Have a good trial this weekend lads I will truely miss it...............anyhow I am off to the beach now to think about taking up kite surfing, I have asked if old men can do it and it seems as though i will be young enough to take part, watch out for me on extreme sports............you never know eh. JP

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, can't wait for this one its my fave, Pitty i am working this weekend............ JP

Yo groovers we are here and set up on the net at last. Rob is doing good, we brought his bike on the plane, he goes down to the local skate park and hangs out with some bmxers, I have no bikes as yet as they havn't landed yet so no riding for me. We have been very very busy so not found a place to ride natty yet. I have only just got the net up and running. Have i missed owt worth knowing about, any good comps I have missed, anyone taring chunks out of anyone. take care all, and see you all soon when we get out riding here. P.S. shit me it is hot 30deg every day and it is not even high summer yet!!!!!!!!!!! JP

Hi every one, just a little update We are sat in Singapore airport at the moment waiting to fly to Brisbane, guess what it is raining but fkuc me it hot !!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy the rain and putting your clocks back groovers. JP x

Dave it is not just you who has suffered this year, I think entries on the whole have been down accross the board. All of the YMSA events we have attended have been good comps, maybee a little "elitist" for some, I know I wouldn't be comfortable making a tit of myself like I normally do at a YMSA comp. Some of the ideas you have mentioned above have worked for us at Tykes and Nationl comps, so why not give em go next year, try a team trial like the one we hold at Brimham Rocks, it is a great way of getting dads, mums, brothers, and sisters riding bikes and it also lets the little ones ride in the same team as some of their idols and it really brings the confidence out in them. I hope that people do attend your series next year and it all works out for you, trials is struggleing at the minute and needs all the support it can get. Keep up the good work Dave. John

I here that Stannah stair lifts are looking to sponsor some riders for 09. Good luck with that buddy

I Feel as though an explanation is needed regarding the ROCK and Shipley Glen rules, as to some of you it must sound like some strange northern sexual thing that we get up to on long summer evenings. The rock is a yes you've guessed it a large rock up Shipley Glen that Neil, Mark and myself have been running into and trying to scale for about 2 years now. It usually ends up with our shirts off and lots of swearing and cursing and on many occasions it has been dark for our "1 last try for the road". It has been done by countless people over the years and even Waynio did it on a Monty 205 with 18" wheels, so it's not that big really. Any way after many many attempts it has finally been done by one of us and again you guessed it......it wasn't bloody me and here is the proof. Not the best picture but i was trying to push him off. Well done Neil you are a legend. JP

Bloody hell Ash I'm not gonna die I'm only off to OZ, Seriously though Thanks to you all for the good wishes. JP

We have just got back from the last Biketrial Federation round at Shipley Glen......The trial in itself was a tough one to say the least, hence finishing third, but it was a thoroughly enjoyable day with fantastic weather and more than that the most sincere and fantastic people I could ever hope to meet. If you don't have a clue what I am harping on about, it was both mine and Robbie's last event in the UK as we are off to Australia on the 21st of October. Trials has played a mahoosive part in our lives since Robbie reached 6 years old. Since then we have been up, down round and round and met some absolutely amazing families and individuals along the way. I think it was brought home to us as a family today at the presentation when I recieved a plaque saying "2008 Over Thirties Champion and good luck "down under"". I found it extremly humbling stood next to my two bezzy mates (Mark Smith a.k.a Miff and Neil Rave'on) on the podium trying to put into words how much I appreciate the friendships we have made through the sport. I had just about managed to compose myself when all of us, Tara a.k.a. Mrs P, Boo a.k.a rebecca and Rob who you all know and I were asked as a family to stand on the podium to recieve the best award that I could have immagined from a group of true friends . If you were there I am sorrry that I was unable to speak as I was overcome by emotion. I sometimes don't see some of these people from one trial to the next, however the friendships we have forged as a familly has been truely amazing. I would like to say a huge thanks to all the commitee at Tykes, the Biketrial Federation you know who you all are( Mick, fred and Barbara and George, Neil the Rave Rav ON and many others I can't spell). I would also like to say thanks to Waynio from Airevalley for helping with Robbie and bike fixing shizzle. Steve from Heatsink for the excellent stoppers over the years. Fred Savage for noticing Robbie at Hook woods 3 or 4 years ago, I remember your exact words Fred. Both Robbie and I are so very greatfull for all of the help and support over the last few years and it has been an honour to be a part of NSE. I hope that Tykes and Biketrial Federation can keep on growing and going from strength to strength I will be keeping my eye on you all and coming back from time to time to whoop some over thirties ass. Well done Robbie Thanks to you all, it's been a real blast. John, Tara, Robbie and Boo. x P.S. Mick if you ever come out to see us we will go and do some propper off roading I here the sand is better than Blackpool.

Loking forward to our last British event and the "ROCK" See you there. JP.

37 and still competeing and going strong JP

Diesel oil is fine, it gives a lighter feel which can only be good for a little kid. I am not sure if it damages owt, but we have run it in various bikes of Robbies for years now with no ill side effects at all. My ten penneth. JP

Is Jack the only one who went???? What about all the others, COME ON UK Biketrial keep us informed John

We are very lucky indeed. That is the renowned Addingham moorside in sunny Silsden. Doug Lampkins stomping ground. 5 mins away. Keep it up and bugger them young uns, They don't seem to have as much fun as me when I am riding, far to seriouse for me. JP

Nice one lads, glad to see that me and Rave"on" aren't the only other silly old gits on here doing ourselves long lasting damage. You actually make me feel youthfull at 38. We did a demo yesterday at Malham and I can hardly walk today, however a couple of Stellas help to ease the pain. Keep it up lads maybe we will some day meet up and wobble in style. Here is one of me making it look very tough indeedy. :$ John.

Where is Floss ?

This thread should be moved to news I think, as it doesn't stand out. Just an observation. JP

It was an honour to be part of the Bunny hop for Ben and his familly. Rest in piece little dude, you will be saddly missed. John Tara Robbie and Rebecca Peacock. x

After the trial B. I can't let Rave "ON" beat me. The X lite sounds good to me. Thanks. John.

Now that is one we can't miss out on as it will definitely be our last trial in the UK. I have one little problem though........ Both Robbie and my bikes will be on there way down under. This is a plea from us both, will some one be able to lend us a 26" and a decent 20" for the comp PLEASE. :$ Can't wait, it will be a sad day for us but a great trial no doubt. See you all there. John and Rob.

John Peacock OAP's class Robbie Peacock We are doing well with all other aspects of cycling so why not trials. FULL SUPPORT fom us JP

They are great little trials, you will be made to feel very welcome indeed if the last one we did is anything to go by. They are a little easy but well worth a day out. We might come and have a bash round. John.

Just watched the video, looks like a chilled out ride. Where abouts in OZ was it looks like a good place to hang out and ride. I will be looking for a spot like that to ride very soon. JP
