That is good news, and if true then I can have them downloadable from the events calendar on here too.

Can I have your autograph please, Mr. Subira, sir? Make the most of that photo folks. It is, unfortunately, the only time you're ever likely to see a Trials Rider with the Sports Personality of the year trophy in his hands.

Got home tonight and card through the door saying Citylink had attempted to deliver a parcel. Only thing it can be is the battery pack. The boys at Walters come good again. I really do recommend talking to them if you're in the market for anything photographic related and in the UK.

Sports personality of the year of course! And I know it's him for two reasons 1) He sent me the photo and 2) I've met him!

No, not Dougie - he's not good enough. It's none other than our very own dark horse of the Trials world - SUBIRA!!!! :santa1:

So did Nigel Dabster's!!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/sports_talk/3318381.stm

Anything I do make out of this long term will be pumped straight back in, be it in covering expenses to cover more events or competition prizes or whatever. It's a hobby, not a business venture You're right though. The ads are a nice splash of colour on the front page.

There have been a few threads of this nature and I've deleted them. They were deleted without explanation. They were deleted because I don't want speculation, conspiracy theories or anything else brought up. There's been enough of that, but I do think you deserve some sort of explanation as to the situation. The owners of Trials Action stated they wanted to move the site from my server to a hosting company elsewhere. They were provided with the information they needed to obtain a copy of the site from my server. They needed that before they could upload it to another site. They have downloaded the entire site (to the best of my knowledge). I'm assuming the transfer is currently taking place, but I don't really know. I'm told they have "specialists", but don't really know that either. All I know is that Trials Action is totally transferred away from me and I no longer have anything whatsoever to do with it. My focus is Trials Central - 110%. Nothing else has any relevance, nor will it detract from that focus. That's the facts. You don't want to know the rest! This thread will now be closed. It's the only one where I'll comment on the topic. Anything else on this subject will be deleted.

Guys, there's an awful lot of what can only be described as "bollocks" appearing in threads. Can you try and keep them on topic please. The "Anything Goes" forum is designed for off-topic chat. Threads anywhere else should stay on the subject of Trials. If they wander off-topic, I'll just either close them or move them to the off-topic forum. Ta muchly. Andy PS. I know I'm guilty of it as much as anyone else!

Techno - please don't use SMS talk on here. Type in full English please. It's a pet hate of mine. Thankyoumuchly

Without going into any kind of detail, you'll learn one day that that is not a good combination :santa1: :santa1: :santa1: :santa1:

Best thing you can do is hassle the Club to use the facilities on Trials Central to get their results out quickly and easily. Not that I'm biased in any way, but it seems to be working for others! :santa1:

YAY! well done to Antony Povey in Australia for getting this published: "I can't believe that there is still no recognition for Dougie Lampkin the 7 times World Outdoor Trials champion and 5 times indoor. In a time when British world champions are few and far between, this is an outrageous exclusion " Good on ya!

Get your backsides over to http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/sports_talk/3318381.stm They're asking for feedback so don't hold back!!! :hat:

Hell no! You sound like you know what you're talking about and I'm still very much a learner. Any advice is very welcome. (Apart from that, I don't mind links to other sites on here unless it's blatant spamming)

Posted on behalf of Mr. Boofont:

Perce is in the photo?

I found a whole hotel:

Worthy of front page news methinks. Thanks for the tip-off Mick! :hat:

Just to avoid any speculation, I have taken the TA forums offline. I have passed them a dump of the forum database so that they can reconstruct them wherever they're moving the site to. There is no point in sending a point-in-time dump if the forums are still active as that dump then becomes out of date and invalid. By taking the forums offline, they can then rebuild them to exactly the point they were at when I took them offline. Easy!

Yeah - John may be able to help, or maybe one of his domestic staff could take one of his fleet down BTW, I thought about coming along, but looked at the map and it's just a tad too far - especially if the weather turns nasty. My car and snow don't mix.

Hmm. Name Steve....... To be honest, I'm caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. I've seen Steve more times than I care to remember at the Scottish, but this will be my first time at an Indoor round so yeah, I'd love to see him up close and get the photos. On the other hand, Shaun has, potentially, a great future and competing with the World's best in that environment would be great experience for him. Do we go with showmanship to entertain or do we nurture the future? That is the question. I wanna see both!

Just had a longer look at them and definitely a touch of the Marlon Brando in there.

No, in a park in the rain with my jacket over the camera to protect it and me getting soaked in a t-shirt. However, I learned like you that handheld for fireworks ain't no good:

How much you spend depends on a)what you want it for and how much you're going to use it. There are some fantastic digital cameras out there now in the lower price bracket. I've not tried the Finepix cameras myself (I'm totally sold on Canon), but I've heard good things about them.
