Im fairly new to trials, started in December. On one of my early events, I got penalised with a 5 for rolling backwards on a section. Not very far, maybe 10 or 12 inches. So im rather confused when I watch all the hopping about to see really good riders jumping backwards and even rolling backwards. This morning there was a clip of a rider bouncing his bike around and rolling back into a prime spot pointed out by his minder. Are there different sets of rules for club trials and national events? Im not moaning at all, just confused Cheers all

Just a follow up. Been on my new (to me) 4rt for the last 3 weekends. Starting to feel at home on it, much more so than the Beta I had before. The bike feels heavier, but more predictable and more planted. I love the throttle response, im still a bit jerky on the clutch, but im sure I can iron that out in time. Its already on the bench for repair having fallen foul of the well known fuel pump issue, whether the seller knew this or not, or whether I've just got unlucky is still up for debate. I've got a new Quantum pump to go on and will do oil, filter, gb oil etc. Overall, really pleased with my purchase. Thanks to everyone that helped out.

Hey. Sure this has been asked before. 260 vs 301 for novice rider? Im 3 months into trials and the beta 300 i bought is a real handful. A mate wanted it off me, so got my money back on it. I ride most weekends but just havnt hit it off with the beta. Ive been riding bikes for years, im just new to trials. I've always had 4 strokes in whatever sport ive ridden in and id like to try a 4rt before I have to buy another 2t. Cheers
