SSDT Chat

Since i live in a country under sea level i know my mudholes, so i am espcially keen on any mud pictures. Has anyone taken some moor crossing pictures, and can give me a link? Much appreciated

Right I

It was brought to my attention whilst in Fort William that Tommy passed away during SSDT week. With everything going on I omitted to mention this on Trials Central. Plenty of you will have known Tommy and many of you who have ridden will have crossed swords with him at some point! Tommy was one of those characters that the Scottish is so well known for. Every year he drove up in his Reliant Robin via A and B roads because he wasn't allowed on motorways, but still he made it - even when he was well into his 90's. Many times I've seen that little three-wheeler parked up in a layby beside the "Time Control Start" sign like some kind of cop car and imagined him giving chas…

any up yet? ty sirs

Anybody who hasn't been sleeping for the last few months will know that our very own Ishy and Perce are both riding the SSDT - and what with Ishy declaring his outright superiority and Perce shedding the pounds at a rate of knots, it's shaping up to be a tough competition between them. It's two years since Ishy rode the SSDT and at that point he beat Perce by 13 marks, so I think the gauntlet has been thrown down this year and Perce is right up for the challenge....so the question on everybody's lips must be who is winning so far? Play along...! Well, after 11 sections (that's Leanachen, Bradilieg, Loch Eilde Cottage, Loch Eilde Mor and Schoolhouse) I can tell you th…

Been on the official SSDT site but nothing on there about the Pre 65 trial. Anybody know who won or a site where i can see the results

Friday from a spectators point of view is, in my opinion, the best day of the SSDT. It's a "must-do" in my book. The majority of sections are pretty close to the road and you get the awesome drive round Moidart where the views are absolutely stunning. Meandering round this year, I stopped off and took some shots I've stitched together to give some idea of what it's like out there. It doesn't really do it justice, but if you've never been, take a look at this panorama. (1.3MB so dial-up users beware).

Blimey!

I hope the riders in these pictures dont mind me using their pics as examples but i couldn't help but notice how many riders stick their tounges out when riding. I have seen this in local trials as well and its always amused me. Heres some examples: Pic 1 Pic 2 Pic 3 Pic 4 Pic 5 Pic 6 Pic 7 Anyone else seen some funnies?

Wow... 6 for the day, all single dabs, same as Colomer and Jim Lampkin. Plenty of 'names' have cast away double that! Very Impressive!

I have seen one floating around in one of the parade pictures on todotrial.com..... is there one riding? Hows it doing?

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)

Here we go again... I got the first pic texted to me today with the message "Wish you were here? " The second pic just arrived! I think it's going to be one of those weeks

Heard Scotland has had the best snow for years don't know if it will affect the trial but check out the snow http://www.winterhighland.info/forum/read.php?2,60934 Look at the bottom of the page, hope everyone's got their avalanche transceivers with them Glencoe and Ben Nevis are still open for skiing so I've heard.

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

Remember to fit your bike with a rear facing number plate or you will NOT get through scruitineering. - this includes non UK registered bikes The importers have a very nifty FREE plate bracket for every entrant so there is no excuse, - just see them on Sunday morning. Each importer is supporting a charity so if you make a small donation in exchange for your bracket you will be helping a good cause. See you all up there. Mark

I'm probably being thick; but where can I find an entry list & route for the SSDT Pre 65 trial?

anybody from the Silsden/Skipton area going up to the Scottish on Fri 28th April, I need a lift, will share petrol cost. I don't trust riding up with our lad Sunday morning and I need to get mi bike dialed in sat if I can.
