Youth Trials

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.

Is it possible to convert a beta 80 cable clutch to hydraulic? Any know what year they changed? thanks

I have a 2002 Sherco 50 and the fuel tank is leaking. I tried patching it with epoxy, fiberglass, fuel tank repair, and even plastic weld it and the best I could get was about 3 months use then it starts leaking again, I tried to buy a new gas tank here in the United States but no one has one, So I'm giving a shout to you folks in Europe to see if you can help, PLEASE Does anyone know where I can buy a fuel tank for a 2002 sherco50?

right, thought of giving the british youth ago and see how i get on, has anybody got any info on what to expect and the terrain that will be used. thank scott

Hi all I'm new here! I'm a lifelong motocrosser but I did a few trials a few years ago on my Montesa 315R and loved them, all as part of winter training for mx. It helped me no end, and though I'm useless.....I got a bit better eventually! Anyway - it's time to let the new generation take over - my son was 9 in June, he had an Oset when he was younger and he's been racing mx for the last couple of years and is just moving onto a 65, so can use gears and clutch . I really want him to get into trials over winter and we already have ACU licences so sorted there. Question..... What bike should I get him? He was born in 2006 so I'm guessing an 80? Whatever I get it would be…

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?

There is a change of venue for this weekends trial it is now going to be held at Crowborough east sussex details can be found on the www.kytc.co.uk

Here is a list of the riders who have been invited to ride in this years British indoor youth trial on the IOW on Saturday Oct 14. Could all riders Email me to except thier entries, at Alnstay@aol.com. Alexz Wigg, Ross Danby, Jack Challoner, Rob Andrews, Nigel Crellin, Miles Jones, Ben Morphet.

OK so round two of the British youth A/B championships Sunday and i think it's all about who will come second to the JLI Beta UK boy's Challoner & Sheppard. Youth B must have MRS team member Richard Sadler looking to push Sheppard all the way but as for A class, who know's I think that the team Gas Gas UK riders had a Sh*t day at Dod park and will come to Cheadle full of fire & venom and out to make a point. The only twist in the tail is the fact that the Cheadle round has a reputation for being an easy trial and at easy trials mistakes pay dear. Anyway at 10am Sunday the Bull Sh*t will stop, and Five & half hour later we will see who's boss.

ive been riding for a bit i want a trial wat is good fun and not dead easy any help will be thanked

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

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

Has anybody got any advice on going too and rideing in the c class nationals as my son would like to ride in all the rounds this year in the 80 class

just like to say bloody well done to jack, with a full page spread in todays tmx finaly giving him the regognition he deserves (and stating he's from ipswich finaly rather than norwich) you wont meet a nicer lad or more talented and dedicated one than jack, (how many other youth brit champs had a section to observe at the scott this year!) so well done again mate and good luck in the "A"s next year from all in the eastern centre.

Just bought my lad an unused 2005 Gasgas Boy TXT 50 (with the later 2006 trouble free generator/engine fitted). He has had a year racing a KTM 50 Auto but now wants a go at trials riding. Having a manual, yet automatic clutch confuses me! And riding it slow seems to require continual opening and shutting the throttle to move forward. And is the clutch lever simply for lifting the front wheel when the revs are up and the centrifugal clutch already engaged? Can anyone with good experience of this bike suggest the best way of riding it, or/and and modifications that are worthwhile making? Any help at all would be very much apreciated. Even bought myself a 2004 Beta Rev3 250 …

We will be running a kids route alongside the main trial tomorrow at Knitsley. The format will be the same as was done at the last trial, where we used the main trial sections, mofified slightly then rode four times and moved onto the next section. Kids really enjoyed it - a great way to spend a Wednesday Evening. For the parents, at the end of the trial the car park is immediately next to an excellent country pub ! Bring the kids along - as usual nothing dangerous and have some fun ! cheers John

Lots of people have talked about this graet event last year, is it happening again in october????
