  1. You need mainstream tv. Listen up ACU, get Red Bull in and make a new version of kickstart. Knock on the doors of the manufacturers and say chip in a bit with bikes and riders and you will sell some bikes. Have a christmas special thats pro/am celeb special. Jobs a good un, Trials saved. Thank me later.
  2. the only things packed in are your legs in them ridiculous seats
  3. From a riding point of view, I cant see how going no stop is a good thing. All these riders practising the stop skills for years suddenly being told "you cant do that no more, you've been wasting your time" All I can hear is the 80's war cry "leave that clutch alone!". You only have to look at the kids at local trials, they are not watching the pre 65's thundering round. They are watching the experts hopping, air turning and front wheelying about. The stopping adds to the tension. These are our next generation and if they are not impressed then they are not interested. The theatrics add to the spectacle, everyone loves to see a bit of showboating. The FIM and the ACU need to sort themselves out and get Trials back into the mainstream and on TV. Everyone harps on about kickstart but look what it did for trials in this country.
  4. Does anyone know where I can get some montesa trousers and tops. Standard ones are fine, already know that banyeras does the factory repsol ones ( dont realy fancy looking like a works rider when I ride like I do). Any help would be appreciated (XL by the way)
  5. According to fim website it is shown on motors tv although i cant find a time or day in their schedules
  6. i think I will have a go for the the beta 50 with gears thanks,just to find one now. I think he we be ok size wise as he is in clothes for a 8-10 year old. Then somehow hide it till xmas.Will let you know how i get on.he has sat on a gas gas 50 and a sherco 50 and he looks a bit small for them already.Is a trial near clacton tomorrow, may go and have a look at whats about.Hopefully he will love it as much as your little one. Thanks
  7. I am currently looking for a trials bike for my six year old son. He is big for his age and .not ridden a motorbike before. Do i go for a twist and go (beta mini or gas gas 50) or a bike with gears( beta rev 50).He sits on my lap on my bike and has got to grips with the clutch and throttle. Also is the beta minitrial the same size as a beta rev 50? He has sat on a gas gas 50 and is the perfect size for him. What do i do? Heard bad things about the electrics on a gas gas and not willing to pay silly season prices.
