see you got your name in print in the programme issue of TW then i did

I would very much appreciate it if everyone would also get behind Ross in the Youth - It would be great for him to take his first World Podium 1st at Hawkstone along side Dougs 100th Cheers in advance

Well you may be surprised to know that is the very reason they have changed it

It does talk about some geometry changes to the chassis but how significant these are I wouldn't know.

There are a few historic problems with Flatheads namely poor efficiency, and heat dissipation when stressed. I think GG have been bold to go for such an engine and as it also has EFI as well, they certainly have surprised me. However, It should be good for low down grunt thats for sure so I expect it to make a very good club bike! IMHO

Looks interesting although Flat head technology

For trials to go ballistic in the US, there needs to be big money in the sport. If you have a son/daughter growing up with some talent, you will steer him/her towards a sport which will earn enough money to pay the bills in future. Unfortunately with trials, its the other way round, its more about paying bills just to compete including money to live IMHO

Another trials game to play when you're bored. http://www.net-games.biz/funny-games/Stunt-Dirt-Bike.html

I just watched the vid below and thought if there is anything you think that a human has done to top this ?

So what do you suggest he does then ?

Looks like Browny had one solitary 5 for the whole trial so don't know what happened. Anyone know?

Must be the Czech women spurring on the Brits! Even the photographer is on form too though that doesn't explain why Laia Sanz done so well

Good post Gizza5 and very much my sentiments too.

Well Done Patrick Next year its an almost certainty that he will be Youth World Champion if he contests the series!! That US World Champion you were looking for will be coming sooner than you think

Youth scores -- PROVISIONAL VIA PHONE Smage wins again !! Smage 1st on '0'; Ross 2nd on'1'; Millan 3rd on (2); Gomez 4th on (2); Cervantes 5th on (4) Ross says it was pretty easy but never mind - good result Wiggy is winning his class at the moment !!

Autoruns can be downloaded by clicking Here I use this too but be wary as its a very powerful tool. Similar to a Raga GasGas 300

The only thing I remember from watching the scrambles at Ringwood from late 70's was the noise of the CCM (was it Vic Allan/John Banks?) and the smell of Castrol R .

I did read this thread a bit fast and didnt take it in I was looking at the tmx site for it and wondered where it was. But as they are slipping a bit lately in getting the comps up in time I wondered whether they had missed it! Doh I looked at the acu western site http://www.acuwesterncentre.org.uk/2007events.html and I see its a centre championship trial. That is a nice venue but the weather is looking a bit dire for tomorrow so may give it a miss.

Click on Start then Run and then type in the box msconfig . This will bring up the System Configuration Utility When its open, click on the Startup tab and it will show you what is running at start up. If you uncheck the box of anyone of the programs, they wont start at start up. If you are unsure what each thing does, copy the name and google it to find out about it. When the computer restarts, it will come up with a box reminding you that some settings have been changed. Click OK then click OK on the next box then click Exit without restarting and then the computer will boot without those programs loading and running at startup. You can always go back and reselect them again if you wish. A few other things cause slow start-up like the following :- Fragmented Drive - run the defragment tool found in Start > All Programs > Accessories > System tools > Disc fragmenter Non Optimised Registry - Install this Crap_Cleaner - this will clear out a lot of problems but make sure you back-up the registry as instructed. Good Luck

That venue is only 30 miles from me so I might see you guys there as well then

Great vid ! Bit of a tall order asking the guy to ride a section after just 2 days on a bike! Also, give the guy a break and get him on a gasser and not a 4t! Just watched it again and I reckon he rides better than me

Yes mate, I done it for him... and what a most enjoyable job it was too

Well, if he gets the hang of it, get him to feature some trials in one of their vids

I would agree with that. The GG does seem to ride well (Coming from a Sherco) but peeps do have problems with them if you don't look after them or give them heavy abuse. IMHO

F1 is a little like Honda Montesa in Trials - The most successful teams have loads of dosh so they get the best drivers, mechanics, designers etc etc and they spend the most on development. When you look at the lap qualifying times, theres just 10ths of a second between the top few, then it levels out to be as much as a few secs to the back of the grid. Considering the millions they spend on running the 'slowest' car its amazing any sponsor would support it. Just think what they would get if they spent the money on a trials team! It also makes you wonder why the drivers 6th on the grid and beyond bother at all And another thing.. I thought the race today was boring and the pit stops just leave you confused as to who is winning. They are expecting the punters to do so some maths whilst the race is on! NOT a good idea me thinks
