All mine are feet up too except this one and foot isn't actually down so it doesn't count

Yay! Dabster and Atomant back at their best. Game on

They had a tough old week. Well done to Baldilocks who was still in there at the second last group so I assume made it to the end, and to everyone else who finished. You're all nuts!

I use a little-known and highly secret technique known as "buggering about with the settings". It's so hush-hush, I can't really say much.
This is still a relatively new camera to me and one I've not had nearly enough time using. I had major problems on Monday, as the photos show. Some were coming out light, some dark and some in-between. I went through the settings and so did Kitch and we couldn't find anything wrong. Eventually spotted bracketing was switched on. Once that was turned off all was fine. Next problem was it was set to use single focusing rather than continuous. Now that's sorted I'm really happy with the results, but I'm on Ken Rockwell's site every evening looking for other things I can tweak (and probably break it again)

I've been emailed a PDF (attached), but it's just the same as the photos of results already published. Not sure if I've ever been sent section-by-section from Pre-65

Please, please, please DON'T wear those dayglo flourescent safety jackets, particularly those with reflective strips on them. You have no idea how much they bugger up photos

Very sad to hear about Kevin passing. Spent many a night (all night on numerous occasions!) with him putting the world to rights in the bar at the Milton. Only recently came across some photos of the old crew seriously under the influence of SSDT whisky. My condolences to his family

Has there been an official statement on either cancellation or scoring or is this just Internet rumour? Nobody here can confirm, not that I'm about to go traipsing round fort William in this weather trying to find out...

That's just dumb. The only people that would suffer are the organisers. I have a bit of an insight into how much it costs to put one of these on and we're not exactly seeing organisers queuing up in the UK to take on the commitment. I know some have no interest in the world Trials "circus", but those that do need to support these events or they just won't happen.
The downside is Thierry is a big advocate of no-stop. I doubt I'd get an unbiased view. Cabestany's post-event comments (Google translated) say "And to end the trial, and speak with Michaud, and tell me that he was happy in as it had worked". In fact, Cabestany makes a number of good points:
Reflections post Motegi.
Now that it's been the first GP of the year, we have already more than a little idea of what awaits us. Here I don't want to judge if the non stop whether, or not. It is basically a new sport, and today is what touches us. The real problem is what happened in Japan. As well says the regulation, it is penalized with a fiasco when the bike stops advancing. So that he implement that! I bet because they are really strict, then it will be the only way that a pilot can focus on driving, exclusively. The feeling that I was after the trial, was the same that I have every day when I go to train. Suffer. In the daily training, why not join a forest fining me, and in the trial of Japan, that the control not me 5 to be 1.7 seconds stopped instead of 1.5. If you at least know that it will be strict, you focus on piloting the best you can, not to enter into that kind of game. Here was terrible, spent in a single area in which control the input was tolerance 0 (which I welcome), elsewhere in the area, let you make changes without forward and slightly standing before starting.
And to end the trial, and speak with Michaud, and tell me that he was happy in as it had worked, I realized that we expected a tough year. By commenting at the end of the GP, and people who spoke with him, in the U.S. you want to follow that trend, and give even more tolerance to stop. I sincerely hope that you use this month that remains until the next GP to reflect well and take a stance of tolerance 0. But, in 2 GP will be making the areas last year, and don't think that it's what he wanted when introduced this new regulation...
Already as a story, and so they give is that the non-stop is beneficial for the pilot amateur, if you look at the first round of the Japan trial, more than one pilot ended with all fives... as minor is your level of piloting, more it requires you to naturally stop.
BTW, they tried the motion sensor thing a few years ago. It didn't work.

Essential bit of kit - even if it doesn't work 100% of the time.
The one rule we don't get is the rear sprocket guard. How many minders/riders/spectators have lost/damaged fingers in the rear sprocket?

Are you driving from KENYA?

According to the results he was given a 1 for the first video and a 1 for the second video.

It won't have helped that the Japanese are notoriously strict on marking.

I feel your pain! Charly also changes it every year so just when you get used to finding what you need it moves somewhere else! It is a mine of information though - if you can find it
-
Remember it's 3 laps of 12 sections, not the usual 2 laps of 15.

There are some great ones..
If I Can't Be Number One In Your Life, Then Number Two On You.
If The Phone Don't Ring, You'll Know It's Me.
I'm So Miserable Without You; It's Like Having You Here.
