It doesn't matter how many 'classic trials' that I watch on YT, with Bultaco's, Fantics, Majesty's and Honda TL's (my first bike was a TL125, it was a bloody heavy lump, but I loved it)..... I always think 'They aren't classics, they are the bikes I remember'. Then you realise that as a 60 year old knacker, you are talking about bikes from 40+ yrs ago!

Nice Vid 🙂 Superfast editing too!

Happy New Year from Australia., very much enjoying watching your trials vlogs

Already it's going to be a good one, right in the beginning you show TL250 😀. Thanks again, love the twin shocks and your video editing is very nice.

Great Series😊

Another great conversation!! Keep them coming. Thanks.

Love the vid

You know that I wouldn't class myself as a fan, but that's an immaculate blue Bult. Is it 1979/80?

Wow! He made that look easy!

Tough conditions! Loving the title reference to Ulverstons (probably) most famous son 😁.

Good video, and boy, that looked like a tough one!

“Eric’s a strong rider” **falls again** 😂 Perfect timing.

Phil's great video from Brookhouse Brickworks shows the venue, first used in the 1950s, at its best (or worst) depending upon one's view. It looks to have been a hard trial but to put it into context, the Expert route winner lost 25 and the last Expert rider was on 88, the best Green course rider finished on 7 with the last on 56, the best Clubman lost only 5 with the last on 86, so not horrendous scores after four laps of ten sections and a very tiring ride. No big steps, nothing nasty or dangerous, just a slippy trial.

My mate had a Blue Bult from new and it looked stunning, but I really wasn't a fan of how it rode. Give me a Montesa or Fantic of that era any day. Apologies to Bultaco fans everywhere!

I really enjoy the video. I am 73 yrs. old and live in the U.S. I bought a 1975 Suzuki RL250 and if I remember, trials were just starting to be "noticed" in the states. I still own the RL and ride trails with it, not trials. They had a National Trials event several miles from my home in 1976. This gave my cousin who owned a 1975 Honda TL250 and I an opportunity to ride a real trials course. Gave us a real appreciation of the skill needed.

great interview, and really good points. yes, trials is one of the only sports where everyone, as a person, is equal. doesn't matter who you are, what you do, how much you have in the bank, the best rider wins. doesn't even matter if you have the latest bike. i started riding in 1978, still love it, still enjoy a day with friends, still enjoy the challenge. Rappers i remember well from my schoolboy nationals in the 80's . happy days

Must say i agree with your views on man made hazards this really developed many years ago now largely starting with TV Exposure on kickstart and certainly at the time attracted some new riders but really in my view this has now so changed the sport it puts off more riders than it attracts .

legend absolute legend :)

i,ll look forward to the next time you get the kettle on cheers

Rappers, you legend! 👍👍

Nice one!

Bring back the 4ply tyres !!

❤Che tempi....

Have u got elec ignition on ur bulto

why are so many riders pumping the throttle for all it's worth ??

4 great uploads ta

👍

great upload ta

this is exactly how trials should be filmed, a good section ride after ride so a comparison can be made. Not like the f.i.m. film it one top rider on a few sections, then another rider and on a few sections and on and on, great stuff.......ta

I don’t think the rigid will be making another appearance here😂 was a great day with a friendly group!

Great footage, thank you 👍

🤔 The woman with the two children seems to be desperately wishing for a stamp from a front wheel on her face... just my 2 cents... sorry 🤐

7:14 VERY smooth - just beautiful ... and a lovely jump of joy afterwards - great!

Good footage 👍👍You captured my mate getting a Scott certificate ,he did the 3 Peaks X race as well, a rare double !

Great place to sit and catch all the drama. Thanks for the footage...memory always fades and you begin to think things are easier, but that's got to be one of my most hated sections. Never any grip.

I'm new in to trials but on these multi day rides, like the moer endurance ones, are they also getting penalty's on putting foots down? or is it timed?

Excuse my ignorance,but what triumph engine is in that 2cyl bike.we don’t have anyone riding anything like that here in the states where I ride.thats a really cool bike.

Thanks for bringing all of the action really enjoyed watching and well done to all the competitors 👏👏👏

The bottom bit seemed to be the most tricky - slithery nonsense !

Not entirely sure what I think about the new finish, I like to see them coming up the field. Nice to see a couple of new sections but there was no Underbanks this year which is a shame. Nice coverage over the 4 videos! You went to bits that I didn't. I went to Surrender and Grand Canyon and Reels Head.

Thanks for being there and for great coverage!

Top footage,Top efforts. Watched at Tank trap & Stang house myself. Great to see different sections. Also giving the nation viewing access with your filming. Onwards & Upwards 🔥👌💪😎🔥🏍️

Some of them spectators sitting a bit close to the action

Fantastic atmosphere wish I could have made it but your videos are the next best thing,,, thanks for posting

Awesome video thanks, well done to all of those taking part 👏👏👏

Great video thanks,,, looking forward to watching the other three,,, keep up the great work 👏👏👏

thanks for the great coverage wish I'd gone to watch instead of playing golf!

This was a great section and some fabulous riding skills, thanks for sharing,; Nice piece of engineering at the finish arch.

That was a brutal snicket to conquor, tyre pressures make a big difference on this type of footing.

Bike trap not tank ! Feeling their pain doing that
