Youth Trials

Is thier anyone out there coming to the British indoor youth trial this weekend who could help by doing the report & pictures for trials central & T&MXN. We will be working flat out this week putting it all together, and at the beginning of next week taking it apart. Any help would be much welcome thanks A.S.

Im looking to get my girlfreinds boy a trials bike as hes been showing an interest in my bike. Ive got a tight budget of £500 and the only option for that money as far as i can see is the TY. Dont really want to spend tomuch more until iknow he is properly keen and will pursue it. Will this bike be a good start bike for a 9 year old or will it be to small is my main question? Hes never riden a bike with a clutch before. Hes about a average height for his age but is on the heavy side!!! Any input would be good.

Does anyone know what model polini motor was installed on the Sherco 50? I'm in search of a good complete motor for a 2002 sherco 50, does anyone know where I guy can purchase one?(i live in the united states ) I'm trying to get my granddaughter up and running found an old sherco frame but no engine.

Following the result from last weekends A/B trial i think the ACU should throw the rule book in the bin and do the right thing. Lets have a run off trial Short v Sadler head to head Bracken rocks date to be arranged Barry Burton as C of course, run as a youth A National championship decider winner takes all. As Both riders deserve to win and it,s not fair to give the championship to the one that fits the rule book lets have it out on the bikes and not in the rule book. And a hand shake to start and finnish the trial. that way youth A championship will be decided on the bike and not in the rule book.

With the cancellation of Seaton Deleval trial this Sunday and move the Butsfield, there will be a Kids trial running alongside the main trial starting at 11am. We will use a different area than last week, and as usual to accommodate all ages and levels. There will be two routes (easy/hard) so will cater all abilities. Bring the kids along and have a good time !

Hi All - I'm a new boy, well Dad actually. I'm having a few problems getting my lad started in trials. I have all the gear, bike, trailer etc but nowhere to go. My boy cannot actually ride as yet so what I need is a big flat grass field for him to get used to the bike before we can enter anything. We can get no help from our council as we are considered a nuisence rather than a sport. Does anyone know of such a place we can go local to Chorley in Lancashire please? It does need to be grass though. Thanks - Jim

I installed a 70cc. Hebo kit to my kids txt 50 and it is incredibly noisy. The piston in this kit only has one ring and it seems that the noise is comming from the rattling of the piston with the sleeve. The bike works great though and I am not sure if it is normal all that anoying noise. Thanks for the advice.

On a very easy course it was a case of who could hold their nerve for the top spots and 3 laps of 10 sections caused some grumbles. A Class Sadler 6 25 cleans Stay 6 24 cleans Short 7 Dexter 17 Gosden21 Howell 28 B Class Walker 0 (no marks lost) Cox 1 Waite Bolt 7 Price 7 Bullock 7

In the market for a new one, have pretty much made up my mind but any relevant experiences with Beta, Gas Gas (new ones), Sherco or Scorpa that may help or add to the picture?? All comments appreciated! Cheers

Evening all. My boy has an Oset 20 lite that he's fast out growing. Add to that the frustration that the batteries didn't quite last the distance in a trial the other day and the very on/off power delivery that an electric bike gives and I'm thinking of moving him on to a little petrol bike. Im completely out of touch with the kids scene so what are my options! He's nearly 7 but he's a big strong tall boy for his age. It seems to be only beta's as far as I can see. Don't really want to spend too much at this stage as I'm not convinced he's big into it yet!!! p.s. There's a Sherco 0.5 for sale locally. Any thoughts on that???

Last sunday my daughter came to trials practice, and has not stopped talking about wanting a bike since after watching my friends daughter riding her beta evo 80. It may be a flash in the pan as kids have a change of heart once something else catches their eye so i am going to hold back for a few weeks to see if she is still interested and if so,will look at getting her started, Thinking of an automatic to start and when she has confidence,change to a geared machine but what bike to start on ??? or should i go for a yamaha ty80 and get her riding a geared bike straight off. she is only 9 so a ty would be ideal size and power wise without too much expense but i cant thi…

Hi, does any one know where i can find a entry form for the iow national and/or if a standard ACU form is ok? thanks

Has anyone got any results from the European Youth/Ladies trial in Hobol this weekend?

Hi, I've heard there is a "competition" clutch available for the Beta 80. Can anyone tell me how much this is and if you purchase this direct from BetaUK? Also, is this a straight swap with the standard plates? Thanks

Hi Does anyone know if trophies are presented for the top 3 riders in each class? And if so when & where do they receive them? Thanks Tom

New on here just looking for a bit of advice please! I'm just looking to get my son, who's 7, involved in trials and the first hurdle is what to buy. The Osets seem like a great idea due to the low noise factor allowing him to practice in the garden. Are they a viable alternative to the TY80? With either of these options are there plenty of trials (Midlands Centre) that would accommodate either of these bikes? Or do i need to bite the bullet and spend money on a Rev50 or TXT Boy? You advice will be gratefully recived! Thanks
