Last event for the German Trials Championship, held in Osnabrück (North Germany). Nice to view a longer video too with interviews with: - Franz Kadlec, - Therasa Bäumle - Ina Wilde and Gerd Bücker who is still since 1977 responsible for trials riding on the Piesberg "mountain" , so next year will be a big anniversary with stars from the 70's and 80's ... http://www.dmsb.tv/video.php?id=422

Ok it's a long drive unless you have a friend in Spain to lend you a bike. But I rode the 2 Days Trial Encamp last weekend, fantastic trial, really recommend it. Single lap each day of 20 sections, yes that's not that many but it takes around 7 hours each day as it's a long way round. If you have ever ski ed in Andorra the first day is based on the ski slopes of Soldeu and Pas de la Casa. To make the trip worthwhile contact Sandra Bonet, this lady provides accomodation a few km from the start and also does trials excursions. So you could do a few days practice / trail riding in the pyrenees followed by the trial.

Hello everyone, Im looking for ideas to help our sport here in america . Do you have club dues or riding feesif you so how much? , do you hand out trophies or ribbions, how do you set up your sections? Do you have to have a license?

Known for aircooled models , in an almost last gasp of breath both Mecatecno and Merlin produced prototype water cooled trials bikes , desperately trying to keep up with the machine evolution . Only brief recollections of the Merlin prototype is recorded anywhere . Practically nothing was written, all was forgotten and the whereabouts of the bikes were completely unknown. Then a friend and avid collector in Spain stumbled across them both in the space of 1 year......and has added them both to his collection. Since then he's researched them both a little more. When i was down there recently i had to visit them for photos and learn their story. Here it is , …

Just had the reg's drop through the door for Joel Corroy's trial at Arbecey. Two days 20/21 st August. Anybody thinking of a little trip across the channel or can take it in whilst on holiday, its well worth it. Four routes 100 km of interzone with 30 sections per day. Camping on site. Saturday night evening meal with accompanying rock band.. Joel really knows his stuff and his trial is excellent, up there with the best trials to do.... in France... See you there..

Following on from another thread, my club here in the best part of the Dordogne , near to Sarlat are organizing a classic Pre 65 / Twinshock trialing day 1st May. Anybody on holiday from the Uk able to fit and load up the bike rack without other halfs noticing and also any Spanish chums who would like and fancy a real good day in the French countryside you are welcome to come along. Twenty sections over a Saturday afternoon and Sunday, as many laps as you fancy. There will be a very modest entry, fish and chip van on the day and if numbers allow a Saturday evening meal to help empty the French wine lake. If you need any further details emai me l Hamish.eadie@gmail…

How can I find out about French trials,I hear they have several 2 day events and a 4 day. Anybody know how to find regs and dates etc please. Thanks

Hello, on the 17th of April a friendly side-car trial will take place on a spot known by the 4 days trial riders. The best 15 French and Belgium teams are taking part and we would be glad to welcome some British teams also. If someone is interested, please contact me. Best regards. Luclim

Gents - a few of us are going to venture into Europe in 2015 and would like to do either one or both of the Ventoux / Roregordo in 2015 ....We will have people travelling from Carlisle & Manchester / Wrexham so its a proper "Road Trip" and with between 6-10 possible riders. I understand the dates are around the beginning of October - can anyone confirm the dates ?? Some help on the following would be ideal. Best way to travel ie : Overnight Ferry to Santander / Bilbao ?? with 3 people & the bikes in a van and the others flying and meeting there. What is the nearest village or town to the start of each event. Any special requirements for the twinshock / C…

A very nice 2 day event

Poziv za sve trial vozace i one koje ovaj sport interesuje!

Entries are now open for the above event which is based in the Italian ski resort of Bormio. Sections are ok but the run round the Alps each day is absolutely fantastic. Stick Tre Giorni Valtellina into Google for the regs and get yourself there. Lots of video footage from previous years on YouTube

I will be in Portugal and Spain in some weeks. Any tips on clubs or something near those cities?

Enduro might be a little offtopic for this forum, so I will only ask about trials I am looking for a trials school, preferably in Spain, I am total novice to trials and would like to start with some experienced teacher, I am looking for a place where I could go for a week or two to learn the basics. My goal is to improve my enduro skills. I searched google and have not found much information, I hope someone here might have more information, thank you

Anybody looking to do a very good classic trial should consider the Joel Correy organised trial at Arbercy 22--23 August. Two day trial, 60 sections and around 25 miles of interzone. Meals and rock band organised for the Saturday night. There will be four routes ( Three usually for pre 65 ) and having done this trial before its excellent. Contact Joel at Trail 70 Vesoul for further details and entries ..

Can anyone suggest any websites or clubs that I can contact as a group of Southern middle aged clubman would like to wobble and fall off around Southern Belgium later in the year? Somewhere in the Ardennes or Namur etc would be good.
