Glad to see Bigfoot is going back for another go.

There must be some mistake. I don't see B. Curran on there.

There's nobody more anal than Big John when it comes to the Scottish!

That's a VERY good point Bob! I've seen photos taken from the seating at Sheffield and in most cases you have to use digital zoom and the quality due to shake is very poor. I'll be at Sheffield as normal, but on the Arena floor - up close. My photos will be on trialsphotos.com the next day and a mere fiver gets you a month's access to seriously high res photos to take as much as you want.

I won't be going either if it's a Friday.

Happy Birthday old-timer

Only Japan and USA will be two day events. The rest are all one day. Some of the one-dayers have something organised for the Saturday - Women's rounds, UEM Youth etc.

It's been raised hundreds of times before and never yet been settled! Topic closed.

I'll be there to <cough> work. Mind you it is pretty thirsty kind of work and it would be a shame not to partake of some good ole Southern hospitality Al - just keep Kinell off the clear stuff - he was bad enough on the apple juice

Just an idea for that truck of yours at the WR at TTC next year

Being a Trials Central Celebrity is not always a good thing

I've seen what that bike has been through - you don't want it mate - honest!

I've studied this closely... Up To December '05 R2W - Gas Gas through and through (suspected attraction to A. Raga) Steve Saunders - Gas Gas through and through. December '05 Steve Saunders - announces move to Beta. R2W - announces move to Beta Gay Weddings are allowed in the UK 22nd December - Elton John & David Furnish celebrate gay wedding. 27th December - R2W announces engagement. No mention of other party. ;)

Blimey. In shock.

Not a criticism Marky - just letting you know - since I upgraded the forums you can attach multiple images in the same post. You don't have to do one image per reply any more. :hat:

I contacted Peter via his website in June to point him in the direction of a topic on these forums regarding Kickstart that I thought he might be interested in (I hoped I could persuade him to participate to be honest!) I was amazed to get a reply direct from him saying he'd update his website to point to the thread. I didn't expect him to and never followed it up. I've just checked and he really did. Check out the and an interesting discussion thread link. I want a Blue Peter badge for that! BTW, producing a DVD/Video has been looked into and the BBC have the rights to Kickstart and will not release them.

Dunno about that. Anybody else thinking of responding, do it offline please!

The original? You can't, unfortunately - at least not officially.

Blimey - you're keen! According to the Trials Central archives, for 2005 they were available early April.

Octagon again. No comment other than useless

This adds nothing whatsoever to the topic or the question raised by the original poster. If you can't add anything constructive then say nothing.

Big spate of interest from others since you posted and I responded. Obviously folk didn't know this kind of thing was allowed. It adds good content to the site and gives the lads a bit of publicity. I'm all for it.

Is it? Ever thought about the cost of putting something like that on? Yes, it is expensive compared to standing for free on a moor in the freezing cold, but there you don't have venue hire, logistics, the cost of the sections, the same levels of insurance etc etc. If it was "stupidly expensive" then Sheffield wouldn't be a sell-out year after year - which it is. Personally, I don't see it as "real" Trials but then my introduction to the sport was the SSDT so I'm kinda biased, but it does bring Trials to the masses and can only be good for the sport.

Application received and processed. It also prompted applications from two other riders so thanks!
