Why is the BTC and WTC not sustainable?

I don't think that any rule changes will make any difference at wtc, because the section difficulty will still be above what the top 20 in the world are capable of. Now 20 doesn't match the entry and that is perhaps where the problem lies. Where are and why are the second ten, Bethune Bruand Morris Gontard maybe connor, why do these riders disappear when clearly young enough and good enough. Would no stop bring them back? Also if the wtc finished and our best riders rode nationals every week would it not stop anyone else winning? Would that have a knock on effect and push younger riders out through finishing say 12th instead of sixthish? I really believe that there needs to be an elite championship to get the best of the best as a showcase for our sport, surely all the years that Dougie has been World Champion has helped the sports profile?

if its near and wont pop on are you using lubricant? I have gone to 80 but 60 is more common with lube on a difficult one.

Take a straw poll and how many riders are under 30 would you say?

Anyone see crosser in the Torygraph yesterday? Looks like trials can pay by the size of the house!!!

Which pundits where?

Much cheaper but if you get a real difficult one on a saturday night before a trial you will be more than happy you have the beader in the shed!!!

not always it doesn't

or a hairdo.

don't waste your time John, he's not worth the effort of being fair and reasonable.

don't feed the troll

Chuff all?

Whats broken in your opinion? I think john was suggesting that as you hadn't been to a WTC since way back that your opinion was not as valid as someones who had. I think most would side with John on that one.

Is that anything like the aussie clarke?

What a good idea, didn't think of that.

Well done to lusky, guess he found things tough with car sales nice to see the sponsorship in these times.

JC has taken the time and trouble to list alot of points, and used fact and experience to back it up. What point has he missed?

Have I missed something is it thursday?

Do sherco have the starting problem sorted on the 4t. I wouldn't want to break down, exhausted from kicking the thing and then hello grizzly!

So the ACU were at fault for letting people choose what rules they wanted?

so its really appleyards then?

Try dave renham I think he has good stocks or knows where to get stuff. In motion.

Which probably explains a lot. We live in 2009 and nothing much is free in the real world. To be passionate about a sport and not be prepared to part with a few quid once over so many years to see the best, defies belief. Having seen Dougie at his best has been worth every penny.IMHO.
