nigel dabster Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I think we'll have to wait until the section plotters have done their bit first before we cast judgement on its success. What would be interesting would be to get rid of the support class routes and make every one ride the champ route. So one route only, how would dibs loose marks yet the bottom lads from the 3rd route not get maximums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky dicky Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Maybe someone can invent a device that beeps when the front wheel stops moving. A speedo sensor could be adapated. That way the rider knows he's stopped, as do the crowd and crucially the observer does too. The importers could supply at cost price to help promote no stop if this is their worry? What about when the front wheel is in the air and when it's locked solid going down a muddy rut?! Doesn't work unfortunately! Good, fair observing is the only way.

jimmyl Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Not sure a device on front wheel would work as you could be riding with the front wheel in the air with the front brake applied and be given a five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasntme Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 On both wheels instead! No big jumps allowed and no locking the brakes either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj65 Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 On both wheels instead! No big jumps allowed and no locking the brakes either. I believe it was tried before and didn't work as per the fore mentioned reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 i just cant see where the extra entries will come from, moreover will a few lads prefer spain or italy if they are stop allowed? thats a very good call depending on what the wtc does I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asc Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 if they want bigger numbers ,ease the b route a bit more and put in a over 40's class or 'masters class' ,some good rider's still and may be the biggest class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tricky dicky Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Just a thought but if the world champs went no stop wouldn't that suit our top lads better than the foreigners? After all we do run the two biggest no stop trials in the world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is possibly the intention without adding another class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie_lejeune Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 there was a past masters class before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good question indeed ! If an English rider wishes to be competitive in the WTC they will only be handicapped by competing in his,or her, own National events!

old trials fanatic Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 A very good question indeed ! If an English rider wishes to be competitive in the WTC he will only be handicapped by competing in his,or her, own National events! Was talking about this thread with a friend of mine who used to be pretty handy on a trials bike and he pointed out that when he started to compete in the European Championships, they didnt have a WTC back then, he upped sticks and went to live in Spain to hone his already impressive skills. That was back in the late 60's. So whats changed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I believe the importers have had advocated a move like this for a while. You would assume they would not do anything that would alienate them from the manufacture they represent!!. Therefore do we assume that the factories want this any maybe the brave desicion by the Brits and the ACU may be the catalyst for change for the rest and WTC.
