    Trials has received pretty good TV publicity in recent years on Men & Motors. A one hour slot from each Indoor and Outdoor round. I really can't see that continuing under no-stop rules. You can't polish a turd.

    but you can roll it in glitter

    and that's not Garry :hyper:

    Dont know how you can say you enjoy watching no stop to stop allowed,but each to there own ,as for only a handful or riders can ride like this,isn't that the same at any top level motorcycle sport.

    its easy i would rather watch a rider ride the section in one go.

    FFS are we really in 2012??

    Trials (like everything else in the world) has evolved. Its a fact of life that whats been has been and the glory years as you'll no doubt see them of riding up sh*tty muddy bank, through some 3ft deep mud ruts and through some deep puddles have gone.

    While we're going back to sh*tty tyres, why not got back to twin shock or better still rigid bikes. Obviously it would have to be air cooled and maybe we could make them weigh in the region of 90-100kg while we're at it.................

    Obviously all riders would need to compete in wellington boots, wearing a flat cap, no gloves and smoking a cigarette.

    And before anyone starts, it is not that your views and opinions are wrong.They are very valid for classic bike series, twin shock series and so on.

    We are talking about the 2013 World Trials Championship - it should be the absolute pinnacle of trials riding with only the very best riders and like it or not has ultra light bikes, grippy tyres, fuel injection and so on.

    Again its evolution, evolve or die.

    OK "evolve or die" well according to the powers that be the FIM and the ACU this is evolution

    you better get used to riding without stopping, or you can always 5 every section, dose not bother me either way, how you ride the sections but the rules are the rules....stop forward motion a big fat 5 we can all have our rants but the rules are very simple

    i was only putting an opinion across to maybe help the future of the sport, and yes i do remember the glory days of trials, but i don't go and watch or photograph Pre-65 or classic trial's even though i could as my father puts plenty of trials on for the VMCC , i have moved on too... i enjoy watching modern trials, but i enjoy watching no-stop trials so much more, than stop hop and rev the tits trials, for a start there are only a handful of riders in this country who can actually ride like this anyway, i have watched riders who would have got through a section if they just RODE it, but they would try and stop and hop the back wheel 3cm to the left or right and as soon as they have done that all traction had gone and a 5 was inevitable,i was not saying we need to go twin shock, or any of the other BS you mentioned i just though of a simple way of making the sections a little bit easier for Clarke of the course to mark out, for the NEW no stop rules

    There is a solution and i think it was Alan Wright who touched on it first, , and its all down to tyres, the modern tyres are so sticky that the good riders could climb a house end, so for very little money just take the ultra sticky tyres off the market and go back to 4 ply tyres, i know this is a step backward for you hop,stop and rev the tits of your bike boys, but it would make section planning a whole lot easier, because the bikes will not be able to grip like they can now, i am sure the tyre manufacturer's will soon be able to re-tool there machines for very little expense to them

    its just a thought

    Heard on the grape vine that Toni Bou wants to keep in the theme of no stop trials and is considering a TLR 200 for nxt yr lol

    and he would still win !!!, it doesn't matter whether its stop or no-stop the top riders will always be the top riders and will always win,they always have

    so i really don't know what all the fuss is about to be honest

    and i really cant see where the problem is about marking or laying out a section if your bike stops forward motion its a five, how simple do you want it ???
