  1. Some of the small Citroen vans have scary brakes - push and pray variety.
  2. Useless piece of information - boat / ship propellers of all sizes suffer from cavitation.
  3. Pedants corner says - footing will be considered to have occurred if the rider benefits from any part of the riders body or any part of the machine (with the exception of the tires or the sump shield) touches the ground or an obstacle (tree wall etc) without stopping the progress of the machine.
  4. Dont know anything of Bert Flood. Would be interested in any info.
  5. When you take a dab does the observer give you a one or a two ?
  6. I thought that any part of your body (leaning against trees etc) is a one or more. Toes on ground whether the rest of the foot is on the footrest, still a one, or two etc. Its when riders argue / question such a point that some observers say, enough's enough. Many trials I got to you see people who used to observe, walking round, while club riders have to give their ride due to shortage of observers.
  7. First thing to do is get a Camel Back or similar. Hydration is all important.

    Multi Bike?

    I knew a RSM, nicest bloke you could wish to meet, nobody ever argued with him, even when he retired. I wonder why ?
  17. I take it that it doesn't mean an exceptional Caesar salad then ?
  18. Remember when your truing the wheel that as well as the side to side run out, the up and down run out. Adjust the spokes by small amounts. Tap them with a spanner or similar to see if they ring, if they don't its a sure sign they're slack. Also look at this http://www.trialscentral.com/cms/showartic...hp?articleID=98
  19. As in "your tackle is Beezer" said Bertie Wooster to his gentleman's gentleman ?
