Why not just go back to the company you purchased the machine from and ask for advice????

Jason Lawler another lad from the South West area

What happened to Martin Richards (Cornwall area). Another National rider in the 80s 90s

Looking back on some of the top riders in Nationals what happened to Paul Rose from Sheffield. A good steady rider and very well mannered.

Been watching a few videos on facebook, you tube etc of the current batch of WTC contenders. I cannot understand why they are still practising to balance, hop and bop, move sideways, backwards and never use flags. Looks good but a lot of 5s if it was a trial. Have the rules changed for 2016 - no flags and ride section anyway they want?

Pop along to the Bradford & DMC Beginners & Novice trial next Saturday. Steady trial to suit all beginners and wobbly dads. Look for bradfordtrials dot com for directions to venue.

Copy of correspondence between the Club and the ACU: Hi Peter Richard has kindly forwarded me your email regarding Bradford’s concerns about the circumstances of an Official administering first aid and then possibly being held liable if as a result of this first aid assistance, further injuries were sustained by the casualty. In a nutshell, this liability is covered in an extension to our Insurance policy. Basically it is recognised by the Insurer that sometimes a medic can be delayed in reaching the casualty and in circumstances like this the Official/Marshal may be required to perform first aid until the arrival of a suitably trained medical person. This is all covered under our ‘Good Samaritan act’ – so any further injuries that might have been caused by a non medical person would be covered by the ACU insurance policy and supported by the ACU if any further legal claim was to arise as the individual performing such medical provision would have been doing so in an attempt to make the casualty more comfortable or to save life. I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can help any further. Kind regards Gary Gary Thompson MBE BEM General Secretary

Not just observers. Top riders not supporting the nationals. The AJ this weekend has attracted 20 on the National course. Is it worth marking out sections for the top boys if they dont support these trials. (Thank you to the 20 who have supported the club, some for the last 10+years). This years trial 85% over 40ish Maybe next year mark just one course suitable for the Novice (Clubman) rider. (These are my thoughts not the Clubs)

I dont think so Entry for the recent YG ACU/Oset Championship see attached photo

Easy enough to buy on the day just outside the venue. Last time I paid less than 15 euros http://www.barcelonayellow.com/bcn-events/venueevents/4-el-palau-sant-jordi-arena-barcelona Been twice and no problem. The Barcelona round is normally fixed i.e does not get cancelled or a date change. Brilliant atmosphere when you join in.

Hello, I see that the 2nd hand rumour mill has started. (I didn't actually here if from an observer). How can I check from a video if they were instructed to count to 3?? This is not a rumour - When I was organising the observers at Hawkstone Park and Fort William, both L&M Events, all observers were asked to penalise the rider if they ceased moving in a forward motion. In the case of FW this would have been a 5. No counting up to 3 etc. In the majority of cases this happened, in a few cases it did not, as stated by many armchair observers in the forums after the FW trials. My question is 'what happened at the meeting with the observers at Penrith. Was an instruction given to count to 3 or anything similar? Can someone who observed at Penrith reply please.

See here http://www.acu.org.uk/News/2014/01/2014-ACU-NORMANDALE-TRADITIONAL-TRIALS-CHAMPIONSHIP/ You will find the regs under Round 6: August 3rd The Bootle Traditional Trial organised by Bootle Scrambles Club. Permit No 41976.

D Lampkin, G Jarvis, J Dabill, J Challoner or D Clark. Lampkin & Jarvis would be OK for the TDN type of section. Both still good enough. J Dabill top British rider at the moment. J Challoner or D Clark, both I think could compete on the TDN type of section. M Brown not fit enough yet. Ross Danby maybe.

Why be biased towards British riders? If they aint good enough why let them believe they are.

No I did not relax on laps 2 and 3. I suggested to the FIM, after lap 1, that another kicker be placed in the section to give the riders a chance of getting through. As i have said in other forums when a rider hits a rock face and his front or rear wheel slips down the rock face he is not moving forward. Therefore a 5 is given. Once this kicker was positioned the riders had more of a chance and I had a little more enjoyment.

Reading the comments I must have had a good 2 days. No expert has complained about my decisions on section 11 on Saturday. Only one complaint about section 12 Sunday. For the record I requested that a kicker be positioned in section 12 after lap 1. I did not want to continue putting the number 5 up. This was accepted by the COC and FIM section expert. The section was duly amended. A front wheel resting on a rock face and dropping down to the ground in my eyes is a stop. I am thinking of taking my expertise to the British \championship next year. This way I will see all you experts more often :hyper:

Cheer up, only a bit of fun. The Photos will be avaiable soon. If you PM me with your riding number and team I will pass it on to Barry. Glad you enjoyed it. Keep smiling

Yes

They would have been earlier but I wanted my tea first. This weekends trial at Parson Lee (See Calendar( wont be as quick. May be a couple of days before they appear on the site

Yes I made a massive balls up on the sections. No excuses no one else to blame. Not the clubs fault, mine. Ron CoC Bradford Beginners Trial 4/5/13.

Good.Just that I have not seen him in any results etc lately
