SSDT Chat

After reading the letter from 'Scottish Hopeful' in last weeks TMX, I kind of agreed with one or two of his points. In particular, "The bottom 20-30 of the entry automatically forefeiting their ride for the following year". Pro's It appears to make a bit of sense I suppose as the lucky wobblers that got a ride are forced to make room for next years SSDT hopefuls. Cons James Dabill missed a group in 2004 and was excluded for it. The bottom 30 finishers would say "I can't ride next year but neither can he, in fact I beat him this year ". The SSDT would look very silly if riders of his calibre were not allowed to ride. I have just read your response to 'Scottish Hopefu…

Is it true that you trash a brand new bike in just one SSDT, or are there trialist who get away with it? Several dutch rider who, in the far past , did the ssdt mentioned this. I can see why it isn't that nice for a trials bike to do 200km for 6 days. Haven seen my Pro's gear box i can state it isn't made for 1200km hard labour.

Hey all Just found this on ebay, for all those SSDT fans out there. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/gas-gas-montesa-beta...1QQcmdZViewItem Scott

Following on from the topic in T&MX this week about some discruntled rider not getting a ride yet again in this years SSDT. I am very passionate about the SSDT, and most people know how many years I have ridden this event, so I feel justified to offer my comments and support to one of the best trials in the world. Firstly the club have a very dificult job in who gets an entry, this selection process takes years of being part of the committee and has not been made easier this year with the sad passing away of Willie Dalling, so people should not forget that. Mark has taken over the reins and will continue to do a good job and the selection process has been made for …
