[4 stroke to 2 stroke]

.............and their local dealers sell 4T's too, so they can ride them if they wanted

Only top rider in UK on a 4T (a Beta) is Ben Hemingway

Toby Martyn did well on the 4RT, but has had the last two seasons on a 2T

Watching the Scott, the 4 strokes seem to make harder work of the sections, than the lads on the 2 strokes, for the same given ability..............just an observation

If 4T was better the other Trials manufacturers would have launched a 4T in the last 10 years, but they haven't

Only Beta and Honda

You’re forgetting billy green who is 5th in British championship and Sam haslam has just gone to Honda (John lee)

You guys keep trying to "help" an already small class by cutting it up into ever smaller pieces instead of thinking about how to get more people into it. It's short sighted at best. At worst you're advocating telling the best riders in the world they're not wanted anymore. Talk about destroying the validity of the championship...

Maybe another route will bring in more guys? If there was a middle class could that be a step closer for the top trial 2 riders and then the now trial 2 class could bring in more young riders?

No. 

 

How can we improve trials at this level?

World trials became a joke when it introduced 2 classes, and now you want to introduce 3?

So just go back to one route you’re saying?

Since there are only 10 or so regular GP riders how is your 5% going to work ?

The whole sport needs an overhaul, let's face it it bears no relationship to our domestic weekend riding (U.K.) .

We were only discussing how things have changed at the weekend, when we were young there were world rounds in cold wet countries and most seemed to be in the winter months, we now have a sport geared to big grippy rocks ridden in blazing sunshine it's no wonder the Spanish rule.

Also what happened to the indoor series if you look at the rider list it's more like a Spanish indoor world championship.

 

Maybe if there was a stepping stone to the trial GP class we would have more riders in several years down the line? 
This won’t solve the problem over night but could it bring more riders on?

Why do people think a extra course or class is the holy grail in fixing trials problems.

I’m not saying it is the solution. I’ve just noticed that the step from trial 2 to Trial GP is massive. What can we do to bring spectators to the trials and also bring on more young riders. Not just a couple.

Introduce anothe class for the top riders of trial 2 and then maybe the trial 2 route now will be open to more amateurs from that country.

Thoughts on a route between the trial 2 and trial GP class?

Is the step too big for the trial 2 riders to step up to the trial GP class.

upon looking at the results last year a few trials on trial 2 were won on less that 20, should there be a route between the classes to bring on the better half of trial 2 and make the step upto trial GP smaller.
