March 6, 200620 yr We ran our trial yesterday at Nantmawr catering for 100 riders over 5 routes looking after complete beginners to Alexz & Ross at Youth World level. Yes we are mad but we enjoyed organising it and watching the top boys master our FIM 'Green' route was un believable. Constructive feedback would help us for future events. We have broad shoulders and can take critism (well a little)so long as constructive. Give us your positive thoughts as well on what you liked so we make sure we keep in / improve on these aspects.
March 6, 200620 yr Elwyn, Please make the venue's car park less muddy so when I fall off like a pleb I dont end up looking like this (picture courtesy of bikespace)
March 6, 200620 yr Author You said it Atom. Of all the places in all the world to fall off - and you wern't even riding the event !
March 6, 200620 yr Off topic I know, but what happened to Steetley Quarry down the road? Oswestry used to run trials there for years, what a venue that was, it was capable of holding World round sections although I've not ridden at Nantmawr...yet. Anyway good to see Breidden Hills going from strength to strength as a club and putting on a great trial by the sound of it and attracting over 100 riders on the same day as the Colmore.

March 6, 200620 yr highlight of the day was watching bikespace do the drop off on my dads section (11) .... surprized the mountain didnt collapse and bury everyone on the three sections below! only messin' he actually went off there quite smoothly AND had the third best score on that section on our route. fair do's bs!

March 6, 200620 yr Photos and video (including one of the legend that is Bikespace!) online now. Clicky here Only comment I'd make and, as a non-rider, it's purely based on my observations at other Trials is that the sections were a tad on the long side. This was also commented on by a couple of riders. However, if the majority were happy then sod it!

The problem was when you have so much good quality terrain to use you just want to put it in and give the riders value for money
