  • Report from Mr.Giuliano Giualeni (Italian delegate and 2012 WBC organiser) about his trip to Japan where he took part in Asia Pacifik BikeTrial Conference as an European Ambassador

    Hello Libor,
    I am return yesterday “in one piece” at 15:00 in Italy. Daniele and Sara pick up me in airport.
    I lived a very good experience in Japan and I have bring to many people your salutation, in Municipal Touristic Office in Kyoto, to the Major of Kameoka and to all participants in competition. I am a real “Ambassador” now … ahahaha …
    I see two new important activity: Kameoka Cup and Blind BikeTrial.

    Kameoka Cup:
    KC is a “Traditional – NOT – Traditional” competition. What I mean ?
    It is a “traditional” BikeTrial competition but with many many little modification that create the perfect environment for new comers. It very strange (but very beautiful) meet 55 years old people with BikeTrial and woman with children in competition ! Very nice.
    This is possible with the little but important modification that Hiro and Mishima have create for Kameoka Cup competition formula. I think that very soon in Italy I can organize the first “Kameoka Italian Event”. Yes.
    I think also Traditional - Not - Traditional definition is a good name for this competition. Maybe We can use "TNT - BikeTrial" for start this new activity in BIU - EBU.

    Blind BikeTrial:
    VERY important activity. So important that we must use attention before public speaking of this activity. I think that other Federation like UCI can stolen us this good idea. I suggest to Hiro to write on paper the rules and send us in Europe to sign and give legal value on rules. At least on the chronology and paternity of this new Sport. It is a simple version of BikeTrial for Blind people. In BikeTrial exist the “Minder” and it is usual in BikeTrial.
    The Minder is the co-protagonist with the Rider in Blind BikeTrial. He must talk with the Rider and explain he the direction and other suggestion. I think Blind BikeTrial is a really very important activity for EBU – BIU and we can organize the first Event in Europe of this new Sport very soon to have paternity in EBU. This is the only way to give at blind people the possibility to compete with bike.
    This is the only way to give at blind people the possibility to enjoy with bike.
    In all traditional other para-olympic sport blind are on the behind of tandem. They don’t ride directly the bike. In BBT this is possible.
    BBT is also the way for BIU to have para-olympic (Official) activity.
    Very very important.


    What do you think ?

  • NEWS from DENMARK

    Hi Libor, Anna, Here a small report from Denmark, not much text but the pictures say it all :0)) In the last 3 weeks we have arranged 2 and 3 round of the Danish Championship, both rounds was fantastic, the 2 round was the official opening of the new Trial and Parkour Park in Viborg. 60 riders and a lot of public all day. The sections were perfect with a lot of precision and jumps.

    3 Round was hold in a forest with a lot of old concrete a great nature with trees and blue sky. Again a lot of riders, 55 in all but a lot of kids in young ages. Good for the future bike trial in Denmark.
    The competition was a great success, parents could not believe that their kids could do on a bike, normally they only see them on pallets behind their house.
    The sections were perfect, very technical with a lot of small stones and slippery ground before the jumps. Some spectacular jumps in group E and A.
    Jonas_in_sektion_2.jpg, 49kB
    Pictures from Mejrup Trial Club, they got a lot of young riders, mostly Monty 207 bikes.

  • BikeTrial - sport for Swedish countryside!

    Dear friends.
    Last week was arranged the world's largest camp for scouts in Sweden, a festival with nearly 50 000 people in addition to socialize and exchange experiences also treated to several performances. On one of these shows where everyone gathered as spectators showed many of our skilled trial cyclists off their tricks and skills. It was Peter Bäckgren which through cycling friends in Gothenburg got in touch with the director and creative director for the shows, and soon began to discuss how bike trial could be in appearance under the theme "Things to do in the Swedish countryside." After many emails and meetings with the ideas, they came up with a concept, bike trial should be presented before the big show really broke loose, a show that also contained the MC trial acquaintance Swedish Hampus Fardby and his Bikeshow.se.

    Peter gathered up the riders who wanted to be in the show, and planned a trip around southern Sweden with stops at various places of interest for trial riders. Much thanks to Hawkhills Club from Knäred was ten riders on two scenes for nearly an hour cycling infront of an audience that included about 50 000 people from nearly 150 countries. Hopefully this demonstration provided bike trial much exposure in the media and got many curious about the sport.

