freeridetrials_club Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) as some of you may have noticed the decision has been made to close freeridetrials_club down for good. there are a number of factors that have lead to this decision and although i see no point in this turning into a full blown row i think it is only fair to explain the reasons for the club closing.- lack of interest from riders- lack of funding- severe difficulty in establishing a working and committed committee- too much negativity from the riders for the amount of work we had to put inoverall the work we were putting in was not appreciated by the majority of the riders and we felt we were wasting our time. i had planned to organise a big event for this summer but after thinking about the last events we ran and the competitions i have attended over the last few months i do not feel the trials scene in the UK is in a stable enough possition to bother wasting our time running events anymore.if the time comes when all the bitching has gone and the riders have all united as one to make trials in the UK a more accepted and proffesional looking sport then the club may start back up but as the situation currently stands there is too much back stabbing, bitching and alteriour motives for the sport to suceed.i am very sorry to see the club fold, as the UK's newest club and with a relatively alternative view to competitions and events i feel the club had the chance to be very successful, where we went wrong i can not be certain but i am sure it was not through a lack of trying or willingness to succeed.i hope the other clubs in the UK will be able to run effectively in the future where we were not able to but my fear is that unless the attitude of many of the riders changes the sport as a whole will find itself crippled beyond repair. what people need to appreciate is that organising competitions is a thankless task, one that we dont have to do, and if you want competitions to happen how about everyone puts in a little more effort, cuts down on the foul language, brings a friend or family member along to spectate, trys to be a bit more possitive, is honest with each other and cut out the pointless back stabbing.good luck to all the UK clubs and i hope that the closure of our club will make the riders realise that things have got to change, you know who you are - STOP RUINING OUR SPORT!*to those who have tried to help, been possitive and supportive and tried to make things work i extend my deepest thanks to you, unfortunately there were too few of us* Edited April 23, 2006 by freeridetrials_club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBProductions Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 So what or who are these people , I dont quite get why people being stuck up has effected it. ? Im not having a go just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 well we are just starting out now, so i dont know how well it will all go, but im hoping we dont have to close in a years time.it seems to be a thankless task, tom and co. put alot of effort in advertising the comps and making them cheap with a mixture of street indoor and outdoor. The comps seemed successful, but the lack of support means this decision has been reached.Many people criticise but dont aim to help,"first to slag, last to help" <--- thats the statement that sums it up me thinks (about alot of people in trials). comps are fun and allow to meet new riders. Anyway thats my tuppence Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
