Having to get there early to get a section at the moment!

Where was Katherine Wardle???

Chris is running Novice or clubmans in Yorkshire centre, Middle course at Eboracum and Novice elsewhere. He's in his first "B" class year. Still able to run Beginners as he moved classes this Year but he'd getting a bit too good. I'm looking at the local national's next year and see how he does.

Sorry in advance for the mutiple post but not getting any reply in the Gas Gas forum. Did anybody on here get there paws on one of these and what do you think of it?

Any body out there get one? if so what's your impression of it?

It's not going to be easy to find a practice area. My Son spent time at BUMPY learning on a TY80 before I bought him an old Amigo and we started going out to trials. We then spent a lot of time between trials at Addingham practicing before we ventured further. Any Child is going to find it difficult at first. After all their are young riders who have been there a year or so and "know the ropes". But if encouraged they will get to the top of the tree. The main thing is to make sure they are enjoying themselves. Also get to the Conducted trials. Barnsley are holding some in Grimethorpe and I have heard good things about them from Ryan Cartwright's parents. Ripon hold some with an "easy" and "Hard" Course held at 3 to 3.30 on the same day as their evening trials. Yeadon Guiseley's hold them at all Centre, Group , club and Beginners trials, the section's are similar at all. Richmond have a conducted or easy course at most of the Youth trials, Horsforth hold some good beginners (at Tong as well!) and contact StuartC at Bradford about His Autotowbars Beginners trials as they also welcome the "small wheelers" and are good at giving them an idea of a "real" trial. The best way to learn is to discover what's out there and ride. I think I speak for everybody in saying that Kids and Dads are always welcome and all clubs try and make sure that they are going to leave happy after an enjoyable day out.

Haven Are the importers of the "On&Off" brand so you should be able to obtain it at a local dealer. The one We got ours off is Pennine Trialsport. They turn up at (Yorkshire Centre) Local trials selling the gear and bike essentials so finding them isn't a problem.

Only thing is to contact Hudderfield Falcons or Barnsley to see if they know of any.

Have a word with Horsforth they have a practice area on the Ring Road that you can use if a member.

My Son's gone "On&Off" as the patterns are different and he was fed up of his Tech 07 Hebo. Looks very different on Him!

Addingham Moorside is cheapest just between Addingham and Silsden. Farmer comes along to collect money, closer to you Is BUMPY. Costs about a tenner to join and a fiver for the day. The area has some good trials terrain but it is limited and you have to watch out for the quads and enduros they hire out. http://bumpy.org.uk/

As an aside the reason I run 98 RON in my son's trials bike is because they is a sticker on the frame stating that the bike is designed to run on 98 RON fuel. (Sherco 125).

In the UK the Main Petrol available is 95 RON also available are BP Ultimate And Esso at 97 RON, Shell Optimax and Q8 98 RON and Leaded fuel sold by Bayford. This is because there is a clause in the fuel act that states Leaded 100 RON must be sold up to a percentage of unleaded fuel. The web site is www.leadedpetrol.co.uk. The only reason NOT to use leaded petrol is if the vehicle you are using has a Catalytic converter. The lead coats the metal inside, (platinum) so stops it working. Trials bikes don't have cats as the oil mix stops them working.

Oh it's lots more than that!

Sadly Brian Carter Passed away this afternoon. Rest in Peace. www.Yeadon-Guiseleytrials.co.uk

I am a Queen fan but the Quote is from "Life in the Air Age" By Be-Bop Deluxe from Sunburst Finish(1976). Mainly into 80's electronic music. The info I have is for the Full system(Laptop etc) and includes the system. Have to admit I have only seen Sue operate it once but the same system is used by Richmond, and usually Sue has results on the Website that evening. I'll email you the guy's company off-line.

If u are still interested I'll check out where it came from.

System already exists. Richmond and ourselves use a system running on Acer Laptops with Mega batteries as not to drain car systems.

Martin and Dan Clark Have a trials display team that takes up most of their weekends. When I last saw Neil he was saying they had switched to Gas Gas (probably from Cobb & Jagger). I also remember that when Martin last came on the site to explain the situation he said that they were still supplying clothing and boots.(Can't remember whose tho!).

That is what he is doing! Came back this week for the SSDT and comes back to ride for JLI in major UK trials but those are on the JLI bike not the TTT one!

The TTT Bike is very different to the JLI bike so you'll only see the differences on World rounds. The TTT bike is an "original" REV3 chassis but everything else has been updated or changed. His dad is very impressed with it and the team.

Don't know if camping allowed on the site but plenty of places close by. There are two Caravan sites visible from The venue itself.

It's a Conducted route for the little un's. Mike Hinch runs it but all the Dads muck in and we only charge

Looks like the Secretary has moved the Trial to Norwood Top. Events on http://www.yeadon-guiseleytrials.co.uk/ Hopefully once the weather is better we can get to Brimham!

The Venue is an escarpment. From the gate straight in front the track continues straight up the escarpment, Not a section to be taken lightly(used in nationals mainly). To the left side of that track is a rock field. As you get closed to the slope the bigger they get. They are still good for practising as you can put together a section with a couple of challenging rocks or go for the rock to rock leaps. To the right of the track is a flat area with some good 3 to 5 foot rocks to get up. Some are sloped/peaked others are flat on top. Behind them is a rock field with a mix of big and small rocks up to the slope. The slope from that middle section described get progressvely shallower. Some good climbs and big rocks down this end. The "car Park" area is where a rough road turns right to the flat area and left to the better car park on a muddy day. The grass holds the mud together and it is longer allowing more cars to park. Just watch out for the rocks jutting out. There are a few rocks here used for warming up and there is a flattish area between the left road fork and the rock field. The area from here to the left is much bigger and has some large rocks in groups providing some very good practice. If you go right over to the wall and look up to the escarpment there are groups of these rocks going up to the slope and along the bottom. There is also a "cut" in the escarpment just above and to the left of the Car parking area. This is used both up and down hill during trials. Hope That helps and just as a guide Yeadon Guiseley got 10 sections in for a Beginners Trial without going into the left side of the Moor which is Much bigger!
