Hi there I was working on some display equipment a few years ago and we had to put a walk way through that was set to get wet. A very good friend of mine is a paint expert so I asked him to supply a non slip paint. What i was given was a paint with grit in it, it was fine if you were walking over it, but because it was glossy i'm convinced that if you tried to ride a bike over it the rubber on the tires would have slipped. I think the non slip answer is indeed chicken wire. Pete

Hi there, you could always go to the local paper and look in the archieves, it'll have the forcast in for that day and if you look at the following day as well it will say if it snowed. Just a thought and good luck. Pete.

Hello Waynio can you please tell me if this is the magazine's web site trials-magazine.co.uk Many thanks Pete

Hi there Well done, that looks like a great job well done. I'm new to the cyclo trials, I've been watching this forum for a while now and I have to say I take my hat off to you. Did I miss out on the pre hype to this? was it pre advertised? if so where. It would be good to know when events like this are going ahead......... Pete

Thanks JP, it's a little worrying that we did trials around the same time yet your 10 year old son is competing and my grandson is not far off starting. As for me doing cyclotrials that's a complete no no as i'd need a full suspesion trials bike and at least 2 weeks off work lol. I've seen the monty and the koxx I think i'll wait a year or 2 and just let him ride his converted bmx for now. Just a quick question if you don't mind answering, why is the minimum age 6 and also is there an upper age limit as well. My last trial was 5 years ago in the over 40 class, do they have an over 40's class in cyclotrials?

Hi there, I've been looking at the forum for a while now, I'm an old bloke who used to do a lot a motor trials back in the 80's. I always hoped my son would follow suit but he never did, however i've now got a 3 year old grandson who can ride his bike without those extra spare wheels at the back! I know it's early but I think he's got what it takes. So the question is: what do I do to help him progress? Motor bike trials and cyclo trials are very much the same but I've never done it on a push bike, any suggestions to help Lewis would be much appreciated. Thanks Pete
