What
is Motorcycle Trials?
In short, it is maximum off-road fun at an affordable cost. The
objective is to ride over rough terrain without putting your foot
and or feet on the ground and in so doing you lose penalty marks.
The winner of a trial is the person who loses the least number
of marks, which is known in trials lingo as going “clean”.
A typical trials course usually consists of ten sections, lapped
four times with each competitor being allocated four hours to
complete the course. The approximate length of a single lap is
two miles.
Who
are TRIALSTAR?
Dave Rodgers and Andy Perry, each having a wealth of experience
in many differing fields, manage the company. Dave still competes
regularly and is a former expert rider who now specialises in
the organisation and promotion of International events. Andy is
a current expert rider with four Irish titles to his name. He
is a true entertainer who can mix top results with the best display
of Trials riding in Ireland.
Both work well together, Dave taking the role of minder when Andy
competes at International events and carry this working relationship
into the training and coaching of novice and expert riders.
Why was TRIALSTAR formed?
TRIALSTAR was formed to offer the public a facility to give trials
riding a go, under expert guidance from expert riders and also
to create an awareness of an extreme sport achieved under 10mph!
Why
do we need TRIALSTAR?
The answer is simple - trials riding is the best-kept secret in
the Motorcycling World.
What
can TRIALSTAR offer me?
We have something for everyone, whether you want to learn how
to ride a motorcycle, entertain your friends and work colleagues
or planning that company open day. TRIALSTAR is a versatile company
that will help you decide which (off) road to go down.
Can
anyone become a TRIALSTAR?
Of course it is possible, but the end product is not necessarily
the best part, climbing the mountain is more satisfying than someone
lifting you onto the summit by helicopter. The good news is we
can all sit or rather stand up on a trials bike and try climbing
that mountain, a select few may do both, but either way everyone
has a chance of becoming TRIALSTAR.
