This is a Trials website and not a place for the discussion of bovine political views, so yes. That's why it keeps disappearing.

Woah guys. Before we start doing the old "The sky's falling" in bit and spreading panic and rumour around the Trials world, can we just take a step back from this. This is a confirmed case, but it is, at present, isolated. There is currently no reason to think it is widespread and unless and until we hear otherwise from DEFRA there is no reason for concern unless you Trial in the immediate vicinity of the outbreak. Restrictions on the movement of livestock are common in these cases as a precautionary measure. It does not automatically mean a repeat of 2001. Bear that in mind before posting scaremongering comments on these forums. I'll delete anything I see which blows what is currently an isolated incident out of proportion until we hear otherwise.

Monsieur Camozzi and I have had words before about him stealing photos from my website. I don't want him to have any excuse to have a go at me. Photos removed.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! That's the Jake "If I take enough shots, I'm bound to get a good one!" Miller style of photography! Don't go down that route!

Pffft. Bleedin' amateurs!

Is there a national Geordie day so you can celebrate too?

Extensive photo coverage is accessible via the front page and video will be added shortly.

Grimbo was a joy to watch on Sunday. No pressure on him and he looked like he was really enjoying himself. He does, however, need to commit to coming out on the lash with the rest of the Brits after the TdN this year instead of wussing out like he did last year

Obviously, laying on an event on the scale of Hawkstone is a massive venture and, whilst I don't know everything that's involved, I do get a good idea of the work that's needed due to working closely with Jake throughout the year. It's a mammoth task these guys take on and there are loads of people involved in making it happen. However, there is one guy who I think deserves a little bit of public recognition for the work he does as he's very much behind the scenes, but he has worked his a**e off for the past three years to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. Apart from his involvement in preparing the site and the sections, on "race day" he is absolutely everywhere to make sure bent markers are replaced, snapped section tape is sorted, loose rocks are removed lest they fall on spectators and generally doing all he can to ensure a successful and smooth event. Long after you lot had gone home I saw him out on his bike collecting marker flags and helping with the clear up. The general public don't get to see, or even think about that side of things, but Harry Lampkin - I salute you for all you've done to ensure the success of these events for the past three years.

You'll get better responses if you let folk know what bike and year you've bought.

Looks like Mick Wren!

To clarify a few points. They are not "fairy lights". They are my "twinklies" and I love my twinklies Atomant is a one-pint wonder. He as much as sniffs a wine gum he falls over I was taking it easy. With no security guys on duty, I had to and was up at 7am this morning clearing up way before anybody else surfaced - and they only surfaced because Martin Lampkin was about talking in his usual soft tones! PS If you want to talk about who was totally wasted and had to be put to bed, ask Kinell

I made my congratulations personally earlier today, but would like to make a little comment here. I was in Gefrees in Germany in September 2005 when I saw a very proud (and slightly tearful!) Dad witness his son win his very first Junior World round. Today, it brought a lump to the throat to see that same proud Dad grab that same son as he crossed the finishing line as Junior WORLD CHAMPION. I'm really pleased not just for Michael, but for his folks and for Shaughan and his folks too. Nicer folk you couldn't hope to meet and I look forward to seeing The team of Atom and Menanddogs take on the big boys. They'll be dancing in the streets of Scarborough tonight!

Are we likely to see any of that Viagra rain? You know the stuff that falls upwards.

It's taken JL this long to manage to send text emails. It'll be another 5 years or so before he gets to grips with attachments!

Ewwwww. Last guy I saw that looked like that tried to take Highland Lassie's vodka away from her

Poor Slapshot - the only time anybody wants to talk to him is the week before the SSDT and the week before Hawkstone

Gas Gas Fan site. Not Gas Gas site. There is a difference.

Quote from Sky News: "As thousands of people spend another night without running water, the Queen has said she is "shocked and deeply concerned" by the flood devastation." C'mon then Queenie. We pay for you to live your life of luxury. Dip into your royal purse and all it's billions and chip in. I sure as hell won't be. My charity donations go solely to animal charities.

I'm running daily updates on the front page for those interest in how things are taking shape.

You're James Dabill, aren't you?

Don't forget Brownie. He only has to finish 7th or above to take the World Junior Title on his home soil. Go for it big time for all our Brit lads. We've got some serious established talent and some great riders coming up through the ranks. Go for it for all of them but my appeal would be - please, lose the bloody airhorns. They're nowt but annoying and painful on the ears. Nobody else uses them apart from the Brits and they hurt like hell when someone lets one off close to you.
