jj65 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Just a reminder for anyone interested, it's this weekend, ladies on Saturday and men on Sunday. It s a brilliant event, sadly I won't be there as I've got to work (unless I can wangle a day off). The best riders in the UK will be riding some mega sections. Saturday Ladies: Becky Cook Emma Bristow Danielle Whitham Nikita Smith Jessica Bown Sunday Men: James Dabill Michael Brown Alexz Wigg Jack Challoner Ross Danby Sam Haslam Ben Morphett Ricky Wiggins Craig Robinson Jack Sheppard "This year's North Berks Bonanza Super Trial will be held on Sat 11th for the TOP Ladies event and Sunday 12th August for the TOP Mens 2012 at Seymours Arena, Aston Tirrold Oxon starting at 11.00am. There will be a big prize fund available and Stuart has been in contact with lots of top british riders! This year there will be 2 laps of 7 sections for qualifying, with the top four riders going through to the final, which will be 1 lap Of 8 sections. There'll be camping available from Friday night, trade and food stands will also be available, as well on-site toilets. Some work on section design has already started so it'll be different for the riders from last year. The waterfall will be in use again."

pete_scorpa3 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Becky Cook, Emma Bristow and Nikita Smith made it through to the final of the North Berks Super Trial at Seymours Arena. Going into the last section of the day, Becky led Emma by six marks to eight. Following two qualifying laps and an eight section finale, it was all down to the last section of the day, the infamous Waterfall. Nikita was first to attempt the section and with extra minders on hand, and despite a determined try just failed to make the sumit. Next to try was Becky. Looking like she had made it, her Beta just slipped back just before the top and she also recorded a failure. This put the pressure on Emma who knew that she had to make it through to stay in the event. As both her and Becky were on equal cleans, a three would force a tie break, less would secure victory. A full throttle attack at the top step saw Emma make it up, to a huge round of applause but sadly she had been docked a five earlier in the section when she stalled her machine whilst dabbing. Becky took the win on 11 marks to Emma's 13 with Nikita on the rostrum in third place. Well done to the ladies and to the North Berks club who staged a superb event which showcased the best riders in the UK. The men are competing on Sunday. The sections are very impressive and you can get within a few inches of the action, it's well worth a visit. Pete. One last note, keep a lookout for 14 year old Nikita Smith, she is going to be World Class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
