I might even use the helmet camera
It'll be like an episode of Last of the Summer Wine - only with two Compo's

Can't speak for the stuttering warbler Mr Gates, but personally really don't think being weighed down by trophys on the way home is going to be a problem for either of us - ever!
Turn up, have a little look at the sections, choose the class where I can actually get around without risk to life and limb, arse about and chat all the way around, then go home in one piece (without even looking at the results) has always been my plan at the few trials I've ever ridden and am sticking to it
I couldn't give a shit about the trophy hunters, they've always been there and think they always will be!

Well said Shocker, your a man after my own heart, I don't give a stuff about trophies and shit as long as I enjoy myself and have a laugh.

Wow calm down My post was directed to Micky.. not you personally
That's what it's all about boys having laugh, I'm the same when I ride.. but sadly enough people moan about people riding in a class they shouldn't already at the local trial meets, these new categories might only make it worse. Hope it doesn't

The one's that used to really piss me off where the buggers riding in a class well below thier ability, then when they came first moaned that it was too easy rather than simply move up a class and risk a lower place - persuading the organisers to toughen up sections in future!
Only my opinion, but the easy route should be just that to encourage new riders and lame old duffers alike, if it wasn't even scored I'd still ride it because if would be a different place to ride, legal and best of all someone who has a clue what they're doing lays out the sections - and it would keep the pot hunters out, as there wouldn't be any pots to hunt
Having ended a trial in casualty twice (broken finger/hand and internal bleeding in me leg via a stray footpeg ) probably due to being crap at it, don't intend even trying remotely tricky these days!

100% agree - Trial is dying out here in south wales, I've seen numbers fall dramatically just in the couple of years i've been going. They should have just beginers courses more to encourage new riders [and part timers] all those routes on the same day only confuse some people to a point where they don't go back But sadly it ain't for us to decide whats best, thats left to a gang of pissed blokes and a raise of hands in a dark pub.
Anyways you'll enjoy Neath clubs trial, they always put on a good event. This one is very nice to ride - I used to practice there. Have a good un
BTW.. Mickey what you riding in now if they've done away with 50/50?
