BikeTrial Federation Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 NEWS UPDATE.By now many of you will have received your news letter along with the Bracken Rocks event results and Blackpool event entry form. Blackpool is shaping up into something special. Hope the weather supports the decision to lay on an ice cream van!Since the news letter has been published two important events have occurred;Biketrial U.K. has taken the decision to form a new federation, to be called the “British Biketrial Federation”. Our concept of allowing competitors to compete without a licence, therefore allowing competitors to ride together regardless of whether they hold a BIU or a UCI licence has been received positively by many International competition organisers. Primarily we will be focusing on our U.K. series for 2007, but in 2008 plans are in place to offer riders looking for a no – nonsense ride at events organised overseas at interesting venues.British Cycling have authorised the British Biketrial Federation to organise and run competitions to select future team members for the 2008 UCI World Championships. A series of events will be organised in 2008, no licence will be required, only those ultimately selected and wishing to compete in the World Championships need acquire a licence.Keep an eye on our web site; we are dedicated to putting the fun back into trials.

BikeTrial Federation Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 doesnt that make you liable though?if not it sounds awesomeliable for what? Not sure I understand your point, but if you mean for insurance, our competitors insurance is deducted from the entry fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BikeTrial Federation Posted April 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 i mean like if someone breaks an ankle then tries to sue you...OK, I see where you’re coming from. In the sporting environment organisers are protected by insurance as well as competitors, there are disclaimers on entry forms that competitors sign holding safe the organisers of an event. I suppose if you took it to the N’th degree anyone can sue for anything, but every foreseeable eventuality is covered.As a matter of intertest, if you happened to break your ankle whilst competing at any trials event and decided to sue, what would, (or could), form the basis of your claim?

KOXX have responded by advertising the event on KOXX.FR, you can view the page HERE.We have received Emails in response to the poster offering to display it in many other Nations. Blackpool is easily accessible for European visitors; if some attend it could turn the trial into a true spectacle, worth watching even if you don’t intend to ride.

BikeTrial Federation Posted May 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 whens the closing date? I havnt sent my entery in yetFrom the website www.biketrialuk.co.ukIt's our policy to never refuse an entry if there's room for the rider, in this case, entries have already started coming in and we may have no option but to close the entry if too many arrive. Nearly 300 entry forms have been sent out, so if you want to ride we recommend that you return your form as soon as possible! If entry does have to close, it will be noted on here immediately so keep a watch. The form does say closing date of 6th May to help you to get a move on with it, but they were posted out later than intended - if in doubt phone 07850 505298 to check (evenings please before 9.30pm).
