According to FB, there seems to be an issue with tight time allowances

After day 1 it looks well spread at the top of the leader board All to play for & looking at the weather forecast, it will play a major part, especially if the Becks are full What do the rest of you reckon? Any predictions ? Personally I'd like Doug to get one more

On the back patio Power wash the mud up against a retaining wall, wait for it to dry over next day or so Yard brush and shovel, to sweep it up Put the mud on flower beds Ultimate recycling

It all looks a bit precarious - what about the other Spanish manufacturers?

My Airoh never came with one, from new either In trials you could wear a pudding bowl & not many would pull you up over it Is a helmet even compulsory for adults?

Money talks............

Exactly It's so unpopular & so far removed from modern Trials, they have to run a ballot

I dunno The SSDT seems to have sections that i recognise, week in and week out, unlike Japan and the WTC, which only 10 riders in the world can attempt At the SSDT there will be over 200+, pitching in and been able to ride most or all of them It has survived because it is the Trial most people can aspire to ride, whether on a TY250 Pinky or a 2015 Factory 300 Beta - side by side It is a snapshot of every Club trial, every week..................just a bit harder It is what Trials is all about for the majority of riders who buy bikes, not some WTC circus I love going up to the SSDT, but have never been to Penrith WTC - despite it being only an hour away

Thank god for the SSDT, next week Let's get back to REAL Trials

Is that good or bad?

I think you raise done important points GB is out of the Euro & there will be a few other EC partners looking at us with envy because it has helped us out of recession quicker Good post

I don't think they'll perform like the real thing

Great stuff, thanks for posting

Good enough to virtually eat ~ delicious

Difficult question for a 4RT Never seen a standard one Everybody mods them You need an abundance of carbon, a HD bash plate & rear fender air box splash guard & a Mitani Ti exhaust for starters

5-10 marks lost to win, in an easier BTC round in other years @ a different location, was what I meant

It's beautiful rain, watching the world's best Trial

So, in that vain.................a BTC with a score of 5 for the winner is too easy? British rounds in the 1980's were oversubscribed, by good Centre riders and Britain's best Trials talent and the winner took it on 20-30-40 marks lost, but these were typically road trials, on single laps Maybe Butser was too hard, but look at the 1988 video and it was hard then - but after all there was a winner at Butser yesterday on a brand new marque - so not all bad Maybe the BTC should adopt a SSDT formula, with some long sections and a bit of roadwork, the SSDT doesn't seem to suffer from lack of interest

I think Dabill showed what the bike can do in all situations and he was well clear of anyone else on both days

Anybody got any any goods pics or vids, looks like it was a monster day with some massive scores posted, so any action would be gratefully received for those who didn't attend Well done Dibs on the new Vertigo and Dan Peace who manged a Top Ten place on both days

Dan Peace has had 2 good top ten rides both days, well done

Even better, ask to try one for a day and turn up in your own van in the morning, unload your clean bikes into the demo VW Caddy and go to the trial, see how it does in a muddy field After the trial, return to the dealers, with a muddy bike and dirty van and drive your clean van home

I use NFU Mutual too, not for bikes - but just like you I find them great
