woody Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 phil king results anywhere, points are on the acu page.anyone want to comment on hard it was , some of the twin shock boys really found the turns and drops a bit to much. the top twin shock boys can hop and jump there bikes around the tight turns, do you think its right to make it that tight , the lads who just come to make up the numbers and want to do a one lap trial. wont return next year if its to hard and you will end up with just the top riders entering the events.other events in this championship have been really good. And therein lies the problem. It's supposed to be a classic series with no-stop sections. Making them tight just encourages trick riding - against the rules but it is what happens when sections are too tight and riders aren't given a 5 for it. What's the bloody point in having a classic series with trick riding. That's what modern trials are for. I had enough of seeing that at the last round which is why I didn't bother entering this one. I know it gives the organisers problems, but I think the trial was much better when it was held in February and peeing down with rain or snow. Sections didn't need to be tight and the big climbs were a real challenge in the wet. Unfortunately I think the Classic series is losing its way and its sight of the original concept.

frenchie Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I was going to ride this year but unforeseen circumstances dictate it now will have to be next year, I would however be interested in peoples thoughts after the trial, I understand the sections will be eased this year but will remain one if not the best trials in the Eastern centre.

gasgasjamie Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I rode the trial yesterday, Cracking trial on a very nice day. Nice ride round; good variety of sections, both in type and difficulty, with a sting in he tail towards the end at 2nd last group. Heard it was driest for years and so made it easier, but the trial wasnt a walk in the park, thats for sure. Put me down for next year.

woody Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Still a few sections a bit tight for a no-stop trial which results in the inevitable stop and hop but pretty good overall with the sections getting better towards the end. Day to forget for me though with about eight 5s from a flooding carb everytime the bike was pointed down hill. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillary Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Even though I'm a columnist on this website, I can't manage to originate a thread, so have added to this thread which is the nearest I can get. For those interested in the Traditional Trials Series, don't forget that the Angela Redford is on March 15, 2008, which is the third round of the series. Entries close on March 8 and already the number is up on last year, but we don't want to turn anybody away who wants to ride. So, the meassage is to get that last minute entry into Mike Rapley asap. It will be a superb trial with lots more land coming into use this year, and having been out marking out, it really will be well worth a ride.
