grantham Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Heres a video of the 1983 european championships, really old school, before most people on this forum were even born! features people like thiery girard and Jordi Tarres. Music is a bit pants but cool to watch some of the dodgy riding techniques used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgieporgie Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 That was cool. If they were brought into today they would almost be considered begginer riders with really good balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB1 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thats a great find, amazing how far the sport has come sinse then. Love the slow mo' bit of going up the car bonnet. Good to see a few guys there that went on to be world class moto trials riders. Jordi Tarres, Amaos Bilbao and Thierry Girard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cai Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Were these guys 'professionals' ? The sports definatly come along way in 25 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks for that! Exactly that somebody had footage of this stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Midget Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 didnt realise video cameras existed in the stone age blimy thats an old one. 83's proffesional level is our days local white route. really goes to show the progression in the sport. i think that was actually more interesting to watch than all this 'TGS' crap that gets produced nowadays.
