    But they're not even sections in the traditional sense. It's a bunch of big on-off moves then loop round and do something else in the 'section' then go somewhere else and do another move. It's like TGS mixed in with an autocross course!

    Hey Ross that looks like a Cal section from two years ago in the gully. Same number of gates. Just pulling yer plonker Cal if you see this.

    Saw a clip from a comp in Spain from a few weeks ago that had a sidehop bar mid-section.  We've officially reached peak UCI.

    Last year at BIUs world championship they had a half ton rock on four conveyor belt coil springs from the quarry. By the end of the day they were so close to the edge of the rock that they would have bent enough to fire out at some rate, enough to probably hurt someone. oh wait shit I live in the UK where all risk is removed sorry. According to Scottish education teachers are to take a more Holistic approach to risk assessment. FMe that's actually in a document. Wonder if I will get into trouble for taking a more Holistic approach to my RA for this weekends trial. 

  3. The best venue for trials in the world is back on for 2018. (EXCEPT IF THE FORECAST IS RAIN THEN IT WILL NOT RUN AS IT TURNS TO GREASED SLIME)

    Entries will be up on Entry Central shortly. Aaron will be running the event al on his own, so please come up on Saturday to give him a hand. I will be on a boys hols with Si NHRA drag racing here we come.

    Have fun boys and girls see you all at RND4 at Muckmedden drinking/partying will be obligatory for this weekend.

  4. On a more serious note It was a great day with good weather, a good selection of sections with Inter, Expert and Elite levels up a good bit. What was good news was the high levels of new White and Green riders coming along and enjoying themselves with a nice family atmosphere. Back to the good old days and hopefully the new riders will still keep rising as word gets around and comp trials will be on the rise again.

Killin Falls should be one for next year on the water falls in the centre of town, solid rock  in all the sections and no mud!

    Thats how we roll, expensive motor homes to self built shelters out of the under growth.

  7. Thanks to all who attended and all that officiated. Thanks to section sponsors and the HERD family for putting the trial on. Great night of food and  a wee drink on Saturday night again at the Herd family abode. Closely fought for expert class and it came down to 1 point at the end of the year.  Welcomed a lot of new faces and a  few old faces that are having fun again after seven years doing trials again. Lots of fun, smiles and banter. Thanks to all through the year that have helped and competed. See you all next year and hopefully bring you some new venues. Start saving your travel money and camping gear.

  8. HI all good people in trials land.

    Entry Form for last round of Scottish Champs on 17th September.

    Same venue as last year, but all new sections as Mark and Cal are getting a machine in to give you all more fun.

    Please can last years winners bring their end of year trophies with them so they can get awarded to this years winners.

    Please get at least entries in to me so we know numbers. See you all in a few weeks.

    Kevin
