October 2, 201411 yr I remember that well. It was the first time I observed at the Scottish but I struck lucky that day as I drove the back marker's car up for him and so avoided the worst effects of the snow.
October 2, 201411 yr Cheers many thanks for the link really enjoyed took me back to when I could ride and not suffer afterwards!!!!!!
October 2, 201411 yr A few shots of a youthful looking JR Sunt's dad if I am not mistaken. Brilliant stuff at the home of Agostini, Why can't we have some decent mud at WTC these days? What a pity Yamaha quit the sport. Edited October 2, 201411 yr by dadof2

October 3, 201411 yr Do you think you would get away with that section about the 34 min mark at a modern t/s trial? Edited October 3, 201411 yr by breagh
October 3, 201411 yr Amazing piece of trials history that...loved seeing what those riders and bikes could do back then on some equally tough sections of today ............the proper waxed trials suits, scant headwear and heavy boots just look much better than the flouro-skin suits nowadays.
October 3, 201411 yr Perhaps that's why Bou won't ride the SSDT, get his nuts frozen in that skin tight lycra.
October 4, 201411 yr Do you think you would get away with that section about the 34 min mark at a modern t/s trial? Interesting to try with modern tyres and suspension.
October 4, 201411 yr First saw this in the E&D club rooms as a preview I was an official that year so knew most of those on the film They have edited out a big step at the beginning where you see Mick showing lifting the front wheel He went up one that was even bigger Honda also made a film the following year Edited October 4, 201411 yr by naichuff
October 4, 201411 yr Interesting to try with modern tyres and suspension. Ross the bikes have got better but the riders are a lot older. I can picture a nice chap on an SWM somersaulting from the peak of that rock as the modern tyres got him a lot higher than he really wanted! Followed by similar on a Bultaco.
