A tight one in the rocks!
This year's Jim Sandiford Memorial Trial proved to be the closest result seen on Darwen territory for a long time. Gas Gas rider Dec Bullock and course plotter Jack Spencer were so closely matched that the premier award had to be decided with the 'Furthest Clean' tie-break. In the Intermediate class there was a well-deserved win for Andy Brooksbank with Martin Jackson taking the Novice class and Will Sagar the Beginner's class.
Training Day with James Lampkin
Ten Darwin Trials Club members recently enjoyed a very successful training day with James Lampkin. The morning session was directed at less experienced members and included demonstrations and explanations of balance and control techniques, section checking and route choice. Then it was the members turn to show their skills - probably best seen in the video.
