    4rt To Win?

    You don't think I buy it, do you?! One week a year, and that's in Fort William.
  4. Endo actually makes a bloody good point here. We all complain about lack of coverage and then when the coverage does appear what do we do? We complain about the quality of the coverage!

    4rt To Win?

    Dougie won't be riding, you can put money on it. As long as he's riding World Championships he won't ride the Scottish. What if he got injured? He'll most likely be there for a couple of days as usual, but purely as a spectator. He may, however, extend his visit this year as I heard he and Jake were particularly taken with the rooms in Cell Block H at the Milton
  6. Results out... Click me
  7. It was one guy from Octagon with a hand-held camera.
  8. Don't Tell My Heart, My Achy-Break.....Oops, almost fived that one....y Heart
  9. This will be remembered when you come off Fersit with frozen bollocks looking for cozy gloves and a nice dry jacket..... Alternately I may just ban you
  10. Nope, I totally avoided getting almost hit this year. I learned my lesson after almost getting squished in front of 8000 people last year!
  11. Before this goes any further I should add that your beloved Webmaster (i.e. Me!) is left-handed. That's the same left-hand that operates the "Ban" button
  12. What's he planning on doing? Linedancing up the sections?
  13. Is that CET or GMT? Be careful because even if they do show it, they often get the times wrong.
  14. I've been asked by Caroline to pass this on: I have been made aware of a thread on Trials Central which details a Halt in production of the MONTESA Cota 4RT. This is NOTHING to worry about. 1 bike at HRC is affected - it involves the way the bike is started (and if the ECU is not allowed to set itself before the throttle is opened). Something which all my Dealers have the correct information with regard to same. The ECU sensor tests atmospheric pressure and if the Throttle is opened too soon is therefore not set correctly. HRC have very HIGH levels of Quality control and in instances of minor run errors will HALT production as a matter of course. This we have to accept, this is their way as their aim is to produce an excellent and without comparison Trials motorcycle. The matter is expected (and I am assured) to be resolved today - There is NOTHING to worry about. Caroline Sandiford Braybrook Director James Sandiford (Motorcycles) Ltd.

  15. Please note Trials Central have had nothing official on this yet. It is only hearsay from forum members and should not be considered either official or valid until such time as an official statement is released.
  16. For vinyl cut I think Andy Rothers may be able to help you. He posts on here so may reply directly, but if not then http://www.graffics.co.uk/
  17. I'll take that as a bite
  18. One thing I was NOT impressed with was Octagon. Firstly they sent out false information - i.e. Shaun Morris was riding. That was sent out only 2 days before the event. Having no information to the contrary, I ran the story thinking they were the official press body for the Indoor Championship as usual. Publishing wrong info makes me look stupid and I don't like that. Having realised they're no good some time ago, I've now arranged to get all my info from Crosser for the future. Secondly, their press releases make Wonder Boy's posts look intelligible (every one has to be re-written from scratch in decent English). And finally, the guy who wanders round the course saying "line, line" to the press with no official badge, no official press line marked so you don't know where you can or cannot stand and who gets in the way himself whilst serving no real purpose is a real pain in the a**e. PS. The upside is the NVidia promotion team and Taddy's website have both contacted me for permission to use my photos - which I've granted for no charge
  19. I think it's great you're even asking what folk think - nobody else has done that. It is, obviously, a long way for them to come so you want/need to make it as spot on as possible - and from the feedback here you seem to have done so. It's SSDT territory so will have an affection in the hearts of many, but beyond that I think the organisation has been great and offered just a bit more. The Ice Factor is great and apart from offering them a good revenue boost is a great facility for folk to mingle, get food/drink and for the riders to shower & clean up etc. It also appeared more professional to have a fixed base rather than a trailer in a car park. My only criticism (and it's not even that really) would be that the Ice Factor couldn't cope - which was understandable given the demand - and everywhere else to get food seemed to be closed. The place across the road missed a mint that day. Build it and they will come. This website is proof of that. PS. Carly - Take t'high heels off lass - t'will be easier
  20. To get things back on track, I was stunned to see the NVidia logo all over the place. If you're not into computers then you may not know them, but they are a $3.5 Billion company who are huge in the graphics card industry. No, not as big as tobacco, but a great name to have associated with the event, particularly for younger folk who are into their PCs and having the best bits etc.
  21. I think if you guys feed back what you want to see then it will be taken on board - if it's proved to be the general feeling. I talked to the organisers at the event and they are *so* passionate about it. They love it, the spectators love it and if there's geniune feedback about how it could be improved then I'm sure it would be adopted.
  22. Was there for 03 and 04 and both were great although 03 was better from a photographers point of view. A lot of the 04 sections were just too dark. I know it doesn 't come down to the views of the press, but you did ask!
