Matt_Tupman Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) All confirmed dates are now up 6 rounds of quality eventsAlso the addition of the open class which i think will interest a few riders who want to compete but not on a harder route.BIU license forms and info is being sent out to all 2005 license holders tomorrow and friday www.biketrialuk.co.ukDon't be afraid to ask questions Edited January 18, 2006 by Matt_Tupman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) How do we know at this stage if we will be riding international events or not??Can we fill it in for the british license and upgrade it later if we will be riding international events??I take it the europeans come under international?EDIT: Who is going to go to Fort williams??

Rich Pearson Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Might come along to the two Devon rounds and ride the open category, or just offer to observe. Looking forward to it. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Tupman Posted January 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) Well i know a lot of rider are all reading planning to go to the worlds/europeans/koxx days yes you can upgrade to a full license.I think more people than you think will go to Fort William, i've been told by Fred Savage that there is a large group of riders up there who are dieing to ride some comps so it will give them chance to ride an event a little closer to home.Might come along to the two Devon rounds and ride the open category, or just offer to observe. Looking forward to it. RichOPEN CLASS! rich your far to good for open it would be good to see you at some of the brits though Matt Edited January 19, 2006 by Matt_Tupman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 EDIT: Who is going to go to Fort williams?? So there are actually trials riders in scotland you know....Its good for us because for most of us our nearest competition is in Yorkshire, and from abredeen where i stay thats a 6hour drive (just there).Also the test event at fort william this year was very popular. It was a good atmosphere mixed with the DH world Cup, so I have no doubt that it will be popular this year as well. Its also going to be the middle of summer so it will be warm and dry You should get up here, its well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 (edited) Sorry I didnt mean to sound anti scottish. Just its very very far away from anywhere really. I always thought the trek to yorkshire was a big one for me. Just means I wont be doing all of the rounds I guess.Good venue though, and good for people who dont usually get to do comps.Just miles away EDIT: Also it makes it very hard for people to do all of the rounds. e.g. if your close to the one in scotland then its a very long journey to the devon rounds and vice versa.

F-Stop Junkie Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Just looking at costs for the year. Yes, it's going to be expensive, but I'm lucky being in Yorkshire that a couple of the rounds should be pretty cheap!Given how much it costs to go to Devon - fuel, accomodation, pizza money - I don't think it'll be much more to go to Fort William, even flying there! Not sure how viable that is with a bike due to the measley baggage allowances internally, but even with a hire car, I expect it's going to work out only a few quid more than Devon - which we've now got twice too.That said, all the accomodation is cheaper than that around Hookwoods!Good to see new faces on the Biketrial comittee too. A bit of fresh blood is always welcome!One point, can the colour scheme on the BiketrialUK website be changed? Such dark, contrasting colours always make my eyes go a bit weird when I switch to another site/application with a light background. Good to have a central point of info though for all competition type stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you get to ride with me and whiteboy Dunno what I'll enter Matt, I might actually take a proper shot at the Brits this year. I'll catch you on MSN.

Waynio Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 6 rounds 6 differenet venues if people dont like it they dont have to do it? but to be fair its a good contrast from one end of the country to the other. so personally i see it as being very fair to anyone/everyone.if they were all in the same place it would be crap for the people who lived to far down or too far up and would be pretty appauling and biased hence why the series is held over a few rounds etc etc. nice to see 6!!!! aswell im well chuffed with that and the scottish one is the one IF any that i would sign my name to 1st. would give up ALL of my other rides JUST for fort william. THAT HOW GOOD it was last year.Waynio..........................il probably attend them all though. im really looking forward to it. 2 in devon too, wil be nice to see some new land used down there aswell as kelly farm.Back Qown i hate but its tough, im always dead when i ride there. altho there maybe a VERY interesting new venue in yorkshire NEXT year if there is 2 up here. as addingham is always a classic but i think this quarry were using tomorrow at the fun trial will be extremly good to use for a brit round.
