I doubt if you will ever see another seven, by the very nature of what they are now riding, injury will play a bigger part Im guessing.

Now dont you go pointing your finger at marcswan, Barry !

See that the 2008 range has listed a Pro, black frame, and a Pro Racing series with a red frame. Anyone any info on the difference other than colour.

I think you are pretty much right here Toms Dad. The other brilliant rider to be overshadowed had to be Bosis. Young Brown I saw when he was in Australia, and to me was the pick of the crew that came on over for our SuperTrial. If he could be picked up by Montesa and get his mum to give him a few extra feeds, would not be surprised to see him really charge up the rankings.

Cope, Looks like black is the "in" colour in the new models.... passed on updating to an 07 Gasser because of the colour. Now which bikes are not black ?

Your not an ethnic Tim, you ride a Gas Gas.

Fark.. what have I done. I put it down as a Friday funnie to see who was on the ball ( it was still Thursday) and Ive become a terrorist... Oh yeah Slapshot your nothing but a big skite.

Yea thats it Cope, but unlike those Scots, we dont wear dresses... Unlike us Scots though, you lot ain't man enough to be able to wear a kilt Now dont you go jumping to conclusions Slapshot,I once tried a kilt that was borrowed from a friend in the local pipe band,a great big strapping lad he was too. The problem was we could na get the hemline low enough to venture out in public....

Yea thats it Cope, but unlike those Scots, we dont wear dresses...

Strailya Mate An Australian, a Kiwi and South African are in a bar one night having a beer. All of a sudden the South African drinks his beer, throws his glass in the air, pulls out a gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "In Seth Efrika our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the same one twice," he says. The Kiwi, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "Wull mate, in Noo Zulland we have so much sand to make the glasses that we don't need to drink out the same glass either," he says. The Australian, cool as a Koala, picks up his beer and drinks it,throws His glass in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the South African and the Kiwi. He turns to the astonished barman and says,"In Strailya mate, we have so many bloody South Africans and Kiwis that we don't need to drink with the same ones twice."

Checked mine, and it is clear, no numbers or letters.

guarented to get a 3 every section..

Molly whats the brand of chain lube are you using, Ive been looking for something that gives them sort of results .... Im gonna spray my good looking neighbour with some of that chain lube and hope it works for me....the quicker the better Im hoping...

What other sport can you get on a bike ready to enter a section and be told to use your own bike, matey ?

Looked like a bunch of flashers to me.....in them overcoats...not that Ive had much experience now !

Probably gets a real buzz out of beating a multie world champ than getting his arzz kicked on the WTC.

Andy, your navigator could be your problem....

no disrespect to shaun but he is not usually top ten in the WTC. The fact that dibs dropped only the few he did in Scotland surely means that the wtc needs harder sections. The two trials are incomparable, and one caters for the worlds elite and the other, well, I could ride that if i got fit and took some magic potion which would make me 20 years younger/ slimmer. That aside the impression that all the wtc sections are 15 ft splatters is not at all accurate. Will update from France this weekend if of intrest? Tim, I agree with your observation. The old type section that has the many variables, such as water, slippy off cambers, mud and combinations of these elements coming at you without the luxury of being able to stop. levels out the playing field. Many skilled riders have very impressive results against world ranked riders where sections are set where the wheels are predomonately on the ground. The bike skills that are shown by the WTC riders, that require the higher gears and enormous thrust and speed is the platform that seperates them from most mere mortals. When you combine that with their ability to be able to monouvre there machines with either front or rear wheel hopping, stationary 180 degree air turns,again the gap widens. Then add to that,because of these skills,the luxury it presents them of breaking a section into progressive obsticals. Positioning their machines and setting off with composure is again only a dream for most. I know this is all bleeding obvious, but theWTC has now a very slim starting lineup because of the section severety and the lack of riders with the skills, desire, money to compete. Dibs may only have dropped 20 points over the six days but his scores, are as yet, short of challenging to step up regularly to the podium in the WTC. Half your luck to be able to attend on the weekend ND.

What about Cameron Diaz ? Who's he then. Think he's a Mexican window cleaner from round Atom's stomping grounds. ohhh. Does he give a good polish Atom. Billie,lets see now, if I eat well things will look up, and Atoms recommending a bit of Cameron Diaz, (not the gringo one )I'm on the right track then !

Hey Billy, thats interesting, while your on about little things that stick out, whats the best anotomical resting place recommended for the other in or out bit...I'd like to improve my strength and alignment ? Any trainers you could recommend ?

Looks like you got a good one then...

Thanks for that HL. What are the circumstances that can earn you the big E.

HL, what is the E in the far right column of some of the lower placed riders on day three.

Punes my man....

A little boy comes down to breakfast. Since they live on a farm, his Mother asks if he had done his chores. "Not yet," said the little boy. His mother tells him no breakfast until he does his chores. Well, he's a little p****d off, so he goes to feed the chickens, and he kicks a chicken. He goes to feed the cows, and he kicks a cow. He goes to feed the pigs, and he kicks a pig. He goes back in for breakfast and his mother gives him a bowl of dry cereal. "How come I don't get any eggs and bacon? Why don't I have any milk in my cereal?" he asks. "Well," his mother says, "I saw you kick a chicken, so you don't get any eggs for a week. I saw you kick the pig, so you don't get any bacon for a week either. I saw you kick the cow, so for a week you aren't getting any milk." Just then, his father comes down for breakfast and kicks the cat half way across the kitchen. The little boy looks up at his mother with a smile and says, "You Going to tell him, or should I?"
