SSDT Chat

It was a tough one. You had the guy giving Andy the finger - Or the dude that's helmet was half cocked, he looked tuckered out, and his tongue was hanging out. Still he managed to hang a great photo op. Here's my shot of the day!

Having seen that Gas Gas hir bikes for the SSDT, I would beinterested to know if other importers offered a similar service Geebee

I always enjoy viewing the daily results at SSDT.org, as the books are in and posted by the time I get off work! As I go through the list again this year, couple of folk stand out in my mind as regular friends here on TC. Our top Spanish lad, Carlos Casas finished another year nicely in spot 77! With a good last two days he really advanced as I recall. Only got beat by one girl this year with Emma B. in spot 46. We still love you man! How do you do it? Chris Pearson, tech advisor, did the deal this year with great result at spot 23, just behind Ricky Wiggins (who must be half his age)! Great job man! Another great finish for Dougie, lots of respect there, and for all …

Was just wonderin if anyone new were I could get hold of this years DVD?? Usually see them floating about but havent so far??

Dougie Lampkin (Gas Gas) continues to rewrite the history books as he rode to an emphatic and record extending seventh win at the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) earlier today. Lampkin went into the sixth and final day of this year's event with a healthy lead over Sam Connor (Beta) and further increased his winning margin as he once again posted the best performance of the day. Dougie now stands head and shoulders above his peers in terms of SSDT victories, his seven wins now clearly surpassing the five achieved by legendary riders Sammy Miller and Mick Andrews.

Received this as a news article, but it's not really appropriate for the news section of the site so: I am looking for a lift home on Monday 2 from the last group of sections in the trial - presumably Lagnaha - to South Manchester or a railway station in Lancashire from where I can catch a trian to Stockport. Obviously I'll share the cost. If you can help, please phone me asap on 07928 171429, Mike Edwards.

Having just viewed all the Excellent Photos from this years SSDT i noticed one or two riders had yellow number boards whilst the marjority had white ones. could someone tell me why Cheers

For those of you following the progress of the SSDT entries, this is just a quick note to confirm that we've now exceeded the 270 places available. There's still two weeks to go before entries close, so there will definitely be a ballot for places again this year. We'd thought that entries would be much fewer than normal in the current climate, but it doesn't seem to have put many of you off! For those of you who might be interested in making some money out of the SSDT, Scottish Provincial Press Ltd (who publish our official programme) have just started selling advertising space. It's reasonably priced and reaches thousands of trials fans in May every year, so if you …

As any fan of the SSDT cannot fail to have noticed, the West End Car Park is going to be a little different this year to accommodate our Centenary celebrations, and here's where you can find out all about it! The changes in the car park this year are focused around the introduction of the SSDT Marquee, which will form the social heart of the SSDT this year, offering something for everyone.

Baldilocks, if Ishy finds this he'll try selling it back to you. http://www.trialscentral.com/classifieds/d...php?siteid=7635 What's anybody else found whilst out on the moors? I've a pair of pliers & a really nice pump, both were found in the middle of nowhere.

Do you need a licence to ride on the roads for this trial or what way does it work? Is it by the cc of the bike or the amount of hp it has? Thanks

Well, it all started off early with a listen on Nevis radio! Then things got worse!

apart from the trial what other things will be on during scottish week? a 100 year party?

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!…

Here are a few tasters from our footage from this years video. The first is some moor work with a very wet moss crossing.
