  • Biketrial event in Kysucke Nove Meste, Slovakia
    New BikeTrial components were tried at the BikeTrial competition which was placed in Kysucke Nove Mesto, Slovakia at the end of the March.
    BikeTrial games contained two typical components - the high jump and the jump over the crossbar. The innovation was in implementation of the new type of section "WHO ARRIVE FURTHERMORE?" Sections were composed from the obstructions from the lowest level to the highest. Valued was: who comes furthermore and contact of the bike or foot with the ground meant automatically the end.
    In the small category Pousin riders got over 3 - 5 obstructions, Benjamin c. 8 - 10 obstructions, Minime got over 13 - 15. It was similar to the older categories.
    The total winner was determined by summing of placing. Competition was transparent and the moderator commented individual outputs. Feedbacks from the spectators and from riders were very positive. Mr. Lubomir Janoska would recommend to work off this system and use it for all indoor events, could be used for Indoor European Championships as well.
    Mr. Lubomir Janoska would prefer it before races like SPEEDtrial because it is closer to BikeTrial (balance, accuracy, assembly, techniques) Results are published at www.toptrials.sk

  • European Cup 2005
    The first event of European Cup took place in Poprad, Slovakia on September17th. There were 63 riders from 6 countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Ukraine and United Kingdom). It was the first time when Ukraine riders came to the international event. It is very positive because BikeTrial is very popular in their country( www.uatrials.com ).
    The event was placed both on artificial and on natural sections just in the center of Poprad in the beautiful surroundings of a modern thermal spa. Even though unfavorable weather, the organizers did great work and the cup had a high level of performance. I believe that this project will be followed through it the next yearsas well with such enthusiasm and so high participation.
