^ As said, looks like an ordinary poly pocket would do at a pinch

Motocross manufacturers have been in denial the last 30 years also, making bikes louder and louder just to gain an extra bhp. Knock 10 dB of every bike and they might just come sociable again. The guys at the top aren't in tune with grass roots. Trials is no different

Every reply you make gets more pathetic
-
Seeing as ive attended and competed in a lot more WTCs than you then im sure its more reality than your reality....
Ive stated my ideas lots of times previously, but guess who always pops up to disagree "Heffergm". If you weren't acknowledging what i had to say previous times, why should i even bother this time?
-
Sorry, but you're clueless (IMO). Id happily present them to people that can at least admit GP is away to the dogs
-
If you think theres nothing wrong your head really is buried in the sand
-
Thats the problem! Asking people like that!! How about asking the dozens of really good national riders who would want to ride a world round but cant because it means certain injury. Sacrificing the growth of the sport to please a few elite riders is what's killing it all!
-
Yep, increasing a trial from 2 laps to 3 laps will fix everything ?
-
Did you ever see Jordi Tarres ride?
In the end who cares? The sport was infinitely more competitive and entertaining to watch
-
You had it in the past, 30 years ago you would have had 70 riders in the top grade. 25 years ago easily 50 in the top grade. 20 years ago 30. Now, 12. See a trend? Maybe you weren't around to experience world trials back then, but everyone who has experienced both knows hands down that was the golden era. The entry is still there, its just less people able to compete the top class, therefore diminishing it.
As for trial2, i mainly flick through it when the highlights come on.

Without proper regulation, any sport becomes a runaway train, with less and less teams and riders able to compete at the top level. Many sports, including F1 have introduced numerous restrictions over the years to hold it back and make it possible for the small teams to compete and its still a 1 horse race! Trials has had none for the last 50 years, its no wonder its become elitist. Going to 2 classes was admitting defeat, there should have been a stand taken then to curtail the advancement and keep as many riders in the top grade as possible. 3 grades will only take GP even further away from the semi professional or good amateur.
All GP is good for at the moment is the top 5 and the odd spectator. It does nothing for the advancement of the sport and the aspiring amateur rider. When national champions cant compete at the top level there is something fundamentally wrong
-
World trials became a joke when it introduced 2 classes, and now you want to introduce 3?
-
I don't know what your intentions are but Id be very wary about spending money on a barrel like this or a piston to suit if you're planning to put it on a trials bike. A good chance its been tuned for something other than trials
-
No. Probably been on a kart at some point
-
Everything bar the tank. I think the thinner tank came in 2013
-
Most clubs i know have the results very soon after the end of the trial (which is great) what i hate is the total delay in making them available to everyone. They are like a closely guarded secret. A couple of pics and an upload to FB takes 2 minutes.
Back in the day you could have got the results in a saturday night paper or heard them on the radio on the way home. Waiting to monday for results that were completed shortly after the trial is not acceptable. I don't know whether its because the person who has been counting is totally sick of looking at them come 5 o'clock, but the amount of times ive said can i take a pic of these and share them around only to get a confused look.

Ive been caught with the same thing regarding Amazon Prime and BT. Transparency and your interests are not at the forefront of these organisations, only their short term profits.I know with Amazon Prime you can cancel within a short period for a full refund, maybe MotoGP have the same, although if you really intend to buy it then you have no real need.
Automatic subscription should be an opt in, not something to opt out of

Wheres your forks on the triple clamps? Maybe drop the clamps a little
-
Husky or husaberg didn't have a trials bike....
-
Not a fan of those general style of levers, but formula really did a good job with them in keeping them small and neat, so much so when i had them on my 2012 gg i never replaced them. If you're a newbie, then you might not know that standard levers aren't that much of an improvement over the ones you have
-
Why do you want to balance with the wheel straight?
-
AFAIK yes, but ive never seen inside a 2019 so cant say for sure. Try GGUK
-
2019 has a different spring and adjustable preload. Spring was previously 1.5mm. 2019 its 1.2mm

I kinda wish they had went back to trying a 1 for a stop, but oh well. Some people argue stopping showcases skill, and while i still believe riding something nonstop should be rewarded in some way, a 5 for a stop was much too harsh
Anyone else think a minute sounds rather brief? It used to be 1min30, and i guess they are maybe trying to keep it like non stop with very brief stops, but i bet theres a lot of nonstop sections at the moment that take longer than a minute to ride.
As for the extra point for the best lap, i didn't think there was really anything wrong before. Always thought 20-17 was very little gain for a win, so i don't really know if the potential to have 23-17,or even 20-19 helps. I guess it adds a bit of variation. Technically if the 6th place man has a best lap, then he will have the same points as the man who finished in 5th (11). Heck theres even the chance of the 6th place man with 2 best laps coming away with more points than the 5th place man (12v11)!! While unlikely, not very fair
I hate to be critical, but i guess its good they are trying something, the current rules were definitely flawed. I wish the fim were as forthright

Where did you get that from?
