March 13, 201016 yr Im brand new to the sport of Trials, and Im wondering what the rules are? Ive tried googling it but couldnt find the very basic of rules!
March 13, 201016 yr very basic of rules! Right basic and simple 0 = clean ride of the section no footing 1 = 1 foot on the ground 2 = foot twice on the ground 3 = foot 3 or more times (you can go up like a centipede if you want) 5 = failure to complete the section Complicated (opens up a whole new set of rules, dependant on where you are riding) and the list is as follows, with different scores for each Stopping, stopping while foot down, hopping backwards, sideways or for ten minutes! time limits, bending flags, breaking flags, leaning on trees, rocks, banks and many many more Stick to the basic and you won't go far wrong ............of course you a reliant on the observer too who may not know what rules you are meant to be riding under
March 13, 201016 yr Author Cool, thanks very much, I take it the flags are Blue left and red right? Is it possible to put your foot down 10-15 times, or is 5 the worst you can get?? ie, if I went round like a centipede, would I be scored a 5 or however many times I put my foot down.
March 13, 201016 yr no its even simpler than that.. you can put your foot down as many times as you like as long as you keep moving then you wont get more than 3 if your front wheel stops moving forward you get the 5
March 13, 201016 yr Author Even better, though, I dont think 3 is a score to be sniffed at, Id be well happy with that!!
March 13, 201016 yr Flags or markers could be almost any colour. It all depends on where you ride and what route/class you have entered or wish to follow
March 14, 201016 yr I may do better now i know the rules.. Cheers for that I don't think anything can help you fella....
March 15, 201016 yr Rule #1 Do not, repeat- DO NOT convert a TY mono to a twin shock!!!! That rule only applies in Gods own country
March 15, 201016 yr Have a look at this. Its used in our club but as others say rules do change depending on where your riding. This though is pretty good for the basics as used in Scotland. A_guide_to_riding_and_marking_trials_1_.pdf

Very good bigfoot would you mind if i copied that to my Clubs website and had copies at the start of the Trial ?
March 15, 201016 yr No, feel free and that goes for anyone else too. Edited March 15, 201016 yr by bigfoot
March 15, 201016 yr Already did a few years ago (I got permission though LOL) I've altered it slightly to accommodate the new route marking colours. Dave.
