Langcourts are the go to guys in the uk for re nikosealing mx barrels at least

You're right, i think he just should have moved up the previous year, he was more than capable to. As you say, roberts and gelabert were basically identical 2015, but gelabert moved up and has progressed big time and is now by a long way the best up and coming young'n. Roberts stayed back to win trial2 and i believe has suffered. I dont even think the teams value winning trial2. All im supposing is a reason as to why gelabert and farre have jumped the 2 brits. There may be other reasons as well, but i think at that level you have to be pushing yourself constantly, staying down to win a championship may be good in the short term, but if the class is beneath your ability i feel its a wasted year of progress Theres many ways to skin a cat, but ultimately its a race to the top of trialgp, not trial2

And its a lot more than hopping from rock to rock on the back wheel. Trials is about a variety of terrain. You do realise at world level trials is running at pretty low numbers for a good while now (around 15 in a top flight world round), perhaps regressing to its roots would be a good thing

Ill let you look up this years standings

You seem butt hurt about your abilities. Facts? Im stating how the championships panned out. Try looking up the 2015 trial2 championship final standings and compare them against this years

Another keyboard warrior? Explain please My point is that gelabert and farre didnt hang around in trial2 to win it, they moved up because they thought they should. Now they have jumped the two guys that stayed behind to win it. Its not a theory You're now classed as an expert rider? I feel pleased for you

Dont know what that has to do with it, but i am national champion in my country. Yourself?

Insulting? Gelabert/farre/price/roberts were all much of a muchness a couple of years back, with farre probably being the weakest and roberts the strongest. The two spaniards moved up (neither winning trial2) while the 2 brits stayed down, to win trial2. Now look at how they score! Its not insulting its telling it as it is.

Yes, 2000 was the 1st one, won by Raga

You need to watch more highlights of last years world round, around half are proper 100% natural muddy hill goodness I agree with most of this, but the reason we have a lot of british winners is because they are too interested in winning it instead of moving up. Gelabert/Price, Farre/Roberts are a perfect example. Bou was too busy frying bigger fish to even bother with the junior world cup let alone win it Interested to see how long peace and martyn waste trying to win it

I disagree. A few sections yes, but they sure know how to put in a few good steep muddy banks! The fact that a few are man made and its still more natural than most venues is the irony!

And did you look at the first two rounds? He got beaten by guys who arent on the world circuit, some (with no disprespect) who arent even close to being on the world circuit while at venues with terrain you wouldnt get much of in Spain. He finished 6th one week, and 10th the next at a british round. 10th!!!!! That was collyolly's point about other riders shining on different terrain Tong IMO is a pathetic attempt at a british rnd

Great story. And then they say bultacos arent pre65

AMEN!!!!!! A lot of the outdoors are just becoming another outdoor indoor trial. Japan is one of the few that survives. Its more british than the british round!!!! Also remember a "rather good" spanish rider rode the BTC a couple of years back, including the buster limeworks, and got a "rather good" whooping He finished 10th at the limeworks!!!!

I think youre taking the definition provided by the dictionary too literally. I would go as far to say the dictionary is inaccurate or wrong (certainly not the first time). Wikipedia (not exactly a more reliable source lol) has a section on non racing motorsports which includes trials. Its impossible to define it as anything else im afraid, and one person that would definitely view it as a sport would be your insurance company if the situation ever arose. They look for a chance to get out of everything

But it is pronounced jota as a letter J, so in any acronym or initialism it will be pronounced Jota. Just as when we see the letters JGas (which clearly isnt a word we recognise) we in English would not try to pronounce it as its written but say instead "J....Gas". In spanish this is Jota....gas. How do you say HRC? Surely you dont say something sounding like "herka". Or WWF? "Wuawuaf"? JGas is a kind of half acronym, initialism, so should be pronounced as one, Jota_Gas

A "J" in Spanish is called Jota, same in Portuguese, the guy is 100% correct. You're failing at trying to make him look stupid

Super soft (aka, flat as a pancake )

And then the bike runs out of fuel halfway through the section! Been there done that, more than once

I didnt realise you were meaning junk as in their build quality. In regards braking efficiency they are better than the AJP

Sorry, but thats just plain false

You're missing the point, they aren't, they're killing it! Today, its infinitely easier to makes things more accessible, yet theyve found a way to make it less

Anyone remember when they used to have a trial review dvd at the end of the year? Outdoor and indoor Anyone remember in the 90s when they had a whole dvd/vhs just for sheffield alone?!!!!!!

For me indoor trials peaked in the 90s, early 00s, its been downhill ever since. You just need to look at the sections, (especially Vendee) they arent much better than your local trials display team sections, few cable reels, skips, concrete blocks, and scaffolding that looks like its been brought in from the nearest building site

Well until recently he was the best UK rider on a sherco, so i guess. Swapped it out for a reiger. Personally i think the ohlins is a little old hat at the moment, reiger have certainly took things to a new level.
