BETA 300 EVO 4T & TY250 clubman sections︱Cross Training Trials

A rider's view of all the clubman sections used in the recent Queensland Sherco Trials Championship. A Beta 300 Evo and a 1992 TY250 chase each other's tails through the sections. These sections are on the main property used by Western Districts Trials Club. Our trials training vids and written articles on observed trials techniques are thanks to the Western Districts Trials Club for their riders and expertise in putting together these trials training vids - Tom Wager, Ruben Chadwick and James Wager in particular! Your arms will be almost straight but don't lock your elbows as you will still need to steer. Use both brakes with most emphasis on the front.

It is simply you and your bike pitted against the terrain. The diabolical crew who mark out trials sections are sure to put a sharp turn right at the bottom of that steep slope! Get into these trials training vids. And did you know that trials is the world's most popular participatory motorcycle sport? Most of the time we grip the handlebars tighter than we need to, but if a downhill run is uneven it can pay to keep a good hold on the handlebars. Trials bikes are so light that a small rut or bump could rip the bars from your hands so maintain a reasonably firm grip. The back brake stabilizes the bike on the way down. The front brake provides most of the braking pow On loose terrain should be able to apply enough brake to where both wheels are just starting to lose grip - that should give you maximum braking power. It can be handy at times to lock up the rear wheel to slide the bike around if there is a turn on the slope or right at the bottom, but resist the urge to lock up the rear wheel otherwise. There are trials classes for everyone. Speed and other competitors are not factors likely to cause incidents, so the sport of trials remains very safe. Very few injuries are sustained due to the low speeds and "one at a time" use of sections by moto trials competitors. Learn to ride moto trials! In Australia about one thousand riders compete, - in Europe hundreds of thousands compete regularly. Trial riders compete in all sorts of weather conditions! Trials riding must be the best kept secret in the world of motorbikes. Having one finger always on the clutch is useful here as you can pull the clutch in if the rear wheel locks up and not stall the bike. Alternatively just pull the clutch in and don't worry about engine braking - chances are you are on a two-stroke anyway! If there is a drop off too steep to clear your bashplate (skidpan), you will need to de-weight the bike to clear it. On a steep descent you usually don't want to build up extra speed, so usually you will just release the front brake just before you reach the drop off. Your front suspension will decompress and you can pull back on the handlebars to lighten the front end enough to clear the drop off. As the descents get steeper, put some of your balancing practice into action and go as slow as possible - this will be very handy when it gets very steep.
