Ians Rocks
I'll add a new section to the Website. Ians' Rocks is just off the A59 Harrogate to Skipton road. The turn Off is opposite the Fewston Reservoir Car park. It's Signposted Greenhow, Blubberhouses, and Pateley Bridge. The Road is called Hardisty Hill. Ians' Rocks is on the right and it will be flagged from the road. Ians Rocks

Are Ohlins Rear Shocks Worth The Cost?
NYL's has had one fitted to his Gas Gas 125's since 2006. Having used the Sachs while the Ohlins was being rebuilt his conclusion is that the Ohlins is more progressive and gives better feedback than the Sachs. The Sachs feels "clunky" compared to the Ohlins.

Trials Training, North Yorkshire
Look out for Graham Jarvis Training Days. He runs them all over the country but Tong near Leeds and Bradford is regularly used.

New Rider. No Bike. 14 Years Old.
You are only allowed a 125 at your age but that isn't much of a problem. I would not discount the Beta REV3 125. It is a very stable bike which makes it very easy to start on, and it can do tricks as your riding improves. My own son prefers the Gas Gas as it is a Trick riders dream but that lightness also makes it easy to handle. It does rev to heaven and back again. The Sherco treads a middle course. If you are going out to Trials see if you can cadge a ride on all of them to see which suits you best.

Youth Minders
Basically the reason it was stopped was due to numbers. A couple of years ago there were close to a hundred riders at Youth Nationals. Add in another hundred minders and it gets too crowded. The numbers now are still respectable with about 50 to 60 starting at the next A & B national so it might be possible to allow them but then you have the problem if numbers rise again. It's why the British Nationals limit the number of riders.

Practice Round Leeds Area
Close to Leeds the easiest to use is BUMPY in Birstall. If He joins the Horsforth Club then they have a practice area as well which is suitable for beginners. Tong is also usually available a couple of days a month but you have to phone and check or watch out on Horsforth's website as they also publish dates. BUMPY Horsforth Tong - Parkwood Off Road.

Gordon Thackary
Very Sad news. A great character and ever present as an observer. I think a couple of generations of riders in Yorkshire will have "grown up" with him marking sections. Always rode to his section on his Honda or the little Kawasaki and never complained. I always remember him riding off after a trial with riders acknowledging him as he passed. Sadly that's all gone. He was on the way to the Ripon Trial that Sunday to observe with (I believe) his Grandson who was taken to Hospital. Rest In Peace Gordon.

Youth C&d Class National Rd1 2009
Parents/minders are allowed in the section. We were there the day after for the A and B class national and were only needed at a few sections thankfully as the two part course does mean a long hike between the end of one set of sections and the start of the second set. Where were the C/D sections???

A & B /c & D Results
Otter Vale have no web site. The only way you can get them is when you recieve them in the post. I should get the A & B results and will scan them in and post them.

Two Nationals One Venue?
Why use the same venue?? EMRA do not need to use Bracken Rocks and previously have successfully used other venues. Bracken is a good venue but for a national Trials series once a year is enough. And Dabster I know exactly what you mean. Two sets of sections split by a walk of a mile or so is not fair on the minders. Otter vale do a Good trial but if the riders want to wait for their Minder the best you can do is take about 15 minutes to get between 1 and 8 and 13 and 1. Clubs have to remember that because the minder CANNOT have a bike the distance between sections has to be considered.

Two Nationals One Venue?
Not many delve into the Murk that is Youth Trials And given that the feedback is that a fair number of clubs tried getting a date and were unsuccessful why visit the same venue twice??
-
Two Nationals One Venue?
Just thought I'd bring this up here as I have never seen this happen before. The Second round of the A & B Nationals was held at Bracken Rocks under the Mansfield Maun club a couple of weeks ago. It seems that EMRA are intending to use Bracken for the fourth round in May. I haven't seen this before and wondered why it was happening??
