[@carlogigante5239]

Xr600r, the REAL all terrain machine!

[@deborahchesser7375]

A real beast

[@nicksmith7552]

Some very stylish dismounts there !

[@lloydbarwick4977]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Bouwentjes]

Is it possible to enter these trails as a foreigner? Looks like great fun

[@SeppiMaulwurf]

First thing someone smashes his GS 😂 And that's why those oversized things are useless if you go on real adventure travel.

[@ohshitnotanotherknob]

Love the Bantam at the end, i bet he whittles spare parts with a penknife. More of these please!

[@johnlong3214]

Why do only some bikes stop at the bottom and wait for the flag please?

[@Demjan85]

Can someone explain me why some bikes stop and then restart when riding to the top and other (usually bigger bikes) just go up the hill straight away?

[@hatchy7918]

To pass the section you must stop at bottom, and some people just do it for fun

[@Demjan85]

@@hatchy7918 thank you for clarification!

[@rogerjohnson8540]

It depends on the class entered and more specifically the tyres used. If the bike Is road biased with road tyres then the stop start is not required, but the section is still scored Trials tyres on dual purpose or dirt bikes do the stop start any foot down outside of the “box” of yellow flags will be scored as a “.dab”. Sadly I’ve never been able to get an entry in these classic events but several of my friends have done them.

[@morpheusone7755]

What is this craziness I never knew existed.

[@WiltshireByways]

It's the annual Exeter Trial, promoted by the Motor Cycling Club (MCC).

[@lockout6896]

That second guy on the adventure bike needed to stand up and keep his feet on the pegs

[@davidjary9584]

Chz

[@crm2507777]

Can anyone explain to me the categories of bikes in this trial I’ve never seen this type of competition before ?

[@WiltshireByways]

It's here: www.themotorcyclingclub.org.uk/go-trialling-with-the-mcc/vehicle-classes/

[@dave1secondago]

i reckon my old yam v80 would do that climb

[@JakeMadz]

I live near hear, how do you enter this?? Would love a crack at it!! Thankyou

[@WiltshireByways]

Have a look at the website/FB of the Motor Cycling Club.

[@Madtigertv]

Adventure bikes should be called stuck bikes. Looks fun AH

[@markholroyde9412]

@ 12.00 I thought "Oh, fk, the "heat" are here to arrest every one LOL

[@ridingwithmrP]

Do I need a ACU licence or just a day licence to do this event? thanks in advance Paul P

[@WiltshireByways]

You need an ACU trials licence, which are about £13/year.

[@ridingwithmrP]

@@WiltshireByways Thanks it use to be £11 its gone up haaaa

[@MurkysVideos]

what did we learn? that the bigger bikes have too much power and slip out, the smaller bikes have less power and do much better

[@davymac9866]

Weight is key off road

[@MarkDaleADV]

The British appreciate a plucky loser?

[@ollie6512]

When it's this next on?

[@WiltshireByways]

Not for another year - the MCC held their 92nd Exeter Trail last week.

[@pippipster6767]

1:10 Why on Earth should I help in lifting my own bike? 🤣

[@MrApex43]

Slippery when wet aaahhh great video

[@WiltshireByways]

Thanks 👍

[@davidjary9584]

Barely a fucking hill I’d get up that on me grocery bike 😂🙄😂

[@WiltshireByways]

Off you crack then son. There's a medal with your name on if you do.

[@robertcates4066]

Looks to me like real dirt bikes must stop, while the adventure type bikes with less aggressive tires keep going,

[@WiltshireByways]

Class B must stop and restart, classes C & D must ride through: www.themotorcyclingclub.org.uk/go-trialling-with-the-mcc/vehicle-classes/

[@333106]

Who brought the street bikes to a dirt hill climb? Lol

[@WiltshireByways]

All bikes must be road legal, and are handicapped by how suitable they are for climbing.

[@simonfield1266]

why doesn't him whining about the flag guy either do it himself or just shut up, every club has an armchair expert

[@michaelegan6092]

I used to do these trials, 30 years or so ago, and find that although they have far better machines, they are on average not up to the job. Sorry but it has to be said. A generation before me may well have said the same thing, and they may well have been right.

[@ollie6512]

It's more about the tyres imo

[@BRAINOUTSIDEROOM]

Very British clapping failures

[@WiltshireByways]

Applauding effort made by riders who accepted the challenge.

[@jamesholt4066]

Why do some people stop and wait for the flag and some don’t ? Also whats the entry requirements ?

[@WiltshireByways]

It all depends on the entry class. If I remember correctly, 450cc ride through. Most road legal motorcycles with trials tyres may enter. The next event is the famous Land's End Trial at Easter.
