Youth Trials

Looks like unless somebody steps in that the Bracken Rocks Event will be the only remaining round of the A/B Championship. I have to say that other clubs have managed to relocate the nationals due to the F&M problems and I would have hoped that a replacement could be found. As for the C&D could not Mansfield relocate and run the Trial the day before the A/B???

Wondering if a fly wheel weight on a 125cc Gas Gas Racing would be an option??Anyone any experience of this, does it help smooth out the bottom end??

Hi lads Is there anybody that is going the A&B Isle of Man national on the 15th of February? Any infomation onthe venue and has anyone seen the entry list? 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 My son is 16 years old ,17 next August, 5'10" He wants to start doing trials events. What size engine is he allowed?

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.

I am looking to buy my son a used 125 I have a 315 montesa but only play on it and dont attend trials So I have no idea which 125 is good or any issues the various models have. Thinking of a bike of around 08 vintage my two choices seem to be Gas Gas or Sherco any insights ?? thanks

Hi all, after a little advise, I'm looking to get my son a trials bike for his birthday in a couple of weeks. I have been looking at getting a beta 80 junior, but these are like hens teeth in the second hand market. Are 80 big wheeled bikes the same size as a full size bike?? I don't want to get him a big wheel and then he finds it to big and heavy and doesn't enjoy it! He knows his way around bikes, rides a ktm 65 in enduro. Can ride my bike but feels it's to big and says he wants a small one here he is riding mine to guage his size....

Just to confirm that round one of the 2009 championship will be in the Isle of Man, the first time we've held a round since the early 90's, can't remember the exact year but I rode so must be a while ago!!! Anyway, just wanted to say that so far the planning is going really well and it looks like it is going to be a brilliant trial. The sections will be based in a large quarry in the middle of the Island and should provide a real good mix of sections. There are some deals available on the ferries so if you are planning on coming over don't book anything just yet until we have the details ready to send out. By all means though send an email to me and I'll make sure some …

The tyres that came on my lads GasGas TXT50 Boy are pretty naff! Has anyone found any better replacements? They are 16" front and 14" rear.

Evening all, Mansfield Maun Motorcycle Club are launching their Midlands Minichamps Junior Trials Championship this year if anybody is interested. Building on the back of the successful Oset trials in 2018 they have decided to run a petrol powered championship in 2019 for riders making the transition to combustion engine machines. All six rounds are situated in Derbyshire and are in close proximity to the M1 corridor with 4 Routes being set out covering all abilities from beginners to advanced. They are also holding a juniors only practice day this weekend at Clipstone for all junior classes of electric and petrols. Thanks.

hi i am selling my beta rev 80 to get a new bike. I have rode my dads 250 beta and i was going to get one, But i recently went to a trial and found if i wanted to enter i would need a 125 because I will be getting the bike for my 14th birthday. I can get either 125 or 250 but i realy want to enter comps, and I also want a lot of power. will a 125 have a lot of power ? thanks for reading.

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?

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 …

Evening all, To compliment their Oset and Minichamps Junior Trials Championships, Mansfield Maun are holding a junior practice day on the 24th Feb. All juniors are welcome whether riding electric or petrol bikes.

just looking at the youth uem 2007 dates does anybody no where the location for the round in France is 8th April France? [big place] 22nd july Italy Lazzate [Milan] 18th August Norway [Hobol]

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.
