BikeTrial Federation Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Great to see so much interest (and renewed interest from some old faces)! Blackpool has been confirmed - just need to sort out some final permits - we're looking forward to being back there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the random questions but i have never been to a comp before so just trying to suss things out, Cheers Hi, at the bottom of every entry form is a bit of information about getting accommodation or camping. Bracken Rocks has a campsite not too far awayBlackpool may be a little more difficult for camping as it's in a built up area, although loads of B&B type accommodation and there is camping available a little way out of townFort William - loads of camping, but recommend that you book in advance if possible, it gets quite full because of the World Cup.Barrow Farm, camping on site as part of RadfestHook Wood, will be camping on site (I think)Shipley Glen, camp site just up the road. Hope you can make it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddbmxdude Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Is there any way I'd be allowed to ride the sections on my unicycle? Even if I didn't compete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalopS Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Where would I stand entering on a fourplay??? Its fine as long as it has brakes! It would be cool to see some brakeless sections at radfest though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC12345678910 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Its fine as long as it has brakes! Why is this?? insurance, rules or both?? Mine has brakes so I'm fine, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Insurance I think was the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool to see some brakeless sections at radfest though Just to touch briefly on that comment lol. I do remember BrakeLess Nick Cooke left his mark on speed trial course if that counts as well as Flip on all the other stuff. Looking forward to the 1st rnd. Its not really that far away now.

CalopS Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Just to touch briefly on that comment lol. I do remember BrakeLess Nick Cooke left his mark on speed trial course if that counts as well as Flip on all the other stuff. I more meant some proper sections for the Sunday comp. It would be easier to implement at Radfest with the land been flat and artificial objects. Blue route even. I understand that it might not be plausible for insurance reasons though. I'm still looking forward to the weekend whatever. Was annoyed I couldn't make it to the last one. I might try to persuade flipp to make a team with me for the speed trial this year Anyways back on topic. Liking the look of this year. Ill hopefully make it to a few Edited January 18, 2012 by CalopS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeTrial Federation Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Any news on whether I'll be allowed to ride my unicycle? Ok, spoken to them today, they have been uncertain because of their lack of understanding HOW unicycles will do trials! I've explained the best I can and it's sounding promising. What will help the case is if he could see some unicycle trials videos. Can anyone post a few links on here which will show them? Particularly about how it's controlled.

eddbmxdude Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thats amazing Barbara, thanks! Unicycle trials is very controlled. There are no brakes but the wheel is fixed, so the wheel can't roll out of control. This is me riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
