WTC observations from an old fart
It would not prove anything .Even at club level the sport is at 2 levels riders that are 100% committed to trials and the other level are the play riders.

WTC observations from an old fart
From wikipedia Motorcycle trials, also known as observed trials, is a non-speed event on specialized motorcycles. The sport is most popular in the United Kingdom and Spain, though there are participants around the globe. Modern trials motorcycles are distinctive in that they have evolved to become extremely lightweight, lack seating (they are designed to be ridden standing up) and have suspension travel that is short, relative to a motocross or enduro motorcycle. Motorcycle trials is often utilized by competitors in other motorcycle sports (such as motocross or road racers) as a way to cross-train, as trials requires fine throttle, balance, and machine control

WTC observations from an old fart
The only thing put world rounds off is money or the lack of it , If you lower the level the same riders will still win just not loosing marks , So tell me this faussy why at a trial on the same course all the riders on the same make bike should be on the same mark as you point out the abilities are minimised The problems not the bikes its riders some will work hard to get fit and train hard on the bike and others lazzy thats why the need for all the courses , As for this" generation" the new bikes is all they know , When im at a trial and they complain that the section is to hard on a modern bike we used to ride it in twin shock days so yes its the bikes fault ! In 40 +yrs of trialing ive never seen a bike go through a section clean without a rider on it They all need to be ridden ,

adults future of the sport ?
Was at a trial today and the topic of youth trials and training came up, My feeling is to much effort is put into the youth riders training days half price enterys etc .Theres source of riders the new adults are just forgot about, its all about the youth and before you say "we need the youth for the future of the sport" .Think on this if they are youths now, how long before they can do the running of clubs and trials ? What we need is people NOW not in 10-15years time so is the youth really the future of the sport or is it the new adult riders ? and how long will adults be happy to off set the cost of someones child adults £15 youth £5

Why is it...
maybe people want to live the dream become there hero for 5hrs before going back to reality. What a sad world it would be if it was still black and white as it was back in the day "pre 65" dead dull not a sign of color just look at the photos ! i must admit i do find it very funny seeing them with a new factory replica bike all the gear and fall off in the first section

Tow bar & Dave Cooper bike rack
Hi i use a bike rack over a lot of years i think the only problem is how and were the straps go, ive found cars with roof rails are the best, as the strap goes up at a angle to the roof rail i feel /think it takes some of the weight of the bike ( all to do with weight transfer stuff ) if all the straps only go down to the bike rack im not happy with that way. I only use 2 straps , 1 round foot rest down to rack stop bike lifting / jumping 1 round fork leg up to roof rail bike sits solid, As said long as you have a proper light board and no plate and bikes not flapping about, ive found the police dont give you a second look

Ferrer entering Trial2 for 2019
In a way its good riders dropping down from gp to trial 2,but is it right ? it gives the young riders a bench mark to see were they need to be for trial gp .A lot off the younger riders have been made out or bigged up to be a lot better than they are. Lets face it if they dont bet these riders dropping down to trial 2 by a big amount they will not make it in trial gp Sad to see the wtc has turned out like club trials needing a class suit everyone

Have you noticed......
Yes these kids should be the next generation but the big difference is kids with push bikes get the bike and off they go ride around street / park or were they want BUT if the kid wants to ride a motor bike they need dad or mum to take him to were he can ride it ,so parents have to first invest into the sport just to see if the kid is interested in doing the sport so is the cost of bike /clothing /parts /transport /time/finding some were to ride putting parents off ? mostly the kids i see coming into the sport are from familys all ready in the sport
