Sunday Results Notes:

Section 24 scores have been restricted to 2 laps – As not all competitors had the opportunity to ride the section for the 3rd time - following its closure before the end of the trial. Section 19 has been left out of the results entirely. The data from Section 19 had been accidentally erased from the phone before it was downloaded. We are working very hard to identify how this has happened so we can prevent it from happening again - and we send our sincerest apologies to all affected riders.

We appreciate this scoring system is something many of you may have only seen for the first time this weekend. Overall, we are very happy with the new digital scoring system. We believe it performed very well given the very challenging conditions, especially at Knighton on the Sunday. Punch cards weren’t an option for us and if we had to rely on traditional paper/clipboard data in those conditions it’s probable they would have all been destroyed completely.

Report by John Coombes.

Bright sunshine greeted the 20 riders who had signed on for the inaugural Kickstart Trial at New Barn Farm Calbourne. Kickstart is a departure from the standard motorcycle trial format and comprises of six manmade obstacles being placed around a two-lap course of just under a mile.

Obstacles included two inverted skips, a tricky combination of oil drums, two see-saws, limbo poles, long jump, and a pallet puzzle. With steep climbs and grassy slopes too the twisty nature of the course kept riders of all abilities focussed.

The morning started with a rider briefing, followed by two practice rounds over the course, with a few riders discovering just how slippery wet grass can be. Practice concluded, a superb barbeque was then hosted by Jon and Leo Death and a birthday cake presented to Club President Wayne Brodie provided by the ever-lovely Kate Baker.

Barbeque over, matters returned to The Main Event: Two runs per entrant over the two-lap course, each run being timed with sections being observed and 20 second time penalties being added to each riders score for any foul attempt of the observed sections.

Now to make the proceedings really spicy the Club President had put up substantial prize money for the three closest times to his secret course time, which was to be set by his nominated rider Mark “Wulfy” Coombes, who in turn, also kindly donated an identical prize fund himself. This prize was to be awarded to the three quickest times over the course. The results truly demonstrated a good spread of ages and abilities, with steady consistent riding paying dividends.

Results:

Fastest on time and observation – 1st place Harrison Crickmore; 2nd place Ben Ashcroft; 3rd place Sam Jurich.

The President’s 100 - 1st place Phil Chase; 2nd place Riley Baker; 3rd place Sonny Gaskin.
