Richard jersey Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi, I was just wondering if you had to have to have trials shoes when competing in the British Championships? Or can you just wear any shoes you want?Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Theres a shoe rule?Im sure ali would have worn his 661 duallys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) I find it sad that you have to where wanker boots to do a british round. you should be aloud to wear what ever you wish. Theres no rule saying you have to ride a monty for example so there shouldn't be one saying you have to wear certain shoes/clothes.

Walleee Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 f**k sake kids stop thinking and just search the internet for the answer.Officially BIU rules state that shoes must offer ankle protection.'The rider is under the obligation to wear; a helmet, long pants, shirt and one piece ankleprotective footwear. ( i.e. ankle protection & shoes must be original shoes, one piece and notmodified). Ankle must be covered both side. (inside and outside). If the rider does not obidewith these attire regulations. HE/SHE WILL BE REFUSED ENTRY INTO THECOMPETITION OR SECTIONS. Gloves and shirts with long sleeves are also advisable but notcompulsory.'Officially UCI rules do not require ankle protection.'In all trials competitions, protective headgear shall be worn during all competitions, when riding thedistances between sections and during training. Riders are obliged to opt for a helmet which meetsthe high standards, like Snell, ANSI or DIN 33954.7.4.14 Proper dress and solid shoes are required.7.4.15 The wearing of gloves is recommended.7.4.16 Provisions on advertising matter are regulated by the UCI.'That took 5 minutes. Probobly about the same time it would take to read this thread and still not have a proper answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeTrial Federation Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 The shoe rule was abandoned in the U.K. in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Do you also think it sad that you have to wear a helmet???I think uci says you have to have ankle protection.NO! thats just silly, but if they are going to have petty rules like that then why dont they have rules such as shin and knee guards, spine protectors, bars ends and so on.Glad to hear that it isnt a rule in uk now, am hopeing may be to do a british round may be.

Walleee Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 The shoe rule was abandoned in the U.K. in 2002.'We've now received confirmation from the BIU that the 6-gear rule is to remain for 2007, but may be changed in 2008. Japan has asked the UK's organisers to stay within the full BIU rules.'Full biu rules?Is it any wonder there is so much confusion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe b Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) I'm pretty sure you can wear whatever shoes you like in the British Champs, however in the World Champs there is a shoe rule whereby you can only compete if you are using shoes with ankle protection...

Waynio Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 if people can not apply rules with what they have to abide by they obviously do NOT take the sport/competition serious enough therefore is there loss.What would happen if you went to the worlds, sneaked round the ankle (shoe rule) protection and broke your ankle? there shouldnt be NO sympathy for those who obviously failed to comply to the rules.Its like scott says, if its not one thing people are moaning at its a frigging other!!!!Waynio.......................
