big john Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I make that a five for everyone of them! Phew! Big John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 John, I was there for over an hour and you're right not one person got very far in to section 2 before fiveing. This was one of those sections where relaxed marking was rightly the order of the day. Jordi got a 3 for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizza5 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Why was the section so short? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If observers applied the "no-stop" rule correctly, fairly and across the board - you wouldn't need sections with this severity!

Big John 100% true, the Trial could be very different but then the good lads would start moaning that it was far too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thespikeyone Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I must admit, when I got there and watched some really good riders pushing, not just dabbing, pushing there way up the section I knew it was waaaaaaaaay beyond me and asked for fives. I think if it was two single sections I may have been enticed to rotovate through it for a three with a half hour break in between!! would liked to have seen doug and dibs ride it tho.

breagh Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Sat there all day. To be honest the section was a chore to watch 5 after 5 and the very rare 3. I would have moved but I was with the boss and 2 collie dug's so stayed put. The Beta man's ride was inspired,turned it almost 180 on the hardest bit, sublime. The legend's ride was more clinical,looked in control,just doing the business. Pity one had to lose, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
