No its not bo**ocks, the Scottish is a serious International Trial, & I'm sorry if you disagree, but if a rider struggles to get round the course, never mind the sections, then I'm sorry but they should'nt be in the event. I'm not saying that all riders should be experts, I'm no expert, but surely common sense should tell a rider if they are up to it?

lets not forget something here, the majority of the entry in the scottish is made up of clubmen and yes some of them do struggle their way round pushing,pulling and getting stuck in the bottomless bogs but lets be honest here who hasn't struggled at some point on the way round the scottish.Thats the beauty of it everybody has a chance to get an entry regardless of their ability, so why try to make it elitest.
