The Michelin X-Lite under performed as Fujigas loses traction when riding on the ceiling

I think that when someone is a natural competitor then there needs to be some kind of challenge and sense of achievement albeit false in some cases due to them winning classes that they can win easily. At this point, even though they are deluding themselves, there is a sense of superiority. They no doubt brag to their work mates that they 'won' the trial at the weekend or whatever so to move up a class and be at the bottom to then have to work their way up is too much for their ego's to take.

We set-up a trial as a one off that you could ride whatever route you wanted to when you got to the section. If someone wanted to ride all the easy ones they could, and if someone wanted a bit more of a challenge on one or more sections then they went up a route ( or 2 in some case). You were scored and marked against the route you rode but the scores were arbitary and for no award (unless you rode one type of section for the whole route and the scores would be as you would expect). You could then just look back over your marks and see how you faired on the harder routes you rode and compare with others who ride those routes all the time. If you are just riding for fun then its great as how many times do you get to a section and wish you were riding a different route than the one thats laid out for your class just because it looks more challenging or interesting. Its cool if you don't take it all too seriously

Amazing stuff. Really impressive

You make a good point about driver skills and tyres but 4WD does make a difference. A big difference actually. That combined with intelligent traction control that is. My co-directors BMW had exactly the same tyres as my Audi and he couldn't even get his car out the drive let alone get to work in it. The Audi went everywhere I needed to go with no problems. Just get an Audi Quattro and drive one for a while in these conditions and then tell me it doesn't make a difference.

I had a Volvo XC90 a few years ago. AWD system on that was useless but driven in lots of snow in the Audi S5 Quattro and never got stuck once. The Subaru is nifty of course but for the more refined, you get an Audi Quattro

im not so smug now - don't have it anymore but, it is a good demonstration of how impressive the audi quattro drive train is

This is why you need an Audi Quattro ! BMW's are absolutely useless in this weather. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR4dJlz1PBE

Great well written letter making a lot of sense. ....... Head in the sand response though

If the GG does for Michael what it did for Dibs, then hes gonna fly !

X-Trials is a good name I reckon, after all, Isnt it just eXtreme Trials anyway? The purists amongst you may disagree but people who watch X-Games and don't know about indoor trials could be swayed to take a look. Anything to pull in more punters and get more people watching it is a good thing isnt it?

Cool thanks for giving him some work. It all helps with the Uni costs

That's pretty easy and needs minimal skill - even Andy could do that

Didn't know he was still doing stuff for you - No wonder its so good

Don't know who done the logo below but its a great job so well done

Always thought the biggest cocks come from Scotland! we had one running the country for long enough

You are kidding me right? He inherited the best fiscal position of any incoming government ( from John Major ) in 40 years and then succeeded to oversee the near bankruptcy of the country whereby he has been spending

I knew that was a joke when you said Policeman is called and arrives in 5 minutes!
