SSDT Chat

I was hoping but now that we would have seen a report from Bert regarding his SSDT adventure. I'd love to read what he has to say about his first attempt and if he's going to repeat it. I spoke to him on Thursday and he was enjoying it but I also heard he was shocked by the moor crossing distances.

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 …

What time does the parade start on the Sunday as I can not find a time table on the website considering an early set off to catch it as never been up on the Sunday my usual is a Monday morning set off and straight to lagnaha

More than half way done. Speaking of half, here's a shot of the other half of trials. The ladies. You won't find her sitting on the sidelines, no sir. More than half the guys will look up at the board and see their name behind good ole number 27 in the 2007 SSDT program guide. Let's not forget, she's got a pair of family members hovering around the top ten too. Young Girl Sunt is my photo of the day.

A friend of mine rode the scottish around 1989 - 1990 . I wondered if there were any entry lists / programmes or anywhere to get some archive photos from. Any help would be appreciated Thanks The Wobbler

I know this is a long shot but someone in this website is bound to have a complete collection of SSDT programmes so where better to ask. In either the '72 or '74 programme there was a b&w picture of spectators watching a rider going through a section at Ben Nevis (I think it may even have been Malcolm Rathmell) and it just happened that me and my dad were in the photo. I used to havre a copy but managed to misplace it over the years. I know it's a long shot but if anyone has a copy could you please post it or e-mail me a scan of the picture. For all I know someone may even have al the programmes online already. Thanks.

having 'challenged' the official reporting of the p65 its only right that now been in a position to record my 'holiday in the highlands ' this may i should do so. a mere 364 miles after leaving home i pulled into the carpark at 5.30 sunday the parade was over and bikes were under lock and key in the PF. much was as normal althoug there were no vans from the tyre barons, and the army were doing the refuleiing but using 'hired' vehicles for the week ( transit flatbed and ford pickups) up early on monday and perhaps 50 saw the first rider pipped away by a wee lady piper ( who quickly sought the dry and warmth of her car after the first rider had left) fast as legally abl…

is there anywhere on the web where you can access past results?

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 …

when will the 2011 ssdt be run? is it going to be the 2nd to the 7th?? thanks

I tried to say thank you to as many as possible during the week but i'm sure I must have missed a few so I thought I would just post a quick thank you to all the organisers, observers, refuelers, radio presenters, Marshalls and behind the scenes workers for a fantastic week and if you good sort out the weather to be as good next year as it was this year that would be grand (well done slapshot for sorting out this year) thanks alot Allan Milligan Rider No: 66

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.

Was in my local last night and spotted a beer mat advertising a Scottish brewery. The slogan on it would make a perfect slogan for the Scottish: "It's not rain, just beer you haven't drunk yet"

Hi Guy's It as been some time now, and I just wondered if there was any new information on progress made to retifie the situation, as the year seems to be slipping by quickly. Regards Charlie.

With the 2010 Scottish literally just days away, I've made a couple of changes to the TC forums. Firstly, I've split the normal SSDT forum out from the General forums and given it it's own category up top and more prominent for the duration of the Trial. Secondly, and this is pretty cool (if you're a geek like me ) you'll notice a seperate forum called "SSDT News Feed". We now have a little software "robot" watching the SSDT website. Whenever the organisers post an update to the SSDT website a new Topic will be created in the SSDT News Feed Forum with a summary of that update and a link that will take you to the full article on the SSDT site. Users will be able to pos…

After a break of a quarter of a century Italian rider Diego Bosis

I've had contact from Canadian Guy Smeeth who's arriving at Edinburgh Airport on the morning of Sat 30th April and is looking for anyone who could possibly give him a lift to Fort William that day. Guy gets in at 10:25am. Anyone who could possibly help please either PM me via the forums or email to trialscentral AT trialscentral.com and I'll put you in touch