    Have a look at Nadines pictures from the week:

  • New BikeTrial Delegate in Andorra

    Dear BikeTrial Delegates,
    I would like to inform you about a change in a representation of BikeTrial in Andorra.
    Mr. Xavi Casas requested us to stop his active work in BikeTrial as delegate in Andorra. The E.B.U. thanked Xavi for a good work and support for our sport. We wish Xavi good luck and the best in the future.
    We also got a letter from Mr. Jesús Medrano Bigas, who showed interest in working as a delegate BikeTrial in Andorra. I am sending you this letter (see below), where are contact details for Mr. Medrano. The E.B.U. Committee unanimously agreed the change of delegate in Andorra.
    We wish Mr. Medrano good luck in his new position and look forward to good cooperation and development of BikeTrial in Andorra.
    Sincerely yours.
    Anna

    ***************************

    Hi Libor,

    My name is Jesus Medrano Bigas, and I will from now, in case EBU considers it as appropriate, deal with BikeTrial issues in Andorra.

    I am the father and the minder of Xus Medrano Rodrigo (www.xuslocura.com) being runner BikeTrial and I usually accompany him to competitions. He is training in Cesar Canas academy and we are participating in Catalan an Spanish championships. On 2011 we will also intend to run in Europe and the World championship if possible. Last year we were invited to the World Championship run in Vilanova de Prades, with much satisfaction.

    Our country is a very small country with a total population of about 80,000 inhabitants. My intention is to try to revive in Andorra the taste of the Biketrial and increase the current number licenses (less than 5!), especially with future promises which I will start to detect ASAP close to cycling contacts, clubs and schools. I will keep you informed. Note: I also know about UCI and I have no trouble about it; let’s be as positive as possible.

    Manage, control and resolve all matters relating to administrative issues (licenses, registrations, insurances, etc.) will be my first priority. I am already in contact with Mr. Molla, Mr. Arjona, Mr. de la Torre and their administrations. I would like to thank in advance their help and cooperation. And yours, of course!

    After being in contact with the families currently practicing this sport in Andorra (I got their agreement), I would like to propose my candidature to EBU. In case you consider it is valid, please, just let me know what would you need as documents or so.

    From my side, in case EBU agree with my delegation for Andorra, I will appreciate a formal recognition (so as to issue signing the licenses as 2011 delegate) and, if possible, a file with the original vector image of licenses format (urgent).

    Thank you for your attention.

  • Dear delegates, riders, families and those accompanying,
    The European Cup event, that was to take place on 12.3.2011 in Torradenbarra in Catalonia has been cancelled. The final decision on the cancelling of the event had, in the end, to be taken by me.

     The reasons for cancelling the event were the state of the course and also the possible results of the imperfect organisation of the event. Unfortunately the organisers were not able to organise a good level of international event due to massive rainfall, wind, low temperatures and also the fact that the event had been organised in a BikeTrial park that had been partially flooded. There was even electricity failure which would have meant processing the results manually, although there was not a sufficiently large dry space available. The tents that had been prepared were not appropriate for the organisers' work in such a strong wind. The organisers from usually warm and dry Catalonia had not counted on a wet weather scenario and although after 3 hours this morning we tried to fix a new sections, it was only a provisional solution.
    It was not certain that at least the basic standard for an international event would be achieved.

    It would be worse to take responsibility for the injury and hospitalisation of a young foreign rider after allowing the start of an irregular event than to send that rider and his team home without an event at all.

    Generally I don't like doing things, where right at the start I am unsure of at least a good result. I did not want to risk the good name of our Catalonian organisers from Torradenbarra in an unsuccessful event as well as EBU.

    I am convinced that we will return to Torradenbarra with the European Cup and that this experience will be beneficial to all in the future.

    Of course this decision will not please everyone but I am convinced that it was the right one.

    In the name of the EBU thanks to all riders, minders and families who came to Catalonia. I think that the EBU will find a way to thank them all again for their efforts and I also hope that they enjoyed their stay in beautiful Torradenbarra without the competition.

    Thanks to Angel Battle, Marius Molla, and their team for the event preparation. The Friday show on the square was very nice and everything was well prepared for a classic BikeTrial event in Catalonia - warm weather and a good show - as we had all hoped. However this time the weather and luck was against us.

    I look forward to seeing you all at the next EBU event - the European Championship 2011 in Sweden and then the 2nd round of European Cup in France and the 3rd round of European Cup in Italy.
    On a more important note at the moment our thoughts are with our Japanese BikeTrial friends!

