so we've all being happy enough late in the event when you here those noises you've being dreading all week and your bike grinds to a halt. so who's got the best story's of how they've made a knackered bike get round. who's in the shameful/unlucky position of going out after an hour or two on monday. i've a number of lucky tales,must have had the god's on my side. and what's the best bike you've ever ridden round on? me on my first year on an early mont 315r ,it sounded rather strange ,would not rev and then stopped just past tramway on saturday maybe 15 miles from the finnish,stangely it was out of fuel and this was just past the fuel stop.after a long push i obta…

I may be in Fort William from Tuesday and because of the usual budget constraints and the need for a good nights sleep (4 hours sleep in 3 days last year after sharing a room with 2 very loud snorers) I will be camping; if anyone else is camping, what site will you be at ?

Now up on the SSDT Website

Better late than never. This year's trialscentral supported DVD is now available. I've set up a 'buy now' option on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.u...8#ht_500wt_1156 If you want to save the world from ebay then you can also just send the same money to me via paypal making sure you give me a good clear address and I'll send you a copy. I can also still ship 2011 disks if anyone wants one. Just add £4 and let me know that you want one in the payment text. I'll be shipping every day so you shouldn't have to wait long.

not to compete with Big John, but I found the following photograph, not too difficult to get bike, year and rider

Somehow I seem to be the invisible man! Does anyone have any pictures of me doing the ssdt this year (only lasted until Thursday!)... Is there anything I can show my peeps back here to prove that it was me in the ssdt? Any pic, no matter how unflattering.....

Just wondering what brand of bikes the Lejeune Bros. will be riding at the Scottish

Anyone else not able to open the photos on the front page? Message box appears stating that Internet Explorer cannot open the files. This is both public and supporters photos.

I've been busy uploading photos to an online server for safekeeping and I found an old hard drive with loads of trials related stuff on it. First up is 120+ photos from the Thu, Fri and Sat of the 2003 SSDT. Photo gallery is here... (The gallery images are at the original size so click the icon at the bottom to expand them then click again to zoom in if needed...) Also found a folder with over 80 gig' of trials videos ranging from club trials, BTC to WR's!

Day 2 and Doug has regained a slim lead over Michael Brown Good to see Michael Brown at the top of the tree again

As the title says, does any one know who will be doing the Montesa service at this years SSDT? Craigs did it last year but are they doing it this year?

In may this year myself and a group of mates rode through Fort William on the signing on day for the SSDT aboard C90

Just out of interest have the commitee ever considered getting some sort of tv coverage? I have recently dicovered the program "blood sweat & gears" on the extreme sports channel which covers loads of different british events, mx, enduro I even saw some trials on there at one point. Obviously there would be some sort of cost involved so may not be viable. just wondering

Is there a route map out for the pre-65? Going up on Friday for the first time and would like to know the best places to watch, especially on the saturday. Can't find a route map on the official six days site

My good mate and brother in law has put some more 2006 video on google earth. Some top riders including Ishy with his feet up (between dabs ). Seem a bit slow to me but I think its just my connection. If you want to see more of his video search for 'Kiss The Mudguard' (KTM) Productions. Enjoy.

check out the weather forecast for next week.. mon- fri showers sat cloudy better pack the brolly
