Which is no mean feat on a penny farthing

Fact. They tried out a stop detector fitted to the front wheel with a view to making no-stop compulsory. Dougie was the tester and rode the obstacles in the test on the back wheel. Detector whinged like hell, but he didn't stop forward motion. I'm supposed to remain neutral, but having had a good insight into the World Championship this year, I think it works great as it is. The time is so tight in the sections it makes it almost no-stop. I see no reason to change it. What was debated in the pub on Saturday night - and what I totally agree with, is that if our riders are going to develop then they have to be playing by a standard set of rules and those are the FIM rules. To expect them to rise through the grades under one set of rules then make the next step under another is totally unfair on them.

Just a shame he can't do it on the first lap

Where does the "Kinill-Paddle" fit in then?

Japan only as far as I'm aware.

Yeah, but you're a Raga fan

John, Email it to me - andy AT trialscentral.com - worthy of front page news and I'll post a link here for those who don't check the front page too often. Cheers Andy

You lot should have been in the pub in Belgium on Saturday night - there was a good going debate on this very subject!

Eddy's sat next to me right now and he's now importing Beta and helping his son with the bike stuff. He also runs trials schools here. Website at www.domed.be

Send a PM to "RedVanMan".

He wasn't banned. Left of his own accord.

There is usually a programme with details on how to get to the sections and they're generally well signposted too. I don't think you'll have a problem finding your way around.

Is the Dabster gonna give it a go?

We used to have a guy who posted on forums called Timpea. Was the brother of Chris if I recall correctly

Squeal piggy squeal!

I heard that Geordie Boy quite fancied the runner-up spot himself...

Personally, I thought it very public-spirited of him to support the Washington Legal Foundation

Both are using photos that are my copyright. Should I sue?

Gents, Your regs are now on the front page I even headlined it!

Complete rip-off compared to previous years.

I would suggest, if possible, you give your business to B&B. They're a sponsor of this site which keeps it free for you lot!

Got the last room at the Macdonald.

Cota Kid was in Germany and gave me a tenner last night to be donated to the charity of your choice. Name it and it will be done.

I only found out at the weekend that Freixa got married last month too. After his performance at the weekend married life must be doing him some good!
