Youth Trials

Hi, I am after a bit of info please, my lad has done 2 yrs now on his 36volt OSET and is ready to progress to a petrol bike, I like the look of both of these bikes and have seen both in action, but was wondering about the pro's and cons for both before I sell the Oset. I Would be grateful if anyone has had any experience with either of these bikes or if anyone knows of a nice 2nd hand one up for grabs. Cheers Andy, Notts.

Hi i got a trials bike for xmas and i was just wondering which is the best club to start with in skipton north yorkshire aera ? I have been practicing at Addingham moor side is there anywhere else to practice?

Can anybody tell me what ages go against what engine sizes or classes for youths? I've two lads aged 9 (10 in Dec) and 7 (8 next Aug), and I'm not sure of what bikes they could ride on. I've had a mooch around on the ACU website but I can't find the info. I've just bought an aging Yam TY80 for them to get to grips with, with the idea that they can learn clutch control etc. They've both riden 50 & 80cc MX auto's before, but the boss is worried about them hurtling around a track doing MX. As I've just bought myself a 270 Beta, I was thinking that the 3 of us could go off and ride together etc. And finally, could they compete ok on the TY80 or would they need someth…

looking at the bikes on the market this year and they all look very good what's everyone's view and experiences with 2012's and any problems thanks frazer

Good to see we now have a new forum dedicated the youths. After all we need all we can to promote the stars of tomorro. And also thought I would be the first to put summat on it! Viva Trials Central

Well done to Dai And Kay Bedford and the club members for putting on a great trial on a great bit of land with a good variation in sections. Yes it was tough, it is a British Championship after all! The breeding ground of future Dougie Lampkins! This trial justified the considerable expense many parents incur getting their offspring there. It can be frustrating travelling to a national and finding a more testing trial could have been ridden locally! It was great to see the top lads have a five without the trial being lost. The hard sections brought out some awesome rides.

Hello, My son is 4yrs old and he rides an oset 12.5 with no problems . He just needs some good boots, size uk 9, eu 26. any ideas where i can get some?

hello, my son just started trials riding at the start of this year and has been using a beta 80. Most of this time he has been riding C class at local club trials. He is 14 years old and weighs approx. 7-8 stone. He is keen to get a 125cc bike but I wondered if this is to much to soon. If he did ride a 125cc would he still be allowed to ride C class. Any thoughts or opinions welcome. thanks

Our little un is getting on great with his 2008 beta 80 and i have'nt had any problems with the bike apart from the carbaration. I cant seem to get a consistant set up. Everytime i think its right it goes pear shaped. occasionally the bike races on tick over, occasionally suffers fuel starvation in a sections and has to be started on choke half way through a trial it then runs ok. To be fair if i clean the carb after every ride its better, but i cant help thinking, im missing something. I am using a 66:1 mix as recommended in the handbook and putoline oil and standard unleaded re-routed the throttle cable etc. Does anyone whos had beta 80's for a while have any ideas. Che…

My 13 yr lad had his first trial last weekend ( Waterside Club ) fantastic club, great event .... We got an 09 Gas Gas 125 with Renthal Fatbars on... Fitted some 20mm risers and he reckons feels much nicer like his BMX !! When he is on full lock , he is really outstreched . Was thinking of triming bar width slighty ? On the basis that what may be fine for a 6" 2 bloke may not be right for a skinny 12-13yr old !! any ideas of bar set up please, trials dad,s

Starting to think about what bike is next for my lad and wanted to hear of any experiences good or bad that you've had moving to a bigger bike. He is currently on a Sherco 50, auto clutch, very good bike and he loves riding it, currently in his first year of D class. He is starting to need something more though, and I'm not sure whether to move to a bike such as a GG Boy, which apparently has better suspension, brakes and more power, or onto maybe a medium wheel bike like a cadet or Beta 50? Don't want to over bike him, and put him off but I'm thinking more along the lines of a medium wheel bike. Any advice would be welcome

Hi, I'm just starting my 7 year old lad in trials, bought him a Beta 50, joined a club/practice area and we've had several outings now and i've just let him ride the bike, get used to the ground, go up and down a few hills etc but my question is what to do next? Do you just let them go at their own pace? - he's more than happy just riding the bike at the moment Try and get him to ride over more difficult terrain without him realising? Or just set up some small obstacles/sections and get him to try them? I don't want to push him to hard and get to the point where he's not enjoying it Cheers

Has anyone got any tips for me as I have just started riding trials and some tips would be nice thanks

Hi All, As you may have seen on previous posts regarding my son and his 125 I have now decided to get him on an 80. Im not sure which one though as Gas Gas have 3 models. On looking at the Gas Gas site he would be better off with the Cadet as this appears to have the 21" front and 19" rear wheels or may be the rookie would be better. He is a really good rider so im not sure what to go for. Can any one advise please. Thanks N

Hi, I just purchased a TXT 50 Boy and installed a 70 cc. kit on it. Does anyone know what jetting to use with this bigger motor? What mods could be made to the transmission to make it more direct in order for the Child to get power sooner and not wait until it revs. up like crazy.

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…

Just to remind all A And B class runners to watch Yeadon-Guiseley's web site for the regs. It's in February so it's an early start next year. North yorkshire lad will be there hopefully on his new bike. www.yeadon-guiseleytrials.co.uk

Since we're hopefully heading off to the UEM round in Spain, does anyone know the cheapest way to get across the channel? A rubber dinghy is out as we can't fit the van and caravan into one. I've managed to get some reasonable quotes but I'll bet some Yorkshireman has probably managed better!
