ponksy Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Hello Just joined and just bought a gas gas 125. I am 54 and a complete beginner to trials biking. Does anyone know of a club locally to me? While i have been looking at some you tube vids on technique does anyone know anyone in the area that might do some formal or one-off skills tutoring. Any help appreciated. Cheers everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transitman Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 hi Blackmore vale trials club have a trial on sunday with a beginners route, s/posted off northern roundabout at 1100 am. Nice and friendly crowd and plenty of encouragement (probably not needed). Come and ride or spectate and ask any questions you may have. look forward to seeing you.

transitman Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 that should read northern r/bout in shaftesbury (A30/A350} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponksy Posted September 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 superb - i will do that. thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hencam Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 in my opinion you would not go wrong at all trying wilts & dorset mcc Roger Painter runs the club. series is called "rider friendly series" 3 routes usually held at Chicksgrove. Roger has been around trials for many years and with his band of loyal helpers puts on some excellent friendly events. Give Roger a call on 01985 216992 explain the situation and he may be able to help. just had a thought what bike do you have?? No monoshocks at Wilts and Dorset.
