please don't let me die curious ...

what do you need a video of kickstarting for?

Poor ev....

Kickstart was a UK Trials TV show. I hadn't heard of it until very recently a very nice person gave me a couple of DVD's from 85 and 86. It featured the worlds best riders takling a course a bit like cross country horse comps. It really is a fantastic format, I am thinking of trying something similar here.

See guys not all Aussies know very little...... Well I guest I did find out about it from a pom :wall:

If you were a kid in the UK in the 80's like many of us on here were, Kickstart was prime time kids TV and totally compulsive viewing. It was Trials on mainstream TV at peak viewing times. Coverage like that has never been seen since and probably never will be again - best publicity for the sport ever without a doubt.

I wasn't even into Trials at the time - my involvement with the sport didn't come until Kickstart was long dead and I was into my twenties, but I still remember it as being classic stuff and always talked about at school the next day. Many an hour on the Commodore 64 was spent on the Kickstart game trying to emulate what they did on telly. Ahhh - the good old days! :wall:
