i totally agree with everyone views on this topic and observing can be a bloody miserable long day which on sunday it was cold and long, but i always make sure i am polite and friendly to all of them and am extremely grateful for the job they are doing, and when i've rode each section for the last time i make sure i say thankyou to each of them, i too have observed on many occasions and no doubt i've put a mark wrong here or there. Its just frustrating when 15 marks more are on your score card.
Like i said tho, it was a fantastic trial with a fantastic venue and brilliantly marked out, i'd certainly ride there again and ride for that club again!!
