It's the first round of the British Champs on Sunday 19th March up at Addingham Moorside - it's ok, the snow's almost gone!

For information:-

  • Signing on is from 8.30am (not the usual 9.30am)
  • Trial starts at 10.00am (not the usual 11.00am)
  • Food van will be there from 8.00am.

  • Entry closing date has been extended until 6.00pm on Friday because of licence delays - if your licence hasn't arrived, send your entry anyway with "applied for" in the appropriate place (we have ways and means of checking!)

  • PRE-ENTRY ONLY - we cannot accept entries on the day!

  • Entry to the venue is FREE for specators

  • We need just 3 more observers for the day - observers will be provided with hot drinks throughout the day, plus lunch while they're working - and a "thank you" present. If you're over 14, know the rules and want to help - give me a call on 07850 505298.

To enter the British Championships you need:-

Sunday's entry form here.

Hope to see you all there!

just got back - didn't ride because i was minding for tom oliver all day, first time i've done minding and had a great day. got shit loads of pics but unfortunately no video because i only had a camera not a videocam.

a huge thank you to EVERYONE who made it such a great day, everyone seemed to be getting on well, a few snyde comments here and there but in general everyone seemed friendly and up for a good day. got home and instantly went out for the most hardcore rip on my bike i've had in a long time, so being up there all day with no bike obviously did some good!

barbara - i'll grab my cam bag when i can, cheers for keeping it safe, tom oliver - you did me proud boyo, see you soon, ian - cheers for the invite and the lift home, ALI C - cheers for dinner last night and the spare bed, dorothy - cheers for the breakfast and sarnies, they were a life saver half way through the day!

anyone i've missed sorry but the bike is calling so my minds not on the job.

cheers for a great day, see y'all soon i hope

I have to say that was the best British round I’ve ever been to. I was amazed at the atmosphere. It was fantastic. Well done to the organizers and riders and minders and sheep and rabbits. Everyone’s attitudes was for me impeccable, however I’m sure the rabbit was speeding. it was well weird seeing it appear out of the section. I do have however 2 complaints, (there's always 1 moaning old git) i was told there was NO SNOW. There was! I definitely saw some little bits! And my section has completely shagged me out, long down hill section (9) up and down like a pro's knickers I was. For the people who lay out sections.... nice circular ones are good :-:-

Well done one and all

I had a great day

Many thanks :D

I agree.

I think the sections werent thought out very well.

There is so much scope there that the "practise" sections (sections 9, 10, 1 and 2) down the bottom shouldnt need to be used in the comp (def not for red/yellow routes)

I remember going to a british comp there a few years back when those sections were bule/white only. ie there were two lots of sections set out.

I also noticed that the entry wasnt that big! Maybe people were put off by the high entry costs? Who knows.

Well done to all those who podium'd, an good luck to everyone for round 2. I'm looking forward to Kelly Farm

not a bad trial but could have been better if they used more rocks and less grass and being at addingham they weren't short of rocks lol :P

you want to be thankful that the bracken was dead or you wouldn't have seen the rocks at all :P

think barrys covered it pretty much, the sections were to easy for a british round, asmost to easy.

ever comp i have been to has ad 1 or 2 sections that when i think back to all the stupid mistakes i made i know i needed to use a dab on them to get out of.

yesterday i was totaling up what i think i should have got it was 0

but what do i know i cant even clean what i consider to be easy

was a great fun, which is why i ride trials

thanks for all the time spent setting it up (Y)

people obviosly made mistakes though didnt they????

that says to me the sections were ok???? everyone dropped marks, to my knowledge no one finished on "0"????

Waynio.............................

i thought the sections were fun and the hard bits were the bits that i took one of two ways, take a chance with or play them safe, and i literally went for them all, i tried most of it.

dont think any one cleaned every section but with the level of talent there should have been, just shows how people tend to play safe and dab to get out of the section rather than try and ride it like which is how i think it should be

thats how i rode them. as i either cleaned the section or 5'ed the section

but all in all i must express how much fun i had on the day and many thanks again to the people who spent there spare time setting up a trial for us to ride (Y)(Y)(Y)
