billycraig Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Am completing some university work about trials and need a credible source to reference. I thought the acu site had an explanation of what trials is but I can't seem to find anything (maybe since they altered the website). FIM site doesn't seem to have anything either. Does anyone have any ideas? (books or sites other than wikipedia) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada280i Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 How about this fron trials Canada http://www.trialscanada.com/whatis.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micm Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 There is the ACU Handbook which has the 'standing regulations' for Trials - no pun intended I expect. Otherwise any of the books on Trials which have been listed on TC in past discussions. More recently the books have morphed into Videos and DVDs. Older books include:- Motor Cycle Trials Riding Max King 1955 and 1972 Observed Trials Bernie Shreiber Trials - A Rider's Guide Don Morley Motor Cycle Trials Techniques and Training Lane Leavitt and Len Weed Ride It! The Complete Book of Motor Cycle Trials Don Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I recall that when I started (early 1970s) the ACU handbook defined trials as a "competiton in which competitors endeavour to fulfil prescribed conditions". I guess that really clarified it for anyone who needed to know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old trials fanatic Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Why is it? My time, my money, my choice what I do with it. I agree anyway I've no idea what WOFTAM is so good luck with your uni work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billycraig Posted August 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I agree anyway I've no idea what WOFTAM is so good luck with your uni work. Waste of "flipping" time & money! Thanks, not the most interesting piece of psychology work but covering trials has made it more interesting.
