lancsvet Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Jarvis definately missed a section because I was the observer, he was the first bike through and just rode straight past above us, Dougie was 2nd bike about a minute behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on a JST GasGas 125 as well, tuned by Mick Danby of course He's up for 3 awards and I'm well happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fellonmelug Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 It would be a shame ( for all the leading contenders) if the trial was won or lost on a small error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalshell Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 (edited) Arrived at the start at 7.30 ish the sheep were still asleep and hares were frollicking in the floodlit carpark ( really i wouldnt make it up) as dawn broke the mist occasionally broke into light rain and dark clouds to the north and west looked very menacing the start filed was relatively dry with stiky mud underr the surface and as little or no rain fell during the day if you ever wanted to ride for a finish today must have been the perfect opportunity taking Perce' s advice from an earlier thread i took in underbacks and used the large carpark ( and it needed to be as thier were easily 150 cars in it when i came back) the sectin is an old green lane in a wooded gully with good spectator banking on either side so everyone can get a view of the 50 yard section, with the use of some stone a straight forward section up 5 steps about 5 metres apart with the first and smallest about 2 foot hagh and ending with a 4 foot double step. most took a dab as the stiky mud was dragged onto the steps but about 50 probably cleaned most stylish been Danny Gamble playing to the crowd and grabbing air on the last step I watched almost everyone through up till doug who just rode it like it wasnt there also very smooth Graham Tales nothing fancy but plenty of energy saving and letting the bike do the work, youngsters who think thier going to set fastest time and never do, let alone ever finish, might wish to seek out Talesys results.. Took the CB road up to the petrol before surrender to watch the stragglers through then crossed the road to where the petrol was laid out for the bikes after the grouse moors before they had a go at Bypass not quite as much water as last year and the sections were moved slightly Grimbo and Doug arrived about half a minute apart and welll ahead of the programmes guide time, clearly the dry conditions would mean lots of finishers but time was criyical because these two were flying Jarvis was second up after Dan clark and took to the banking after the large boulder then doug arrives and shouts ''any one any advice'' and proceeds to ride up like Tarmac had been laid John Sunter flatted his rear tyre and returned to the road to beg /borrow a ty wrap to hold the rear tyre on. 45 minutes by the beck then back in the motor and off to Goats splash way above Marske on very narrow tarmac roads which get used so little grass grows down the middle, even though this is a reccomended spectator point in the programme anly about half a dozen cars and a similar number of bikes made the effort the first in the beck is really black water and about two foot deep with a n exit that you,d probably want to look at before you rode the section but been the Scott the lads threw their bikes at the foot wide gap at the side of the double rock step and got out without much ado jarvis arrived first and then nearly five minutes later doug turned up easily 10 mins clear of the next in fact only 15 riders came in the first 45 min. most cleaned or dropped one the final section here (no 70) is a snotty climb over loose green rockery with a three foot step at the very end young lads spent the hour before the first riders arrivel riding the section and dragged a ton of sticky mud up the section, losing whatever advantage the earlier runners may have gained from a virgin section. Jarvis took a steading dab as he crested the final step whilst doug sailed up. jarvis looked like he was riding fast and getting faster whilst doug was getting huge cheers just for arriving at the sections and the pair of them were riding well beyond the capabilities of any other rider a perfect day for an exiled yorkshire man the sun shone on God's own country ( through the rain clouds) and a Yorkshireman ( real one , not some comer in) probably won the best trial in the world Edited October 21, 2006 by totalshell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perce Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 (edited) Dougie won, missed section means you're out in the Scott so Grimbo was a DNF. Had he done the section he missed it would have been very very close. Yeah, well if he missed a section then thats it! well at least its going to a good cause Andy had the Edited October 22, 2006 by PERCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
