numbnuts Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 sorry if this has already been covered, but I've been away!! Saw a re-run of last weeks "Vroom Vroom" program, "Skys" attempt to emulate the success of Top Gear etc. Anyway they had a small piece on trials riding, the usual half hearted, unresearched effort but with Dougie roped in and doing his best to explain the sport and help some dizzy-ass woman (no disrespect to ANY lady riders intended, but she was annoying) having a go at a "section". Anyway was reasonably ok as it started off by showing some of the extreme world round stuff etc but went down hill rapidy as the narrator described that there were approx 30 clubs in the UK(!?), the cost of riding a trial is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Surely you are not suggesting that one of Rupert Murdochs companies has not researched something thoroughly before broadcasting???? Surely not Serves you right for watching Sky. You should be in the shed fettling for Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 The whole show had its facts wrong pretty much, such as putting on the spoiler for more grip off the start in a drag race? Perhaps there was a strong head wind, but it was still on the back of a front wheel drive?????? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitjay - hrc Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Its a pathetic attempt at a copy. However, i have started watching fifth gear which i like, because the presenters are quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
