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…

Now available on Yeadon Guiseley's web site!!!!

Hello, Looking for a trials bike for my son who is 11 years old and 4' 6". I have seen a Beta 50cc 2003 bike for sale but wondered if it may be to small. It is to far away to view and not buy if it is to small. Any advice on size of bike and engine that would be suitable for him is appreciated. He has never ridden a motor bike. If any body knows of a suitable bike for sale let me know. Also looking for another similar sized bike for a friend. thanks Malcolm

I'm 16 and currently ride competitions, the only problem is I'm now on a 250, I'm with the acu can I 'legally' still compete on this, sorry if it's a stupid question, would appreciate any answers, I'm not the 'cleverest' of people so as simple as possible Thanks

I've been looking on the YMSA website for any news regarding this coming Sunday's event at Dudwood Farm but it doesn't appear to have been updated recently. Does anybody know if the trial is still on cos the snow in this neck of the woods is still quite deep and it is very icy?????

Just for those of you youth riders that dont look on the front page, The Midlands centre will be running a Midlands Centre Youth Championship ( all four routes) starting at Nantmawr Quarry on the 5th March. I will post some info when we get it with regs etc being available soon.

Due to the heavy rain making the car park impossible to use, the Stratford-Upon-Avon Club trial will now be at Saintbury Quarry and not Top Farm as advertised. Saintbury Quarry is just three miles from the original venue and will be signposted from the A44 at the top of Fish Hill near Broadway. Sorry for the inconvenience, please pass the word around. Pete

After taking my two sons 8 and 11 yearrs old to the dirt bike show, I have decided to buy them both bikes for christmas. I've ordered a new 20" eco for my eleven year old but am on the look out for a 36v 16" for my 8yr old. The thinking is that maybe next year the 8yr old will move onto the 20" so should get plenty usage from the new bike. The question is what do I need to look out for when viewing / buying a second hand Oset, this is new to me and would hate to buy a dodgy bike for my sons present. Any help will be much appreciated.

The Stratford-Upon-Avon Club are holding a round of the Homemaster Removals Midland Centre Youth Championship at Top Farm near Snowshill on Sunday 24th June. There will be four routes available to cater for all levels of ability and Youth A,B,C&D. The championship will be incorporated inthe clubs regular Dennis Bridges Summer trial, so is open to all riders not just youth, the entries are accepted on the day. Snowshill is signposted from the A44 at Broadway and the venue will be marked from Snowshill village. The trial starts at 10.30 Pete General Secretary Stratford-Upon-Avon MC&LCC

Hi, I've heard there is a "competition" clutch available for the Beta 80. Can anyone tell me how much this is and if you purchase this direct from BetaUK? Also, is this a straight swap with the standard plates? Thanks

My son has a ty80 and now has about 6 months experience on conducted courses, want to now move him onto a lighter bike , what do you recommend Beta Sherpa Gas gas ??? staying on an 80 any help appreciated, thanks in advance

Hi, As the title says really who's done it and what sort of issues did you come up against in the process ? Basically I have been in two minds to go down the petrol or electric route as a starter for my 8yr old, really not many decent petrol ones around (been searching for couple of months) unless you start spending £1k + and then you still dont know what sort of a life they have had ! Then of course after watching a few recent trials all the kids seem to be on these Oset bikes and looks like this is the way forward but after being brought up on petrol bikes I suppose that's why I wanted to smell the 2stroke bliss again but that coupled with the obvious noise differenc…

I think it,s a great shame that the Mintex time trial and the stDavids BTC trials clash as several of the top youth riders would like to take part in both events. I also understand that the Y.M.S.A. have a round of their championship planned for the same day, which will affect entries at both events. There are several dates in June with nothing much on, just a shame for everyone that the Mintex could,nt move to the 27th then all the top youth riders would be there.
