SM_998 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Im fairly new to trials, started in December. On one of my early events, I got penalised with a 5 for rolling backwards on a section. Not very far, maybe 10 or 12 inches. So im rather confused when I watch all the hopping about to see really good riders jumping backwards and even rolling backwards. This morning there was a clip of a rider bouncing his bike around and rolling back into a prime spot pointed out by his minder. Are there different sets of rules for club trials and national events? Im not moaning at all, just confused Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted 26 minutes ago Share Posted 26 minutes ago We went over a decade without being able to roll back. The rules were all over the place. Some places the good riders could hop sideways and then reposition themselves. Quite silly as it was the same spot if you would have just rolled back. The world rounds did away with the no stop about 3 years ago. Most places have gone back to the roll back is legal, but if you dab going backwards it is a 5. Finally there is a push for all trials to get the same rules. Very hard for an outsider to understand our sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
