Wonder why the 'others' aren't coming, ishy put the link on, although have you noticed the number of posting on Trials Action has dramaticaly gone down.
Ahh, I'll miss the TA...Kind of.
Andy, Can we have the 'useless' Chistmas Lights up this year, like on TA last year? Maybe the snow?
I also agree with the thropie/award thing you mentioned.
I know just about every other sport were I live gives awards out for football, cricket, rugby, school achivements and alsorts.
However in trials this is a limited thing. They need to realise that they ARE going well in something that they do. They need something to say that good at their hobbie, and something to show their mates.
It doesn't really have to be a trophy, maybe a certificate of achivement.
Were limited on riders now, we need to keep them interested in trials, and they must know that they are good at it, otherwise they will give up and move on.
Thats some good reading there Alan, and some good ideas.
One that I have thought of about the riders getting 'lost' when moving on in the sections, why no have a section map.
Simply a laminated picture of an arrow, or a piece of map and use some cable ties to attach it to a tree, this way they wont (hopeful wont) wonder off.
Also, when making the sections, all riders have different abilitys, weaknesses, etc.
When the riders check in in the morning, give them a short questionnaire, asking questions such as their age, and favourite things in the sections, get the results in and blend them all in to create the sections suited to everyone.
I am right in thinking that a 4 Stroke engine is normally used for speed, rather then power?
So if a four stroke engine is tuned for speed, if it would be used for trials it would be untuned to get a mixture of both power and speed?
About the other topic of hating the four stoke, what that all about? They might not look the business, but when it comes into riding they MUST be better or near as good as the 2 strokes. They have to be, riders can't go back down the ladder of technology, after all its taken years to get up it since the 1980's when 4 strokes were in, now with it being in 2003 the technology is far better then it was now. We have a greater understanding of engines and are able to make a 4 stroke as good as a 2 stoke.
