outlaw dave Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I see they list Nantmawr as being in Shropshire - it's actually just over the border in Wales. ( My wife lived there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) The Expert race was dominated by one thing: The Atom. As he'd won the trials event and put up a time that they weren't sure anybody in the Expert Enduro event was going to beat, they put up a challenge for Browny. If he could ride the first hour of the event and stay out in front he'd take a Edited January 27, 2008 by bikespace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomant Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Something unexpected come up and couldn't go so well miffed Looked like it was as a good 'un too. After I saw Browny at Sheffield it opened my eyes to his potential. I knew he was good but hell he is much better than I even thought. I will go as far as saying I believe he is currently Britains best hope for a future World Champion. Go Atom As a side note, I suggest that Taddy will be earning more than Bou in a years time (if hes not already). That's trials for ya !

bikespace Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) I didn't make it to Sheffield, but speaking with a group of lads today, they said they couldn't believe how good he was at Sheffield. They reckoned the results didn't show what they saw in the arena. Something special there, they were saying. This year should be a big one for him. Lets watch out for the press this week - now Knighter won the event fair and square, but if I had to write a headline, there's only one bloke who would be in it - Browny. Made my day today and a lot of other people too. I reckon there's a space in the market for a hybrid trials/enduro bike for these extreme enduro's. What's the Scorpa T ride like? I heard there was one there today, but I never saw it. What happened to it? I noticed there was a mixture of trials and enduro tyres too. The trials tyres seemed much more suited to todays event.

I heard there was one there today, but I never saw it. What happened to it? Joe Baker was entered on the T-Ride and i too am wondering what happen to the T-Ride? AA, your comments on Browny and how good he is, and you to BS are you sure he's our countries next super star i was looking more at Dabill and Wiggy to carry the flag?.. Not doubting chaps but wiggy and dabill have been snapped up by TRW which i thought was a better deal then Browny on a Beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acchhhh - I really don't know how he compares to the other two - I've not seen much of them, my comments were just what I repeated from people's comments today Put it this way, if he doesn't manage to get to the top in trials, he may like to try his hand at Enduro, particularly the more extreme ones.

ben Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 One word to sum up today AWESOME!!!!!! First time I had ever been to an enduro event and it won't be the last. Pune, as ever, was pure genius and seemed to outclass everyone else. Wiggy and Danby also had very good rides and certainly showed the "older" riders a thing or two. Cracking event, well done to all Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doubting chaps but wiggy and dabill have been snapped up by TRW which i thought was a better deal then Browny on a Beta. Browny was like a mini Bou at Sheffield - Aggressive, fearless and 'confident' too. Considering the size of the sections, he looked completely at home on them. It was just very, VERY impressive and I am sure there were a lot more people in the crowd who thought the same as me. His Dad was sitting 2 rows down from me and his grin was as wide as it gets. He was happy for sure Today it appears he's done the same ! Fair play to him TRW have signed Dabill & Wiggy based on their 'potential' to be top riders. Who's saying they have got it right? Time will tell I suppose. IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
city trials Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I love it. Now you guys are getting the feeling we're having in the states. Extreme events showcase trials skills like none other. The 'who's the dude without a seat' comments still crack me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montman Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I agree AWESOME!!!!!! There were plenty of cameras around the course - Does anybody have information when and where it will be on the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_king Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I heard Sky Sports and Channel 5 had the rights to show it. But that does not mean that it will be on at a good time mind you. Sadly I was unable to go but cant wait to watch the footage. I expect we will see a few clips to appear on YouTube soon.
