  1. I rode a 125 Gas Gas around Scotland in 2011 no problem, even kept up with most things on the road, apart from 4RT's!
  2. Because the top 4 British riders on the World stage are Dabill, Brown, Challoner and Sheppard? Just a thought.
  3. I dont think the ACU are far off the mark with this, I just think it needs a bit more thinking through. I think the proposed "British Solo Trials Championship" should be a 5 round series, closed course, 30 riders of proven ability (i.e top 30 in 2012), in a similar vein as the success that is the North Berks Supertrial, maybe even make this a round of the championship. Have this on a Sunday and the Youth A+B championship or the Ladies championship on the Saturday. Both running TSR22A. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. The current S3 Parts Championship should remain and be called the "S3 Parts British No Stop Championship" running TSR22B. Keep the same rounds, simply a re-name. Therefore we would have the "British Solo Trials Championship" for the best riders in the country to show off what they can do. Stop permitted, massive steps. We would also have the "S3 Parts British No Stop Championship", anyone can enter (provided they are road legal) and ride a proper no stop trial.
  4. Is there an entry list yet?
  5. Do we have a final solo entry list yet?
  6. Another good reason for no stop, yet I thought you were totally against the no stop rules?
  7. Why don't the ACU implement a championship like this? They have it in the ladies championship so why not in the youths? I reckon it would boost entries massively, as I know many youth A riders who would love to ride in the British championship, but do not want to ride the full A class route. I know youth A's can ride the B route on a 'no points, no awards' basis, but why not make it an actual championship?
  8. Have to say, even though I am a fan of no-stop, the Westwood round was to be honest, rubbish. The venue does not suit no-stop at all, just about everything artificial and man made. Also some of the observing was terrible and incosistent, people given cleans when stopping, and also people given fives even though they didnt stop! I also think that the organisers were trying to go the other way from the 1st round, which got critisised for being too easy, and therefore some of the sections were impossible no-stop, i feel just to take lots of marks through fives.
  9. I made one for my GCSE technology, it's 500mm high, which to be honest to too high, although is good when doing big jobs.. Made it out of mild steel box section.
  10. New kickstart aswell, very similar to Jotagas.
  11. Good trial, early number didnt help... them gullies were like glass!
  12. No British riders?? What about Iwan Roberts, Jack Price and Billy Bolt in the youth championship class, Brad Cox, Tom Dexter, Brad + Dec Bullock in the juniors. All of these are young and British.
  13. Time was tight, but some riders made it round within time so it's hardly fair on these people if riders who should have blatently been excluded are allowed to stay in the trial, and score championship points.
  14. So how many people should have been excluded for going over 20 minutes over their finishing time, but instead were just given 20 marks? According to the ACU "Riders will be penalised one mark per minute or part of that minute up to a MAXIMUM of twenty for late starting or arriving late at any subsequent time control, AND THEREAFTER DISQUALIFIED". I'm sure a few people were exactly 20 minutes late but not 25 riders in the A class alone.
  15. I dont see how you can lay the blame on no-stop for the observer's error? I have seen errors in observing with stop and no-stop rules and unfortunatly there always will be, some will work in your favour and some won't. After all, observers are only human, so they are inevitably going to make a few mistakes!
  16. Section 6 was scrubbed after 1st lap, hence only 39 sections.
  17. The Yorkshire centre championship is to find out the best rider in the centre, not the best club, you have a team trial for that. I dont understand why you are obsessed with one club being better than the other anyway?
  18. Non-stop = TSR22b - "A failure is considered to have occurred if; i) the machine ceases to move in a forward direction". Stop when balanced = 5 You seem to be thinking of the old "Stop for a 1" rule that is now obsolete.
  19. Naaahhhhh, the SplatShop sticker on the wheel slot!
  20. Holiday cottage at Hawks Nest - www.wickenwallscottage.co.uk
  21. Bit different to today!
  22. According to Gas Gas UK website, it will be signposted from Junction 36 of the M1.
