I bought the Learning Trials dvd, but some of the English audio (the actual lessons!) and the English menus did not work for some reason on either of two computers I tried with Windows 7!
I contacted Gondola, who were not so helpful, then I figured out the copy protection was causing problems with the disc and politely informed them.
They decided I was selling illegal copies of their disc because the copy protection was causing a problem, and said they will sue me personally if anyone anywhere in the world copies it!
It's very expensive for a DVD already with shipping to USA, and it's broken, AND they threatened to sue me! Once I was able to watch it, it's OK, well laid out and clear, but still wouldn't have been worth the cost if it had been working and they hadn't threatened me! You could probably find similar information on Youtube with some looking.
I'm the American here, this country is famous for silly lawsuits! I shouldn't have someone in Spain trying to sue me for watching the video I purchased. I just wanted to learn about trials!
It's not copy protection. The DVD is recorded in PAL format. We use the NTSC format in the states. You could try ripping the DVD to .AVI or .MP4 using your computer - it might work. The only sure way to view it is to get a DVD player from the UK or EU.
Camborne Redruth MCC are scheduled to hold a Trial at St Allen on 16th Sept. Web site is www.camborneandredruthmotorclub.com. The regs will be posted a few weeks before. You will be most welcome.

That's GREAT. We're staying in Redruth from 9-16 Sep. Thanks!
My wife and I will be visiting Cornwall, from the US, this fall (9-22 Sep). I've tried searching this and other UK Trials websites to see if there is a Trials competition being held in Cornwall during this timeframe; but have not come up with any positive results.
Alice and I both ride on and off-road. I'm a MSF DirtBike School and StreetRider Course instructor. I'm trying to convince her that trials would be a fun thing for the two of us to do together - and observing an event for a few hours (or participating in a day of training) during our UK holiday may just do the trick.
So, any information on a Trials event or training opportunity in Cornwall during mid-September would be greatly appreciated.
