Description Of Trials

Recommended Posts

Am completing some university work about trials and need a credible source to reference. I thought the acu site had an explanation of what trials is but I can't seem to find anything (maybe since they altered the website). FIM site doesn't seem to have anything either.

Does anyone have any ideas? (books or sites other than wikipedia)

There is the ACU Handbook which has the 'standing regulations' for Trials - no pun intended I expect.

Otherwise any of the books on Trials which have been listed on TC in past discussions.

More recently the books have morphed into Videos and DVDs.

Older books include:-

Motor Cycle Trials Riding Max King 1955 and 1972

Observed Trials Bernie Shreiber

Trials - A Rider's Guide Don Morley

Motor Cycle Trials Techniques and Training Lane Leavitt and Len Weed

Ride It! The Complete Book of Motor Cycle Trials Don Smith

I recall that when I started (early 1970s) the ACU handbook defined trials as a "competiton in which competitors endeavour to fulfil prescribed conditions". I guess that really clarified it for anyone who needed to know.

Brilliant thanks, managed to find a copy of the ACU handbook so that should be good enough.

I agree anyway I've no idea what WOFTAM is so good luck with your uni work. :thumbup:

Waste of "flipping" time & money! Thanks, not the most interesting piece of psychology work but covering trials has made it more interesting.
