We've all seen/heard Mich Lin banging on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about the American trials scene and how the NATC are evil scum sucking old fogies with no vis…

Please continue with your views here away from direct line of the youth riders. Team Sam Haslem, a super smooth rider from a lovley family, Team Jack Challenor the profesional approch from a team that just gets on with the job. Team Ben Morphett, Ben was asked what he wanted to do on his birthday, go Ice Skating or Bowling, his awnser was can't we go practicing then.

14 year old 2005 B Class British Champ Jack Challoner has agreed terms with John Lampkin to stay on the much improved 125 Beta for 2006. This will be Jacks 4th full year as a beta Teamster which has taken him to 2 British Titles along the way. Jack will also be wearing Beta / Ritratto Sport clothing as part of this deal for 2006. Jack has long been associated with Wayne Braybrook & X-Citing clothing, but will be moving to the new brand at the end of the year. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Wayne for all his help over the last 3 years. Although he will not be completely cutting all ties with Wayne as he will still be using REP & Hope pro…

Hi Guys I was just wondering what the sections were like in a National D class trial? Are they very hard? My lad is nearly 9, just upgraded to a GG Cadet 50 and fancies having a go at a national. Any advise or experiences would be appreciated Thanks Tom

My son has been pestering me for months about a trials bike and I've finally given in and said yes.(Really it means that if I get him a bike then I'll be able to get out on my Gas Gas more often!) Basically I've narrowed it down to either a Sherco or a Beta mini trial. (My son is 5 years old) What's the views on either of these bikes for starting out on? Any problems to be aware of? My budget is around

IOW youth C star Chris Stay will be out of action untill after Christmas after braking his left thumb whilst jumping his Monty off a 4ft drop at home . Hand now in plaster everyone p*ssed off but hay ************* **** happens. :santa1: PS Both Chris & George Gosden are now sponsored by REPSOL OIL thanks to Steve Saunders at SXS

Just got a copy of next years National calendar...ONLY 4 A&B Nationals. Doesn't auger well for future world championship hopefuls. Whats going on?

Looking for a helmet for my daughter to start competing, what an absolute nightmare! Live not to far from a supplier in west cumbria so went to try them on and managed to get one that was a decent fit but had no ACU sticker on. When I enquired about this he said it passed all testing and was not sure if it needed a sticker on or not to compete in trials but did say that they could put one on if needed!! Tried to e-mail ACU with a question regarding this and its been a week and no reply, are they like this? So we are left in a dilemma of do we get the helmet or should we look for something else? Disappointed with the ACU. Can anyone clarify about having the sticker or rec…

Hello. my 4 yr old has just finished with his 12.5 and got a new 16 and were looking to maybe do a trial. Can anyone advise a good club for little kids to start out in north east england (tyne and wear/co durham area) Cheers

I'm taking my 7 year old lad to his (and my) first trials event on the 31st. We've been to watch a few over the last year - but this is the first time that we are taking part. I'd like a few pointers as to what I need to take along (other than the bike and rider) so that this first event goes as smoothly as possible for my son, which will no doubt revlove around me being sorted - and having everything I need to make it a pleasant first time out for the both of us. ANY suggestions, as to what to take would be greatly appreciated. Cheers - matt.

At our club trial on Monday afternoon there was 70 or so kids riding & only one TY80. I've heard that there hasn't been many sighted in the youth nationals this year either. Is it the end of an era?

Why not a youth World Championhship? Run the event on a similar foremat to the ladies world championship, perhaps even at the same time and on the same course.

Hello i hae a 13 year old son and at the moment he rides a 2000 sherco 250. He has got quite good so am thinking of getting a newer bike does anyone know the price for a 2008 sherco 250 thaks .

Are their any modification anyone has done on their Beta 80 to make it handle or ride any better.

Hello can anyone help I have been told that Lanyard cut out switches are going to be compulsory for all Youth classes in 2014 can anyone confirm if this be true Thanks Harveyb

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

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

Hi all, New here but not to bikes. I ride a lot of enduros, hare & hounds and have ridden trials in the past. My 9 year old son has been riding enduro and MX for the past 2 yeasr now on a KTM 50SX so is pretty good on a bike but is not used to gears. Hes done a couple of Enduros and rides really well. I want to start trials riding with him to help his balance practice this winter. Iv ridden trials myself but wasnt sure what bike to get him. I have been reading other posts and topics on here regarding junior bikes but im not sure of the size. He is quite short like his Dad but has good balance so I think the junior 80s would be ok for him. The 50s look small but im no…
