My lads first year on his Oset

Neil Sturgeon has quite a few pictures up from the trial today on FB, sure your lad will be in there somewhere. Cracking day for it.

Found them thanks and our dog Rufus is the trials dog !
 
Great trial at Hutton Conyers today with Ripon club. Unfortunately he chipped a tooth on the bars in one of the sections but his riding has improved massively and finished despite the injury.

We joined Croft in the end Steve as Scarborough was just too far to travel for us. The practice area has been improved hugely apparently and it’s only 20 mins from us.
 
It should be a really good area to bring him on. You're never going to hold a world or British championship there, but thats not what you want, you just need somewhere safe to learn the basics. Good luck, and enjoy. Theres also the trials and enduro park at Catterick, Ive never been but Lee's been a few times on the enduro track and said its quite good.
 
Getting used to the petrol bike now, we’ve got trials school at Harrogate this weekend so should pick up a few tips.

Had a great time at Harrogate for the training days. Snapped his brake pedal, popped the fork seals and needs new chain and sprockets but his confidence came on loads.

Went up to the Mintex youth trial at Hurst today for a look. Absolutely amazing skills from all the competitors over the two thirty mile laps, hopefully my lad will want to do it in a couple of years when he’s old enough.
 
Some tough sections

In fairness they're probably old geezers in the boys eyes. However had it been Dougie, Bou or Dabill then you would have caught his interest.

He’s met Dougie a few times but more star struck by Guy Kendrew for some reason.
Randy was telling us he’s 60 next year, made me feel really old !
 
Been a bit quiet with a few events cancelled due to the weather but the boy came second in his class in the Ripon club championship which is great considering we missed two rounds due to holidays etc. I thought he’d be eligible to ride a 125 next year but he’ll still be too young so looking like another season on the 80 but stepping up to the bigger youth course :jibber:
