To say the promoters should not profit is like saying Bernie Ecclestone shouldn't profit from F1 or Frank Warren shouldn't profit from boxing. Ridiculous.
I personally hope Jake & Martin make enough out of this to justify doing it again. And again. And again. Both are perfectionists and very good at what they do, but over and above that they are passionate about the sport and that shows. You may have noticed that Trials Central is listed on the site as an event partner. We're proud to be there and will be doing whatever we can to promote the event and encourage as large a turnout as possible.
I thought from Nigel's apparently successful forays into twin-shock national championship events, that he was an accomplished and talented rider, with many years of experience competing in national level events?
I knew there had to be more to him than just being a grumpy old bugger
This is the kind of thing I'm looking for in this forum! I'll change it to "previews and reviews". My initial post probably indicated my reservations about setting up a forum like this, but if it can be used as a "I'm riding x next week, I rode it last year and it's pretty good/easy/okay/hard" type forum then I'm cool with it.
Check out www.xboost.co.uk they have private land to ride, bikes to rent, the lot. Take your kit and licence ad you should be good to go. They are 13 miles outside Edinburgh
XBoost disappointed me. I contacted them re going out and doing a free feature on them and the services on offer. Never even bothered to reply.
Perhaps we could have a forum to discuss which are the best venues in different areas of the country, which trials are worth travelling for, which are the good road trials (we have some good 2 laps of 18-20 section trials eg; Stocksbridge trial, Hipwell trial etc) that are better than many of the nationals.
Which trials are not worth bothering with.
Some organisers put on events which really suit beginners but you don't till you get there.
I can easily set this up if there's demand. It's up to you lot!
If they are from the forums then you should seek permission from whoever posted them (assuming they took/own them). If they are from any article on this site then the answer is no, I'm afraid. That would be outwith the terms that the photos are supplied to me under.
If it's true that the organiser had a hand in this not being published then Craig is right to be pi$$ed. It's a well written synopsis that I'd have been happy to publish.
Craig provided Trials Central with a ton of photos from Duluth 2004 that did the event nothing but a great deal of good at zero cost to the organisers. Between Craig and Jake Miller we provided the most comprehensive photographic and news coverage of a World Round ever outside of the UK - and it happened in America, not Spain where you'd expect or anywhere else.
Is there anyone there from the worldwide trials central team? I thought the indoor round 3 event was tonight?
Surprised at you having a go Dabster - you're well aware of the fight I've got getting info. Yup, it was tonight and the results (such as we have them) are front page. With the Indoor Championship, Trials Central can only move as fast as Octagon - which is poor at very best. Resources do not permit us to have a "worldwide trials central team" at every event. Sorry, but this is Trials, not F1 and it it just ain't possible.
Well, look at it this way. I have to spend the weekend, I know like 3 people in the entire country. So any motorcycle show would be better than sitting in the hotel or shopping.
Bent - I ain't letting you get so close and not hook up. I'm not about much at the mo, but drop me a line offline and we'll sort something out.
Stop moaning about the sheffield trial on eurosport its a 1000 times better than watching darts,bowls,ice skating,or any other crap thats usually on.
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!
