Hi my son currently rides an Oset16 in Jersey, C.I.

I have been trying to find a fair way to score our riders here who are at vastly different ability levels.

As there aren't enough of them to split them up into different classes/routes I'm just wondering if any of you ahve similar experiences and a have any ideas.

Sometimes the results are scewed towards those who aren't neccassarily riding the best but who are not falling off but actually foot the whole section! getting only a 3.

I believe this isn't helping them either to progress their skills?

I know its supposed to be about fun at this young age 5-7 yrs but surely after riding at least one season they should be looking to get a little competitive? No?

We might venture to the uk next year to see how he is performing relative to the mainland kids to get a broad comparison.

Cheers

Stew

Generally over here they do split them into the Wheel/power sizes. They also run a set of rules that usually allow for Mums/Dads to "assist" but for a three. Generally I would ring OSET and speak to Dave Horne who should be able to give you pointers as he has been Organising OSET Trials since very nearly the start and will be able to help.
