Depends how good you are regarding what class you eneter...it's best to start off low i guess

you'd probably be better off going to one to watch first, checking out how hard the routes are, then trying it yourself so you can get a rough idea of what level you're riding at relative to the other people at the events......

For a lot of them you need a membership ( annual membership @ £10 a year ) and i think it's an acu card...dont hold me on that though as im not entirely sure

......

Hope ive been of some help!

You're very welcome to come up to our competition at Addingham Moorside on 2nd December, join in and have a go.

But, for the longer term, there is a new club starting up in Norfolk - give Adam a call for more information. Details here ... www.biketrialuk.co.uk clubs page

Any events advertised on that website do not need any licences - just the entry fees (Y)

you more than capable for intermediate maybe even expert, depends on your natty skillz

beginners is literally ride over this twig, then turn left

Well actually, it's a lot harder than that to be honest.

It's like, here's in, there's out. Go. It is actually fairly technically challenging. to be honest.

cheers guys, and yea im probs better on natty then street.... if you saw where we live youd see why lol..... what level does hugh barker enter at?? i might give that a try looking at his new vid

i did do expert at ymsa (it's inbetween expert and elite at a club like essex for example) manly because i have only started riding again this year and on a bigger bike, but to be fair my vid's never ever show how good a rider i can actually be and half the stuff looks so much smaller than it is. I'm riding elite next year which is going to be ummmm interesting lol. Also remember competitions are quite different to just practicing natural, most things need to be cleaned first time everytime unless your good at saving it, also their's the fitness factor and amount of moves to do one after the other.

Give it a go but you may want to enter a different route depending on club, for example one club may set out the sections harder for each route so you would want to enter the class you are most comfy in i.e. no point in riding expert if your going to five most things so intermediate would be best but it's all what you feel comfy on. Just enter on in the class you think, better to start off smaller though.
