today as he too parted with two dabs during his penultimate excursion in the Scottish Highlands. Twenty-one…

Update at 13:45 Not much to report today so far folks!

As the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) celebrates its centenary this week, there has been much talk about the nostalgia and history surrounding this World famous event and rightly so. However, equally important it is also a good moment to think about the future of this great competition and to look towards the next hundred years of the SSDT taking place in the Scottish Highlands. The continued flow of new and young riders to the SSDT will be at the heart of the rolling story, and this week has once again confirmed the importance of this event with two of the current best young riders in the World fighting it out for the newcomers award. With a long route each day, more t…

Under the first rain of the week, the 2011 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) welcomed its third different leader in three days as James Dabill - Beta moved to the top of the cumulative standings after only dropping a single mark earlier today. The recently turned twenty-five year old from Leeds, West Yorkshire who won the SSDT back in 2007, lost his mark at the top section at Gorton and now holds a one mark lead over Graham Jarvis - Montesa at this critical point in the trial. Jarvis continues to enjoy a successful return to this event, and remains very much in contention to take his fifth win, after he also parted with just one dab, his being at Lochs Wood. Last night's l…

two more to go & six riders are within a 5 of the lead, who can name the winner?
