Whys It So Difficult To Enter The Nationals!

[trialsguru]

well, basically me and my mate are desperate to ride the last british round at hook woods seeing as is the only one remotely close enough for us to get to!

but having filled out all the forms and written the cheques we have now been told we have to join a club just to ride this one comp!

all of this because the acu licence requires a club stamp/signature. this seems silly to me as all the people that organise the comps complain that no one rides them but its no wonder when theres so many pointless hurdles.

does anyone know of another way for us to enter this comp without having to join a club when theres barely any comps left to ride this half of the year

start your own 'club'? and then make a stamp from a leaf an some paint, art attack style.

hey presto your entered.

sory mate, there isnt really another way. i dont think.

it is awkward, but thats the way it goes.

and it will be fun,

Can you not do that "out of class" thing or whatever it is, where you get to ride but it won't be counted in the overall standings? If you're only doing a single round the overall standings won't matter too much, so at least you'd be able to ride? Or d'you have to have the ACU to do that too?

Just seems a pity more of these comps can't be run like the YMSAs...

it is a shame, alot more people would enter if it was easier to understand,

it is well worth entering but for people who are skint and get confused easy its a right blag!

The need to be in a club regard insurance though doesn't it? I'd imagine regardless of what your riding, expert, out of class, inter, you still need insurance.

I do agree that it's a f**kin' hassle. For me to compete, i'd have to join some club in the UK, which i'd never get the chance to use basically, unless being a member of a motorcike trials club is acceptable? even then, I don't ride moto trials, I ride bike trials.....
