July 6, 200521 yr Well London have done it and won the Olympics. How about lobbying the London committee for a trial to be added to the competitions. If I understand the Olympics the organisering country can apply to have new sports added. With the UK being the home of trials and having a multiple world champion in it midst surely it would be concidered. This post ties in with the various other post looking for recognision of Mr Lampin at things like the BBC sport personality. If a UK rider were to win an Olympic medal (Doug may to out of the running by 2012) surely the sport would get the recognision it deserves. Does anyone have any contacts on the London bid committee?
July 6, 200521 yr My understanding is that the World Games, which will be held this year in Germany at which Trials will be represented and as reported previously is for sports that are not currently included in the Olympics, but are potentials for being included. The problem with any form of motorsport is that the general perception is it involves sitting on a saddle or a seat and running round an asphalt circuit. The World Games (which are overseen by the Olympic Committee) may change that perception. On another note, got an email from a mate today saying simply "Up Yours Chirac"
July 6, 200521 yr Is that old woman realy half price, what a bargin i'll have two then. By 2012 Haslam, Wigg, Sampson, Damby, etc, etc, Will be totaly dominating the world trials scene, and the south of England will the the trials centre of the world
July 6, 200521 yr Motorcycle trials may well be included by 2012, things have been muted already for 2012.
July 6, 200521 yr ..I know we should all be rejoicing together at a time like this rather than revisiting the North/South trials divide,but when I last looked, Samson, Brown and Dabill were all northerners....
July 6, 200521 yr Yes but by 2012 there time will be over, and all the good riders will come from the South, like Spain is now, Kent,Surrey, and hampshire will be then
July 7, 200521 yr Yes but by 2012 there time will be over, and all the good riders will come from the South, like Spain is now, Kent,Surrey, and hampshire will be then .......
July 7, 200521 yr what about the up and coming riders for example youth b riders in particular as they will be 24/25 at that time and hopefully will have a very good chance of winning the olympics if trials is ever in there
