ricksta Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 The only club that organises trials at Addingham is Yeadon & Guiseley. If you are a beginner we also run an excellent Beginners series at venues all over north Yorks, including Addingham. We are also consistently the No 1 Club in the Yorkshire Centre. One or two clubs may argue this, but which club are Centre Champions? and have been for years. I rest my case. You are welcome to come to our meetings at Guiseley Cricket every other Wednesday night, the next one being on 18 Jan or our 1st Club trial of 2006 is this sunday 15th at Addingham Moorside, why not come along & ride,or just watch & get a feel for it. You can join the club on the day. Cya there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket man Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Most clubs cater for beginers. If you were to join a certain club in the yorkshire center that would enable you to ride in any trial within the yorkshire center, no matter which club is holding it.

telecat Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hiya Trialsbabe, to be flippant, Been there, done that got the t-shirt. To start if you are on a bike of up to 80cc then the "Small-wheels" trials are were you need to start. The first of these this year, is at Addingham Moorside with Yeadon Guiseley on the 15th January. ALL Yeadon-Guiseley trials, Beginners, Club and Centre/Group will have a Small-wheels trial run on a "conducted course" seperate to the main trial for Beginners/Young riders. This is normally taken by Mike Hinch the Club President and Junior Secretary. It's not a very easy course but will get you going. The other local clubs with this type of course to run on are Ripon, who run them on the same days as their "Evening trials" but at 3:30pm before the main trial and they do have a easy and hard route. Richmond also run conducted route's just watch out for their Youth trials. StuartC's Autotowbars Beginners at Bradford are also good to get you used to a "normal" trial format. I'd suggest getting used to slow tight corners with a step that may need a little bit of power as well as the more "spectacular" moves. Get out doing the Trials as much as possible. The more you ride with different clubs the better you will get. REMEMBER Practising isn't a real trial so don't knock yourself out if you don't win the first trial you enter. NYL took 7 or 8 months to really make progress but does well enough now for him to really consider the nationals as a next step. Plus If you need it get your Dad to post on the forum for more advice. There are plenty of us out here who have being tho "t'mill" and are willing to give advice. To End see you out there and most important HAVE FUN!!!