  • Andrea Kabická competes for the title of Miss Czech Republic

    We have some interesting news for you, and that is that our Czech BikeTrial rider Andrea Kabická is taking part in the Miss Czech Republic competition where she has been chosen among the best 14 girls. The final of this competition will take place in March 2011 and we are keeping our fingers crossed for Andrea that she finishes as high as possible. We hope that, should she win the title of Miss, it won’t take up so much of her time that we won´t meet her at our events.

    Andrea, we wish you the best of luck and look forward to meet you at our BikeTrial events this year.

    SORROWFUL MESSAGE CAME FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM

    During the awarding ceremony of the Elite class by the 2nd round of the European Cup in Czech Republic last weekend, Javier Alonso was holding a flag of the United Kingdom to honour the memory of Gavin Bedford who tragically passed away a week ago. The whole audience then gave Gavin a powerful and long lasting applause for the way he lived. Gavin was an unforgettable rider with an amazing style and used to ride for the Ashton Diamondback team. Anyone who met Gavin would agree that he was a great person who will be largely missed not only in the community of BikeTrial riders.

    The European BikeTrial Union condoles Gavin´s family and all BikeTrial community in the United Kingdom.

    Here are some Gavin´s photos from the event where he was one week before his demise:

  • DEMOTION RULE OF ELITE

    As we got e-mail from EBU about this issue yesterday, here is the explanation from Hiro about it.

    Actually we issued this rule about 15 years ago. Since then, we had only one time problem with a Spanish Elite rider and there was no any problem with the other. I think this rule is already understood by riders and delegates. About the confirmation of the list of ELITE 2009, I sent the list to the delegates of the countries which hold Elite riders (Czech, France, Japan, Slovak Spain and UK) and it was accepted by them before issue it. Now less than 3 months before the WBC, we should not change anything about rules. What we can do is to make our discussion about this issue in the BIU congress in August for the next season like always. That will be no problem.

  • Letter from BIU

    Dear Libor,
    Thanks for your thoughtfulness.
    About the matter, I think it is one major reason that we could not go on with UCI.
    Actually they do not understand the difference between Cycle race and Competition of Biketrial.
    Race is racing to be the first to goal than the other and do not want to help any other competitors.
    But Biketrial competition is a sport to challenge to same difficulties one by one and when somebody fell down, the other will help the rider sometimes. And when somebody made clean, other competitors will give a big hand for the nice riding. It is very friendly. This kind thing will never happened in race.
    They cannot mix it together.

    And balance and technical sport like Biketrial, riders should start in young age than road race.

    Race is dangerous to go over the limit sometimes by heat. But we have the rules to keep limit for the kids and check system of sections.

    Our sport is new. kids are very important for our future.
    See the situation of USA, there were a lot of young riders before. But since they changed system they lost many riders and now only some old riders and a few top riders. Only 3 riders took part in a competitions even 100 spectators come to watch.

    We should find best solution but the matter is something more important than they might thinking about.

    I asked an opinion to Pere and please wait.

    Sincerely yours,
    Hiro

    Ciao Libor,
    Il giorno 22 marzo alle ore 13,30 parte l'attivita BikeTrial Italia 2009.

    Dopo il successo ottenuto al raduno open del 1° febbraio ci sentivamo in dovere di ringraziare i partecipanti genovesi ( e non solo ) svernando in riviera.

    Grazie al regolamento 2009 e viste le caratteristiche organizzative liguri ci e sembrato giusto partire con una gara meno impegnativa di una prova di Campionato Italiano e quindi destinare la manifestazione ad essere il 1° Campionato Regionale di Bike Trial.

    Il luogo di svolgimento e il Campo scuola di Trial di Scarpino.
    L’attivita e agonistica per le 4 categorie che sono Minime, Junior, Senior ed Elite e che riceveranno le maglie di Campioni Liguri. Oltre a premiare i primi 3, da ricordare che la maglia la prendera il primo arrivato, per ogni categoria delle 4 menzionate, tesserato in liguria. Le altre categorie riceveranno gadget di partecipazione.
    La tassa di iscrizione sara di 10 euro per tutti i partecipanti che si iscriveranno sul sito www.biketrialitalia.it nella apposita sezione. Chi non si iscrive potra partecipare pagando 5 euro in piu. Coloro che volessero partecipare ai percorsi promozionali e sono senza tessera dovranno aggiungere il costo della assicurazione giornaliera di 10 euro.

    Massimo Iacoponi.

  • 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

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.
