Ben Swales Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm in Manchester that weekend, so won't be able to make it I'll try and make it down to the Super Trial to watch and whatnot though. Let me know if you're short of observers or anything too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I don't mean to be rude, but if that's the flyer, I think you could do a lot better. If you are wanting a good crowd of spectators then I think it would be a good idea to put a little bit more effort into the poster/flyers. I know it might not be your thing, but I'm sure someone could help you out here. Please take this as constructive, Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walker Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 It's difference Dave. And I was just trying to be constructive, I haven't quite worked out whether your reply was in jest or not, but I was trying to make a serious point. If that last post wasn't meant to be dry humour then I suggest that you should think before attempting to make enemies with any entry paying riders, as it's entries that you have struggled with in the last few years. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Dave, is the date 100% confirmed? Cos I now have a dilema! There is another comp on that weekend at Lee Quarry with Singletrack Magazine (the trials/dh and xc race) that I had been wanting to enter since last year, I REALLY want to go to both!! I would be gutted if I missed either event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty petty if you ask me, but then that doesn't really suprise me coming from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Swales Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Just noticed a typo on the poster - it says UK best riders where it should be UK's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robonatomz Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I can’t see what walkers problem is. As a poster it does everything it needs to. Tells me where it is, tells me when it is and tells me what it is! Has a good shot of some trials action, and some shots of the venue. Good effort in my opinion, to get more public interest in trials as a sport. I don’t see any other club in the uk even attempting to advertise its comps to the public, let alone making a poster. Once you have finalised the poster and got some copy’s done i would be happy to have some in the shop Dave!! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I imagine what Andy was trying to get across (correct me if i'm wrong) is that it looks like a font cover from MBUK but from 10-12 years ago, this is supposed to be the biggest trials competition in the country trying to attract both the tops riders and the general public's interest. The post is everyone's first point of interaction with the event and as such should look professional, exciting and informative. Dave's amendment doesn't really help the cause, unless it was meant in jest, which we all know is hard to put across on an internet forum. The event format and locations look awesome, really hope it works out and opens trials competition to a wider audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danny B Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Firstly I would like to thank all of those that have had a positive reply to this thread as trust me this will be a fantastic competition that myself and my family, friends and a lot of extremely large sponsors will be putting a great deal of time and effort into. This will be a competition that will have the coverage of local media as well as some of the national magazines and some TV coverage also this is why entries are limited and it will be a fantastic opportunity for any of the countries sponsored or assisted riders to appear here to promote the brands that have so kindly assisted them for the 2010 season. My family will be taking a great deal of their own time up to set this up and as I said last year that in 2010 I wanted to be involved with giving something back to the sport and the guys that participate. Because after all without riders the sport would be dead! Also because all that we have ever really known is the competition scene then the best way that we are giving back to the sport is by creating the best competitions to the highest levels, not taking anything away from any other clubs around the UK because they also do a fantastic job at keeping our very small sport afloat. But this will be a completly man made to a huge standard competiton with indoor and outdoor sections and a very special occasion so please all are welcome to submit a request to ride and we await some more of your entries with the great faith that all the entries and riders that we have will have a fantastic day and please do not be disheartened if you don't get an entry please come down and support the competition because we would be delighted to have you all and we will have a wicked day! He took my name off it. It's pretty petty if you ask me, but then that doesn't really suprise me coming from him. Ok, as for the remarks so far made by you Walker please take this as a constructive critism from another sponsored rider who has been sonsored by factories for now over a decade I am not saying I am squeeky clean because that would be crazy but I think that you may find that as a sponsored rider when you are have applied for a ride at what may be one of the best opportunities to make a better name for yourself and showcase you sponsors the best thing to do is allow the organiser to do what he likes with his promotion as it is not upto yourself. I have previously thought in the past that some of the trials promotions for different competitions have been not to my taste however they are not upto me to comment as I am there to be professional and showcase my riding and promote sponsors. Not to say that I thought that their branding wasnt to my taste. So in future please think that if you have been awarded to ride at a big event please be excited and happy that you are considered someone that is of the professional look and level to handle the competition and not someone that has a petty go at the organisers and refer to my father David as "him" to apply that you have a personal agressive problem with the man that is putting a lot of his time and effort into supplying you with a great opportunity. As i said before please take this as a positive remark as i think this is only something I thought that you could reflect on in the future as someone who may want to continue as a professional in the sport and please do not pick up on any of my typing errors as i will openly say that i am maybe not someone that has the greatest intellect when it comes to the english language and computing. Thank you for taking all that I have said on board and we all wish to see you soon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakley Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 what have i bin trying to tell you dan!!!! for like 3 years. finally people are starting to realise. thank the lord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 A positive and well worded reply Danny, thanks. I probably was a bit blunt with my first post, however, I would have preferred to see my criticism taken on board rather than the reply that I got. Again, please take this constructively, but if 'extremely big" sponsors are involved then I think it is paticularly important to get the poster looking professional. I really do appreciate all of the time that you have and will continue to sacrifice in putting together a great event, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
