Backgren Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) To stay in Elite or Masters you have to participate in at least 1 worlds round every year, or have something to prove you have been sick or injured.I do not believe that all of those master riders should be in Masters. Not many of them competed this year and not many of the rest had a valid reason to stay in Masters. I can't remember everyone, but did Akrigg and Ashton really compete this year? I know at least one of them has been injured, but the last i heard none of the UK riders have sent in the neccessary papers to stay in Masters. ....EDIT: yeah phil, the world records seem abit strange.... All records are achieved on Monty bikes, and some stuff is just not big enough. The "vertical step" records are old but shit they're massive I've seen the 20" record on video, with that german dude. The 175cm's by Ot Pi in 2000 would be cool to see... And i'm sure 175 can be beaten by someone now, 5 years later on. Vince was close but didn't make it in Czech ...

Mark W Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Ashton rode the UK round of the Worlds, so I guess that counted for him, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeTrial Federation Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 did Akrigg and Ashton really compete this year? I know at least one of them has been injured, but the last i heard none of the UK riders have sent in the neccessary papers to stay in Masters.Akrigg had a broken bone in his right wrist, documents were given to Japan. (Instead of riding he did the technical control in Britain!) Ashton & Hawyes both rode in Britain.Savage rode Elite.Also, what i heard from the BIU/EBU meeting that was held a while ago was that Andrei is seeded for Masters 2006 but since the people that arranged the meeting didn't do it proper noone knows what's going on really.BikeTrial UK has questioned Head Office about Andrei not being seeded, the reply ..."this time we will promote 2 riders from Expert for 2006. The meeting was held immediately after the final event of WBC. The main reason is, in the effective points, Burton got 38 points (one time 2 nd but the rest is below 5th) and the 1st 57 points (won twice) and the 2nd 47 points (one time second and 2 times 3rd)."

mod_rider Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Vincent riding mod next year?Don't think I've ever seen him on a mod, but hes in Elite and Master.Anyone want to explain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) Just got off the phone from speaking to a very angry Andrei basically there is no reason for him not being seeded. The BIU changed the amount of riders seeded from 3 to 2 AFTER! the last round in Japan! I can't see how this can be done Basically Andrei is speeking to a few people tomorrow to try and make some scense of it all and if they still refuse to seed him he isn't going to bother riding BIU next year and is just going to concentrate on UCI.The most anoying this is that he is £2000 in debt from going to Japan which he only did becuase he knew he had a big chance of being seeded but now thats been taken away that money spent has been for nothing!!The BIU is killing our sport!

Barbara Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 The BIU is killing our sport!Matt, as you are on the BikeTrial UK committee, perhaps it would be more beneficial to the sport to attend the meeting in January and place your vote on the appeal that I'll be making rather than having a rant on here?!

Zordon Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Vincent riding mod next year?Don't think I've ever seen him on a mod, but hes in Elite and Master.Anyone want to explain?I'm sure I sam him on some competition movie about 1,5-2 years ago. He was riding mod, probably levelboss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Evil1 Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I'm sure I sam him on some competition movie about 1,5-2 years ago. He was riding mod, probably levelboss.yeah he rode senior at the worlds in 2003( which he won by miles).The reson he's in elite and master is becauseA) he quilified through senior and expert if you qualify to elite you automatically get quilified for master.( I THINK)Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny B Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 hey guys sorry that i am a bit late into the topic but about the whole andrei being annoyed tell him tht the annoyance will wear off and tell him that he should just concentrate on the riding come back and than have a bit of fresh revenge its great.

Rich Pearson Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 UPDATE ON THE ANDREI SITUATION:From what I've heard from the man, Andrei Burton has now been seeded into the Masters category, much thanks to the efforts of the BikeTrials UK Committe (nice one Matt and Barb ).Andrei himself is in a plaster cast as his buggered ankle has finally gone. He is however in the hands of Simon Lord, the physiotherapist that got people like me and Neil T back on our feet. Andrei should be riding again by March or April, and Simon is doing absolutely everything to try and restore some strength and fitness to Andrei's quite broken body (extreme work is being done on his back, elbows, knees and ankles which are all heavily damaged after years of hard riding). Come the start of the next season, Andrei will be back on his feet, he will be stronger, fitter and tougher than he has ever been in his life and is totally stoked about bringing home a good result.Watch this space.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeTrial Federation Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Confirmation in writing has just been received from Head Office in Japan that our appeal has been agreed and ...Andrei Burton has been added to the list of World Master riders for 2006.Well done and congratulations Andrei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
