Lovely old British film, commentated by Stuart Hall

I remember the Trial,organised by the Wetherby Club.... but never seen the film

The Trial was the first of its kind, a ride for a win and prizemoney with no Championship points at stake, it was sponsored by Allan Jefferies Motorcycles (so something for the BMW fans:D)

The best of the best won the Trial that day, in a entry of the World's top riders, including some roadrace & TT stars

All my childhood heroes were riding and it's a lovely piece of footage

1975 World Champion, Mart Lampkin won from the front....................some had travelled 1000's of miles, he'd only trundled up the Moors 20 miles from home:clap

25 mins of classic twinshock trials action

Excellent some great riders, stereo typing, and bobble hats :D
 
Top stuff

Poor old Don Smith, what did he do to deserve that ribbing.

Lampkin won on 70 odd, now that was a tough trial.
 
Discovered Part 2.................(although some bits are repeated)
