There's your answer: http://www.trialscentral.com/cms/showartic...?articleID=4403

This is as much for my own benefit so I can see them side by side as for any other reason! EDIT: Yup, NOW I get it!

So I'm not the only one who doesn't have a clue what this topic is about?

He's not a lost sheep. He's deluded. That was proven by the fact that EVERYBODY in Fort William for the SSDT last year knew that Phil Alderson had switched bikes then switched back. It was the talk of the town - literally. The fact he did that knowing it was common knowledge and then had the audacity to accept a finishers award is beyond contempt in the eyes of every genuine rider and person who gives up their time for this event. He's more than capable of finishing year after year. Okay he had a bad one. It can happen to anybody - like it did to Dougie in the Scott last year, but you just accept it and move on. It's not Trial by online jury, it's Trial by his peers - his fellow riders and he deserves everything he gets.

Topics merged. If you missed it, its not on demand replay yet, but will be soon Clicky Linky to keep an eye on Don't know if link will work for overseas users.

Met VBH at the McRae event last year and trust me, I'd only last about two minutes with her too

I've seen a lot of motiviational/inspirational speakers. Most are crap. Best by a mile was Simon Yates, the mountaineer (think Touching The Void film), but I'd love to see this guy talk. Powerful stuff even though it was short.

Beat you to it by 2 minutes

Fifth Gear - I'm told Dougie is on it tonight teaching the rather yummy VBH how to ride a trials bike

Harold Crawford, but only because they don't make them big enough!

Fact is that everybody and their brother up there knew damned fine what had gone on, but he still had the brass neck to accept a finishers award. I know guys who have had bikes fail and been absolutely devastated - Bigfoot for one. He wouldn't have dreamed of swapping to another bike and falsely claiming a finish. I applaud the Committee for excluding Mr Alderson this year and hope, to set an example to others who think they're above the rules, 2008 was his last ever Scottish.

Thanks folks - though I know of one person who isn't too pleased by my latest move Times are tight and budgets have to be focused and offer maximum return on investment. TC is ideal for anyone in the business of Trials. It's got the global coverage and the readership. Business advertises, money goes back into the sport supporting Clubs and events and gaining additional publicity for TC. Additional publicity means increased readership which in turn means increased exposure and business for advertisers. To me it's a complete no-brainer and a win-win situation for all.

I wondered how long it would take somebody!

How many water bottles can you fit in that?

If that's a press photo I'd be firing my photographer. BTW, the "press launch" will only be in Italian which is no use to the rest of the world so I don't see this is really doing any harm.

Errr..... hot talking point

From the front page article on TV Coverage. You guys might be able to pick up one of the other channels covering it: "The following TV channels will broadcast the 2009 SPEA FIM Indoor Trial World Championship:

Or LIVE at 8pm tonight on Eurosport 2. (8pm UK time, 9pm local)

Errr.....If you're logged in, why not just go to My Controls and reset password there?

Very top left.

Yup, it's time to cut back on the Impreza...

Nope. It's in the Forum Terms and Conditions that selling is absolutely prohibited here. We do, however, offer a totally free and very popular Classified Ads section available via the front page of TC. It does require seperate registration as it's not linked to the Forums, but it is free and easy to use. Folk report good success with it. Thanks for asking and not just posting like most do!

I dunno. I think it's good there's at least one Lampkin that Eddie actually likes

The moderators cannot be everywhere. Every post has a "Report" button which will bring things to our attention which we may miss and we'd encourage people to use it. The language on this topic was totally unacceptable.

Pie man is back in. SUCKER!
