SSDT Chat

I think I left a bumbag on saturday in the car park or at the last section. I have contacted Mairi and nothing has been handed in but if someone has found anything, can they let me know or hand it back to mairi. A blue a black Gosport bag with the following inside:- red (first aid) bag with tools front tube pump scorpa water pump cover.

Every year same old, same old with illegal riders following the course of the Pre 65 and published at the bottom of the results? These people are obviously not concerned about the future of both the Pre 65 or the SSDT. In some people’s minds it is like anything you are doing wrong you will continue to do it until you are caught, hence they continue and it will be the same next year. Publishing it year on year out falls on deaf ears and I have sympathy with the officials as they cannot man every bit of the course so what indeed is the solution to this ongoing problem to preserve both of the events? Maybe the landowners one day will pull the plug? If you are…

Have looked in each day's results but Amos and Laia don't appear to be riding? Any one know why?

I couldnt find Bosis or Fabio Lenzi in the latest list of riders, have they dropped out or have I missed them ?

Amazing!! Loved it, met a few people off here too, was nice to put faces to names hehe If you're thinking about going but umming and arring, just do it! i'm going for the full week next year. Highlight for me: Lagnaha! Andy

Welcome to Day Four of the 2013 Scottish Six Days Trial...how on earth is it Thursday already?! Today is brought to you courtesy of

As I've just come across this on UK TV Play, I thought it worth a plug here. It's the humorous story of his attempt at the SSDT back in 2017, aided, abetted and lambasted by James Burroughs, with a supporting cast of James Burroughs' Dad and Ross's Tour Manager, who make up an excellent double act in the van!

Maximum 20 minutes for a 'Snack-Attack'.................wonder how many burgers we can shove down our necks now? Think I will be taking the 10 minutes and getting down the road, especially if it is raining....................or snowing Kinell rule 3.1 as you say hope somone else does something stupid so the Pi**taking goes to somone else Hey Mark, if you make Lagnaha too hard and timing too tight on Monday, you could have loads of Observers come Tuesday morning Hey I am only joking....................................

While the top guns and young kids are just getting started, today's the day where the clubman riders start to look a little worn out. Some even wonder if they can last three more days? With that comes my shot of the day. Again, if you're not a TC supporter, pay up or you're out of luck.

The 2013 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) has once again confirmed itself as the single most important event in the international trials calendar, with this classic competition set in the Scottish Highlands having attracted just under two hundred and seventy riders from twenty-two different countries. Whilst the home nations continue to make up the bulk of the entry, it is the mighty Spanish Armada who are dominant in terms of the foreign contingent, which help to swell the ranks. Making up just shy of ten percent of the start list, Spanish riders have enjoyed a long and loyal association with the SSDT stretching back several decades. Whilst Great Britain may still be con…

James Dabill I reckon.

Please note that no traders will be allowed into the West End Car Park before 6pm on Thursday 3rd May. This year the local council have asked us to ensure that no vans, trucks or stalls go into the car park earlier than 6pm on Thursday. This is one of the conditions that are to be met if we are to be given the use of the car park for the week, so we'd ask you all to respect their request and refrain from parking any trade vehicles in the car park until then. After that, the famous Rab will be on duty to direct operations - just one of his many talents! Looking forward to seeing you all there again - keep your fingers crossed for some sunshine!

Just a quick reminder for those of you who have a SSDT entry - the payment deadline is Friday of this week. No payment, no entry, so don't leave it to the last minute!

Anyone know if copies are still available? Would love to check it out.

Okay, before the first days results are announced by HL,who do you think will be the winner at the end of the week? I'm going for Amos on the 4RT, lets see if a fourstroke can be victorious again in this great event. Come on Amos keep yer feet up! ............(or young Hemmo)

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.

Day one of the centenary edition of the Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) has finally arrived. One hundred years after this adventure first began, the lucky two hundred and seventy six riders have gathered in the West End car park for the start of the 2011 SSDT. The history of the SSDT is rich, with only an elite group of riders having managed to put their name on the famous winners’ trophy. 2007 SSDT victor and current British trials champion James Dabill is keen to prove his victory four years ago was no fluke and that he has what it takes to claim his second victory on this important occasion.

Well people would like to hear your thoughts on what you think the weather is going to be like this year or what your hoping its going to be like. Wonder Boy
