Biu European Cup- France

[Scotty Evil1]

Bonjour all

Thought I'd put a quick write up to tell yout that the 2nd round of the biu european cup was held yesterday in france.

It was a beautifull venue. It was a park/bmx racing training/trials park based around at big lake.

The sections were all man made, or at least modifed in some way. Some even going into the lake itself ( motorbike trials fans, think of the cahors urban trial)

The event had a lot of sponsors and was really well put on, lots of trade stands around and they had a commentator following the riders around, he kept finding me just as i was starting a section, the novelty of him shouting my name out wore off! - but it was cool!

In poussin our own Adam morewood dominated again, finishing the trial on 3 (1st lap of 0 and 2nd lap wth a 3 lost) - So, so far hes leading the euro cup series and is european champion!

He progessing at a scary rate and is really on top form!

I was riidng elite and had a really enjoyable day, the sections were either easy or hard, nothing in the middle, which ment a couple of silly 5's ( like i had, going wrong way through markers, falling on last part of section) would cost you. I ended up 6th, but happy with how i was riidng and am now really motivated for the next few events. There was also a section built onto one of the bmx tracks, table tops with huge logs on, first log was 6ft above the take off, i finsihed the section without a chain, so i think that was my ride of the day!

So, big well done to adam and hopefully see some of you at other events this year!

Yeah was a great event Scott.

Had a good run home - 16 hours from the venue to home.

Says on Tribalzine there was 5000 spectators during the day.

Certainly felt like there was a lot of people when the commentator shoved the microphone in my face as I was calling out your time on the big pipe section.

Roll on the next Euro trial in Italy.
