Youth Trials

Too cut a long story short, ive broken my thumb. Im now possibly considering quiting trials dew to I have my exams in a few weeks and will be starting work and after breaking my leg ive lost interest. So not sure what too do at the moment. So im out for a further 4 weeks, soo keep your eyes open western centre riders for a new observer lol. cheers Alex

They seem to be grouped around Yorkshire, a gaggle in the south of England and one in Wales. Even if Cheadle came back that's a big geographical gap in the middle that does not have a round. I remember Mansfield Maun running one when we went to a C/D round. So why this year when concerns were voiced about travelling costs etc do we have this situation??

Hi Dont know what to buy for my 14 year old. we dont have any 010s 125s in the country yet, so cant try one. We would like feedback on the new gas gas and beta. Bottom end power , smoothness, get up and go. Its hard to make a decision just reading the spec. Has the new crank in the gasgas made much differance. Pete

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?

We will soon start planing the final round of the British youth trials championship, and with it the indoor trial. I organised last years indoor all by myself from start to finish, and would not do it again unless it became a team effort. If there is enough intrest the IOWMCC may run it again, but we would like the opinion of everyone who attended last years event first. How many people would come to the Island if the indoor was run later in the year? One problem we found last year was that it used up people who should have been helping with the main trial on the Saturday, please let us know what you think and how important it was to the whole weekend etc etc.

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

Hi, I am new and have recently purchased a Gas Gas 50 txt boy for my son. The clutch fluid is low and needs topping up the owners manual says "Warning: Use the recommended oil. See quick guide to maintenance, page 8" Problem is no clutch fluid is mentioned on page 8. Is this just ordinary brake/clutch fluid ? Thanks

An ACU representative was at the British Sheffield Youth round and made an announcement at the start that the ACU was thinking of changing the ages of the classes. They wanted to change the age classes, and the knock-on from this would be that any youth in the second year of the 'B' Class would be moved up to the 'A' class for 2019. I seem to remember this was to allow a younger youth to move up to 125? I voiced my concerns to the ACU Offical (sorry cannot remember his name) at the time, and told him you will be pushing the riders on to a harder route, this does not seem fair or safe to those riders, who are all expecting to still be riding the 'B' class next y…

Hi, I'm thinking of taking my lad to the Youth A & B National Trial at Dob Park on 19th Feb. I know it's near Otley but can anyone be a tad more specific on exactly where it is. Is anyone here riding ... we'll look out for you. Anyone been to watch it before ? Is it really good ? When does it start ? Should we aim for the start ? When is it likely to finish ? should we aim to get there later in the day ?

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

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?

Is it me or has everyone who bought a 50/80 from 2000 on kept them at the back of the garage once little Johnny has out grown them, or am I looking in the wrong places? I'd happily buy a newish one that there are plenty of kicking about, but can't justify spending 2k plus for it to be used once and him decide he'd rather throw himself round like a ballet dancer playing football, despite his constant nagging for the last month+ to get him one

Hi First post.... We have a Beta 50 2002 mini trial rev and go, now has new clutch with new springs but will not tick over at low revs, (same with old clutch) stalls constantly when revs drop, or we turn tick over up high and bike gets to hot. I guess this is due to lack of flywheel on mx engine. Any fixes /advice please, my son is fed up stalling in sections, and I am fed up starting it!

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…

are 125cc allowed to run c class in acu events

Hi Whats the best bike for a small 10 year old to move onto after loving his gasgas 50 boy. Thanks

Is there any youth riders out there interested in riding in the Inter-Centre Team Trial in August for the Southern Centre . if you

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???

can anyone advise me on which bike would suit my 7 year old daughter, wanting to start trials been watching bikes on ebay and only see beta 50's or ty80. I think the ty looks a bit heavy in comparison to the beta,is the beta rev 50 around the 2003 year any different in size to the beta mini trial ? havent seen either. any thoughts on this one would be welcome andy
