cheers nigel.im using the strange noise in my shocker as an excuse for my resent poor riding. ill get the shock taken out and see if i can see a problem if not ill get it sent away.
the sections arent to bad the boys have gone 2 alot of work 2 find new and unused sections.so there is alot of new stuff.i think it will be mostly burns most of the lochaber trials are.should be a brilliant trial.
i wouldnt worrie about it to much sandy although you did ride the A route as im a witness to that.the boy who won also got disqualified for the same reason which i dont understand.well i didnt see jamie munn ridding so i cant be sure wether or not he rid the A route but i no you did so why you got disqualified i am unsure.just keep your head up and at stonehaven just do even better and prove you should have got points.
brilliant trial to day.excellent day out even though i burst my mudguard going through those trees on section 4.they were well dogie! glad to see so many lochaber boys managed 2 get out of bed and make the journey aswell.well done boys.
i guarante for the club riding we do gavin you will have no trouble with the frame!they are as solid as any frame it mite not have the beef the montesa frame does but its just as strong and looks wayway better polished!
do you realy think all the protective bits and pieces are nessesary?after all it is a trials bike not a show piece unless that is what you are planning?i think if you dont fall off and ocasionaly break things you are not trying hard enough but that is just me. not meaning 2 have a big or anything.its just my opinion.no matter what the condition(unless its been run into the ground and fallen to bits) when you come 2 sell it on you are still going 2 get roughly the same price as any other Montesa of that age?you could just save your money and replace the bit you damage eg.levers,grips,tyres and ive seen even the best of local riders breaking mudguards on montessas because of there awsome power.
dont blame you for wanting to keep your bike in imaculite condition though!
can anybody tell me wen shefield will be on tv or if i have already missed it?men and motors just seems 2 be showing hong kong over again?so if anybody could shed some light on the situation that would be great.cheers
just got back from shefield about half an hour ago.it woz a totaly brilliant nite and the best man won on the nite! atmosphere woz brilliant and i thought graham jarvis had an exilent ride,the best ive seen him preform.sean morris was also exilent to be the first rider out for his 1st time must have been very intimidating but he still did very well.but does anyone else think that wayne kershaw and martin crosswaite can put the riders off at times?anyway cant wait till next year!
all i think you have to do to enter the scottish school boy trials is get a copy of an entrie form afew weaks before the trial send it away with the entrie fee and turn up.you can download the entrieforms from the sacu website i think.and yes im planin a Montesa for 2005.just got alot of new bits and pieces for the sherco so im stickin with that just for now.good choice going with the mont chris.
everybody has their own style of riddin wether it is filking it around corners or jus simply turning.i personaly think flik turns can be a help but can cause you a 5 because of the no stop rule depending on the observer.so if you can flick it about use it if needed but if not dont what ever ridding style works 4 the ridder.
i have a trials cycle and have been ridding 1 for bout 2 years now.i found it improved my technique and ballance.i also found that i could adapt the techniques 2 the motorbike eg.flicking it about ,hopping,WHEELIES,stoppies and it also improves bike fitness.so i think it definetly helps 2 train on a push bike/trials cycle.
im sure i did no win the Bs today.had a poorish days ridding could have been better but it woz a brilliant day out.brilliant trial and the sections were excilent.
