October 12, 201213 yr Well i thought i would but this on for everyone to watch, its the BBC 30 min program from 1974, my dad has had the VHS tape for as long as i can remember, and couple of years ago we had it put on to DVD (thanks Mr Percival) so we had a copy to keep for as long as we wanted, as the tape had been watched so many times it was starting to stretch i was at the trial with my dad and remember my mate observing the second from last trial with his dad and they had taken a Greeves Scottish with them to get to the section, and the BBC film crew asked them to ride the bike round in a circle while the sound guys taped the noise of the bike, so the bike sound you hear from the helicopter is actually my mates Greeves Scottish there is only a week to go until the 2012 trial and and this might get the juices flowing ready for next week please enjoy
October 13, 201213 yr VERY VERY good !! just shows the bikes change over the years but they still need skill and stamina to be ridden up and over the moors and sections.
October 13, 201213 yr Its a brilliant bit of footage. Thanks for uploading it. What ever happened to the winner. He rode for Honda later and then?
