February 22, 200620 yr PA!!! Thats somebodys daughter, and more importantly there observers!!!!. Don't you guys in the colder climates get observers like that????? See what you guys are missing out on if you don't come over here in October for the nationals.
February 22, 200620 yr haha I was just about to say: "Is this when we find out that's one of the Trials Central member's daughter(s)?" hahahaha Those were good pictures of the sections though, too! Edited February 22, 200620 yr by Jackman
February 23, 200620 yr PA!!!Thats somebodys daughter, and more importantly there observers!!!!. All women are somebody's daughter. Don't you guys in the colder climates get observers like that????? Not often enough. See what you guys are missing out on if you don't come over here in October for the nationals. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Will try too.
March 20, 200620 yr Has anyone got any more pictures of man made trials practice sections they can post? I have found a willing farmer who wants to build a trials practice area on his farm and we need inspiration. He can get tyres, logs, railway sleepers and rocks. Any photos would be most welcome and save us a great deal of time working out how to lay out the obstacles. Cheers
March 22, 200620 yr have a look at most of our sections - we've man made most of them as there is very little natuaral stuff at Canada Heights! just check out the numerous photos on our website here are a few examples :- shows a sand section carved out by a machine (360 or JCB) shows a trench dug by a JCB with some concrete sleeper type things in them (we perodically rearrange the conrete) wall style jump made of fence posts and earth tree trunks and holes in a bank dug by machine
March 22, 200620 yr tree trunk lots of concrete (to make a "rock" section), the huge barrel thing was a long ago enginering atempt to flatten a field (to make a car park) - several thousand cars (big mx meetigns) and regular grass cutting did it in the end here is a bank we built for mx spectaros, we put lumps of concrete and tree trunks into it for trials
March 22, 200620 yr not how the lumps of concrete lay, especaily the lunch ramp on the far right note how the logs are in the gorund, its above the pit you saw earlier from a diffrent angle
March 22, 200620 yr more logs built into an artifical bank here a big ampipherete has been cut into the sand bank and logs have been held in aroudn to create steps hope all this gives you some idea, the ones i've shown show section for modern solos, i would have shown diffrent ones if you were after older bikes or sidecars photo credits - Cliff Barnett (Trials Info.com), Jeremey Roberts, Colin Parkin, Steve Potten and Jamie Clarke
March 22, 200620 yr Ah your playground makes me do a little sex wee Rabie!! Edited March 22, 200620 yr by Andy_290
March 22, 200620 yr Thanks for those Rabie, it's suprising how hard it is to set out artificial practice sections when you try to do it. The farmer is dead keen, he has a nice bit of unused rough ground which isn't doing anything and welcomes the chance to make it work for him. When it's set up I'll post some pictures of what we have done.
March 23, 200620 yr We have a vineyard to play around on and have a bank along the back with allsorts on it. We are hoping to get some concrete tubes and tyres etc. Ill take some pics tomorrow and post them!!
March 23, 200620 yr Ah your playground makes me do a little sex wee Rabie!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> - OK I'm afriad now we as a club never used to run many trials from Canada Heights as it wasn't great trials land, but with the demise of road trials plus our acquisition of the land has meant we've done quiet a bit of work. personally I'm not a good enough trails rider to enjoy the benefits of some of these sections (most of the stuff I've shown you is for inters and experts)
March 26, 200620 yr my next door neighbour has told me to join a club in kent so that way i can ride south eastern centre events, canada heights here i come!
