Michelle and I went to the World Trials at Hawkstone Park on sunday and I must say that it was one of the best biking events that I've ever been to. Those guys are awesome in what they can do with their bikes, seeing them go up slopes which they couldn't even walk up because they were vertical - they would have needed ropes and crapmons to get up!! The precision is awesome and was summed up by hearing Martin Lampkin (Dougie's dad) telling him to move the rear wheel "one inch to the left, now that's perfect" as he prepared for a climb over a slippery root to then turn immediately left in a space slightly shorter than the bike, before another climb up a slippery rockface - awesome!! If you get the chance go and see these guys.
