1982 on 105 marks lost, beating Toni Gorgot on a Mont by 18 marks. Knew I had that book somewhere

Blimey. These bring back a few memories Clicky

Moved to UK Trials talk.

I didn't mean the glory days were over, just trying to prompt a few more to get their entires in.

"Jared" my ass. That's Bikespace!

My understanding is that entries are down compared to this stage in previous years.

Believe it or not, I only have one vote on Polls myself and cannot manipulate them (well I probably could by hacking about with the database, but that's way more effort than it's worth) You can Poll all you want - what happens on the road stays on the road. TC rule

Topic moved from "Introduce Yourself" Forum I swear you lot do it just to annoy me...

And Cota Kid And Bikespace

I think you shouldn't have started a topic then immediately started exactly the same topic with a poll attached.

Now if only I could publish those photos I have of a stripped-down 4-RT factory bike gearbox (Fuji's) that I took in Japan... (Nobody's actually said I can't, but as I know it would cause a lot of hassle if I did they will remain offline and part of my private collection - along with most of the photos of the Japanese dancing girls )

Cruel, but funny

It is not down to Gary, John or anybody else at Beta UK to make "announcements". It is down to the factory. End of.

Moved to UK Trials Talk.

By all accounts it has been a bit of a Press disaster. I did contact John Lampkin to try and get pre-release pics under embargo as I've done with other manufacturers, but it wasn't happening. Not through his fault, but Beta as a company don't get the whole Press thing.

Note: Laia's SSDT bike. Not Laia's factory bike.

Dougie rode Laia's SSDT bike in the Scott. There was much ribbing about "riding a girl's bike"

As far as I am aware, there has been nothing official from Beta re pricing yet. In fact there's been nothing official from Beta period! As an aside, apart from the massive number of views on the front page article that are still rocketing up, the Beta forum on Trials Central has been the most viewed of ALL the forums this month - including the General ones. That's never happened before that a bike forum on here has beaten any of the "General" ones.

Browser and version?

To clarify, it is absolutely fine for someone to say "You can get them from Company X" providing that person does not represent and has no business interest in "Company X". i.e. they don't stand to gain personally.

MORE PHOTOS

It kinda bugs me that I have to go asking a forum member if I can use their photos on the front page to provide Beta with FREE promotion. (Asking the user doesn't bug me and thanks to SC1980 for the permission to do so), but the fact that the press release with nice studio pics and close-ups wasn't sent out as soon as the bike was unveiled is really bad marketing IMO. The announcement caused a lot of interest and with no follow-up on unveiling day to make the most of the hype is poor, but you can't tell those Italians anything!
