About Moto Trials
Moto Trials is the Slowest and Cheapest form of motor Sport and this makes it a very safe and family friendly sport. The test is of skill on the use of balance, throttle control, suspension and timing so physical strength is only an advantage at the higher levels. There is no distinction between male and female for grades and parents can ride with their children or we will provide an experienced rider to help them around the course.

Training Trials
We run a number of training trials throughout the year. These training days are good fun without the pressure of competition. They cater for riders of all ages who want to improve, haven’t been out in a while or are brand new to the sport. Experienced riders are there to give advice and help with developing techniques and improving your riding. Training days will be posted on the events page.
Bibs/Number Boards
Riders are asked to fit a coloured Number board to the front of their bike or wear a coloured bib to help the observer know what grade the rider is competing in. Failure to do so will mean the riders score will not be recorded in the club championship.

Yellow - Semi-Expert/Junior A
