Howdy,

Well after years of observing it seems I do not have a clue.

When a rider is standing flat footed and the rear axle passes his legs I thought this was a five.

When a rider rolls his front wheel out over the only path "u" turns and runs over his front only tire track with front and back tires I thought this was a five.

I was told by the trials master I was wrong on both. So what do you think?

Cheers,

Tesamon

As for the rear axle I would say yes that is a five as long as it was both legs, but I was pretty forgiving this last weekend when guys where pushing up the sandy hill in my section :D

When I checked a national last year I was told both wheels must cross the same line for it to be a five, not just one.

From NATC rules,

The rider dismounts from the machine and has both feet on the ground on the same side of or behind the machine.

Yea, you're wrong (again), as the "machine" extends beyond the rear axle. :thumbup:

I usually find myself "behind the machine" in the mental sense!
