January 24, 201214 yr Author Watching your vids I think you will be fine. Crack on and enjoy mate. thanks, well i figured that the only way to know how good or bad i am was to actually enter local trials. does anyone on here enter cornish trials??

January 26, 201214 yr It all changes when you put it between the markers! Walk the sections well, learn them and find your line! Concentrate on your line and adjust as neccessary! The GOOD line is about three inches wide in many cases.
