Bernard Estripeau, the new X-Trial series promoter is French. That'll be why. To be fair, he knows how to put on a good show. They often have a theme with nice set dressing and fancy lighting. It is a circus, but people seem to enjoy it.

I've had a good dig and can't understand why that topic doesn't exist. Only two people can delete topics - me and the person who started the topic. I can't see anything in that archive that would suggest either I would have reason to remove it or OTF would have had reason to remove it himself.

We have been advised by his family that, sadly, former DOT factory rider, Wilf Couldwell passed away peacefully last Friday, 29th September at the age of 81. The funeral will be held on 14th Oct at 11am. St Teilos Church Llantilio Crossenny Abergavenny Monmouthshire Wales NP7 8TD

We were talking about this at the Travers Trial on Sunday. Hawkstone was mentioned, but there are a limited number of days it can be used and it's under great demand. Apparently it's also VERY expensive to rent the place. Agree it was the best venue in the UK, but not sure it's viable or if you'd get anyone to take on the organisation even if it were available.

Moved it

Multiple topics merged. Having a single topic for a problem allows people to see what may have already been tried.

I've already had a pop at Mick Wren about the lack of information on this. The teams are: Emma Bristow, Donna Fox and Jess Bown. James Dabill, Jack Price and Iwan Roberts

I do miss it, but last one was getting old and because of the high emissions the road tax on it alone was costing me £500 a year (or 680 of your Trump tokens)

Class sadly I've been subaru-less for over a year now. I miss the power

A while back I was given a rare copy of the book "Trials and Trials Riding" by A.B. Bourne, published in 1939. It was passed to me by a gentleman who had found it amongst his father's possessions and thought it would be of interest. He believes his father picked it up during his National Service and the book has "Orderly Room" written in pencil on the front and "Supplied for the public service" stamped inside the front cover which would support that theory. I've read it (it's amazing how little has changed) and it's now just gathering dust so I'll be donating it to the Scott Trial Charity Auction. Definitely one for a collector of Trials memorabilia.

Honda/Montesa treated Eddie very poorly because he wasn't one of the chosen ones.

Nice video and good to have a cultured soundtrack instead of the usual banging techno crap.

No issues in naming the company unless you represent that company (which happens surprisingly often) or you are receiving backhanders for promoting that company (which also happens). Guilty parties always get caught.

Outdoor is normally on youtube a few days after the event. Half an hour or so. TC carries all results and standings here (other years, both indoor and outdoor available too)

Regardless of who made the report, it sets a dangerous precedent and creates a horrible situation for a small sport. 13 years I travelled the world and the paddock was always a very friendly place where everybody was buddies. Turning rider against rider, minder against minder and team against team is not going to be pretty.

Looking at the results, he picked up 20 additional points, presumably on time. The only GP rider to do so. Assume it's something to do with that.

Toni Bou practices at Naturlandia. That about 5 miles up the hill from Sant Julia de Loria in Andorra (which you will be passing through) and well signposted, but obviously going to be a bit hit or miss whether he's there or not. It's worth the trip to Naturlandia anyway to do the mega toboggan run

I've just checked and the ability to delete attachments wasn't enabled for normal members. That is now enabled. As Stan says, TC Supporters have unlimited storage so for them this is not a concern.

Nah. We have our conference in Vegas every year. The 11 hour flight sucks - and that's after another 2 hours to get to London. Plenty events in the UK for me to cover and interest in the WTC has been waning for a few years now.

Nope. After 13 years of hauling my ass round the world, I've hung up my cameras as far as the world championship is concerned.
