Why not just go back to the company you purchased the machine from and ask for advice????

Jason Lawler another lad from the South West area

What happened to Martin Richards (Cornwall area). Another National rider in the 80s 90s

Looking back on some of the top riders in Nationals what happened to Paul Rose from Sheffield. A good steady rider and very well mannered.

Been watching a few videos on facebook, you tube etc of the current batch of WTC contenders. I cannot understand why they are still practising to balance, hop and bop, move sideways, backwards and never use flags. Looks good but a lot of 5s if it was a trial. Have the rules changed for 2016 - no flags and ride section anyway they want?

Pop along to the Bradford & DMC Beginners & Novice trial next Saturday. Steady trial to suit all beginners and wobbly dads. Look for bradfordtrials dot com for directions to venue.

Copy of correspondence between the Club and the ACU: Hi Peter Richard has kindly forwarded me your email regarding Bradford’s concerns about the circumstances of an Official administering first aid and then possibly being held liable if as a result of this first aid assistance, further injuries were sustained by the casualty. In a nutshell, this liability is covered in an extension to our Insurance policy. Basically it is recognised by the Insurer that sometimes a medic can be delayed in reaching the casualty and in circumstances like this the Official/Marshal may be required to perform first aid until the arrival of a suitably trained medical person. This is all covered under our ‘Good Samaritan act’ – so any further injuries that might have been caused by a non medical person would be covered by the ACU insurance policy and supported by the ACU if any further legal claim was to arise as the individual performing such medical provision would have been doing so in an attempt to make the casualty more comfortable or to save life. I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can help any further. Kind regards Gary Gary Thompson MBE BEM General Secretary

Not just observers. Top riders not supporting the nationals. The AJ this weekend has attracted 20 on the National course. Is it worth marking out sections for the top boys if they dont support these trials. (Thank you to the 20 who have supported the club, some for the last 10+years). This years trial 85% over 40ish Maybe next year mark just one course suitable for the Novice (Clubman) rider. (These are my thoughts not the Clubs)

I dont think so Entry for the recent YG ACU/Oset Championship see attached photo

Easy enough to buy on the day just outside the venue. Last time I paid less than 15 euros http://www.barcelonayellow.com/bcn-events/venueevents/4-el-palau-sant-jordi-arena-barcelona Been twice and no problem. The Barcelona round is normally fixed i.e does not get cancelled or a date change. Brilliant atmosphere when you join in.

Hello, I see that the 2nd hand rumour mill has started. (I didn't actually here if from an observer). How can I check from a video if they were instructed to count to 3?? This is not a rumour - When I was organising the observers at Hawkstone Park and Fort William, both L&M Events, all observers were asked to penalise the rider if they ceased moving in a forward motion. In the case of FW this would have been a 5. No counting up to 3 etc. In the majority of cases this happened, in a few cases it did not, as stated by many armchair observers in the forums after the FW trials. My question is 'what happened at the meeting with the observers at Penrith. Was an instruction given to count to 3 or anything similar? Can someone who observed at Penrith reply please.

See here http://www.acu.org.uk/News/2014/01/2014-ACU-NORMANDALE-TRADITIONAL-TRIALS-CHAMPIONSHIP/ You will find the regs under Round 6: August 3rd The Bootle Traditional Trial organised by Bootle Scrambles Club. Permit No 41976.

D Lampkin, G Jarvis, J Dabill, J Challoner or D Clark. Lampkin & Jarvis would be OK for the TDN type of section. Both still good enough. J Dabill top British rider at the moment. J Challoner or D Clark, both I think could compete on the TDN type of section. M Brown not fit enough yet. Ross Danby maybe.
