SSDT Chat

I've watched a few of the many videos that have been supplied by "generous" sources and I had a thought, I was watching Shaun Morris on Lagnaha and there was a top ten in-the-world guy struggling (well for a one) when Murray Whittaker struggled through for a three. The point I'm trying to make is: is it necessary for every world championship round to have 15 rev & splatter sections when a decent stream can challenge all and desist none? BTW kudos Murray, good ride.

After yesterday's five-rider congestion at the top of the leader board, day two of the 2012 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) has produced two clear front-runners in the form of Jordi Pascuet (JotaGas) and Dougie Lampkin (Gas Gas) who both remained clean for the second day in a row. Whilst today's route was both longer and tougher than yesterday, once again the riders reported that the sections had ridden easier than usual, even for the early runners. Dan Clark (Beta) and Chris Pearson (Sherco) were the only other two riders to remain clean today with Dan Thorpe (Gas Gas) being the next best on a single dab. Thorpe is now tied on two marks with last year's SSDT winner Jame…

Just looking through last year's SSDT photos. He almost looks like he knows what he's doing

I think all will agree that the Centenary SSDT was a fantastic event again this year....but it's not over yet! Edinburgh & District Motor Club are marking the 100th anniversary with a historic bike run on Sunday 29th of May.

just been watching you tube and vimeo and thought of a way of mixing it up a bit. How about last section is a timed run UP the nevis range down hill course?

Is it just me looking in all the wrong places or is there not much online chat this year?.

Have just uploaded some videos from last years SSDT to You Tube This link should find them http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=CA84385AC694CDB9

My and my kid are driving up to Fort W from Mallorca for the SSDT. His first visit at all, my first visit in 30 years...(Where did THEY go?) We're vanning the bikes up there so we don't have to stop ANYWHERE in France. (Maybe that's just me.) Question: what's the situation re: B&Bs etc? Will we have trouble getting someplace to stay in the vicinity? Any advice would be very welcome. Thanks all in advance. Norman

21-year-old Sara Trentini (number 127) is one of only four women competing in the 2012 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT). This week sees the attractive young Top Trials Team rider take on the biggest challenge of her professional career, but throughout she has been able to count on the support of her Italian boyfriend and team boss, Michele Bosi (number 126) who is competing in the SSDT for the sixth time this year. Sara is no stranger to international trial events, having already competed at professional world-class level. Sara had her first taste of the SSDT in 2011 when she came along to watch boyfriend Michele who then encouraged her to enter this year. The couple agr…

Digging through some old paperwork and came across the 1983 official programme for the SSDT. For me it was the start of something special, not to bore you! but it was my first SSDT and I have been fortunate enough to ride a few more Thought some facts from this programme might make interesting reading: Riders of note this week some ''Blasts from the past'' 2. Bernard Cordonier - he has got to have been the tallest man on a trilas bike, good for a single long dab 12. Felix Kranstover - another tall guy, now the editor of the German Trialsport magazine 14. Adrian Prato - part of the Fantic works set up 28. Bernie Schreiber - never won the SSDT! 51. John Boy - fant…

My mate Stan Bakgaard left it a bit late to book a room, anyone blobbing for any reason who have a room booked or know of any availability within walking distance of the PF he would be most greatfull. He will be arriving Fort bill thur afternoon, and staying through Sat night.

Can I ask a simple question ? How do you get involved in helping out at the SSDT ? i.e. Observing/Marshalling/general helping out with the event ? Who do you see, speak to, what manner can someone help out etc etc. So many questions

now this is what kinnel should have had on his trips round Scotland.

When James Dabill’s - Beta name was read out as the winner of the 2011 Scottish Six Days Trial (SSDT) late last Saturday evening, his wide smile told the story. After enduring six days of highs and lows the current British trials champion took a moment to fully absorb the scale of his achievement, having claimed victory at the centenary edition of this legendary event. James first added his name to the prestigious award back in 2007, when he took the win onboard his Montesa Cota 4RT and recorded the first four stroke victory since Alan Lampkin and his 250 BSA’s success way back in 1966. In taking his second SSDT title, the twenty five year old has handed Italian manufa…

Panic Button Might be useful for any first timers Got my Regs through today, just wondering how long that number plate thingy will last on the Scottish moors, before tucking under the rear wheel and snapping the mudguard Anybody got one? Not critisising just asking, if that's what the local plod wants, then we have to abide by his rules
