October 21, 200718 yr hi guys i have started putting a few clips from yesterdays trail on you tube there under THE SCOTT, in autos. there is quite a few but the quality is not the best!! they were taken on my stills camera. i have tried to get as many riders as possible, at washfold. sorry if you not on any but its hard getting every rider !! i have also got some from bypass which i will upload soon fantastic day out as ever !!!!
October 21, 200718 yr Erm, I typed "THE SCOTT" into the YouTube search box and ended up with "Butthole Surfers Interview 1984"
October 21, 200718 yr Heres some youtube Scott Postings. Gobbysarah account - click here 65 videos at last look
October 21, 200718 yr Erm, I typed "THE SCOTT" into the YouTube search box and ended up with "Butthole Surfers Interview 1984" Coincidentally I put in "Butthole Surfers" and ended up with some decent Scott vids. What's the chances of that eh?
October 21, 200718 yr Author sorry kinell if there not up to your usual standard!!!!????? but have you ever tried uploading 60odd clips on you tube ? its a bloody pain in the backside!!!! and i even managed to spell TRIALS wrong i must be a right plank anyway there will be some more going on tomorrow from bypass so keep yours eyes open
October 22, 200718 yr Some good footage of Bye-Pass 3 there wetfeet, not sure Andrew will thank you though for showing his attempt! Edited October 22, 200718 yr by John.B
October 22, 200718 yr I have a question! Of course Dougie is going to score low on observation, but why was he so fast compared to some of the other riders who are what some people call 'specialists' ?
October 22, 200718 yr This year Dougie did the 85 mile course at an average of 17.4 miles an hour, as usual less than 20 riders finished within an hour of fastest time, one hour slower roughly means 3 miles an hour slower, To finish in time a rider needed to do 11.5 miles an hour. I think the answer to your question is skill & bike fitness.
October 22, 200718 yr I was at section 38 and at that stage he was 2nd arrival, meaning he had roughly half the course with no one to pass, or get held up by either in sections or on one track moors. This section was probably possible for me to ride, but by the time ten had passed it was very difficult indeed, Dibs got stuck for ten seconds I think and these type of delays add time and effort to those following. Knowing the course helps as well.
October 22, 200718 yr Knowing the course helps as well. Firstly, thank you both for your replies But doesn't the comment above dabster support my thinking . The 'specialists' should know the course better than anyone so should therefore have an advantage shouldn't they? Watching the vids on you tube, some riders were causing big delays for riders behind them so would this then mean that if you have an early number , and you are a good rider, you have an advantage? If Dougie then went out last, he would have been far down the list on time wouldn't he? Either way, pretty damn impressive I reckon!
October 22, 200718 yr A big thank you must go to the organisers and helpers at Richmond Motor Club,who should feel hugely proud of running a first class outstanding event. I'm already looking forward to next year. I don't think its much of a secret that Fujigas has expressed an interest in riding it next year. But Dougie will take some beating as his performance was breath taking. Mind you its not just about the top riders, its about all the riders from Clubman to experts and those willing to have a go that make this trial such a great event. Well done to you all.
October 22, 200718 yr But Dougie will take some beating as his performance was breath taking. I was just talking to Ross who was following Dougie for a short while. It got to the point where Dougie was riding more like a Speedway rider than a trials rider across the route they were on. Pretty hairy stuff apparently
October 22, 200718 yr --> QUOTE(John.B @ Oct 22 2007, 06:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Are you talking yourself in to having a go next year then Cota? John, I had a great day following the trial on my bike. Its a great event but one I know isn't for me. I was talking to Dougie and he reckoned that he was riding as fast as you can possibly go on a trials bike, I think he had a few scary moments. It will be great if Fujigas does get to ride next year but I still think Doug will take some beating.
