As a real novice, the best advice I’ve learned, that has given me some confidence to do my first trial, has been to attend 2 or 3 trials in advance without bike. That way no pressure on you and all the time in the world to check out the signing on process, the types of sections, the challenges of the different routes, and witness how the bikes and riders are prepared, even what modes of transport are employed to get the bikes there. I already recognise faces, riders acknowledging me, and others not riding sharing their knowledge. These videos and TOAC are the grassroots stuff that echo the real life enjoyment, challenge, and friendship that trials can offer. First trial in a week or so, can’t wait.....
Brilliant advice Richard, hope your first trial goes well! May even bump into you one day.
Hi Richard, if you can send me a message or find me on facebook (Nathan smith) i would like to send the number board to you, great advice and well done on winning
It's great that you verbalize/illustrate everything you are going through and impressive you can make good content and ride at the same time.
Thanks Frank appreciated
agree with frank, great you can put out awesome footage of
beginner and clubman riders and you still get to ride. must be a full on day each time @@talesofaclubman
Best Advice. Ride only for yourself and against yourself . Dont worry that you are doing easy route as long as you enjoy it what does it matter
another good video m8ty ,another club , another venue great for people to see and explore whats available,keep up the good work catch you soon.
Cheers Tony, much appreciated
Hoping the next video is coming soon. Anxious to ride along on your next adventure!
Best advice for a first timer, that's me in infact,, At 59 years old,,, get a Dougie Lampkin Vertigo Vertical 300cc like I have just done ,, booooooom & watch this guy 💪
Fantastic bike, hope you enjoy it!
when its that muddy... everyone struggles... use 3rd in mud and chug..... and just keep going arms legs etc... when you do a trial and only get 'one ' 5... you know your getting better... love the 70's style handlebars they look good and must help. ..
As an Earl Shilton member I really enjoyed your video Nathan, although I didn’t feature ☹️
My best advice to any novice rider would be : Always go faster than you think you should
- especially when it’s muddy!
Thanks Andy, the club wasn't keen on including members so had to edit some bits out. Maybe next time !
You have a fantastic venue there!
My advice for a novice at first trial would be ask to get shown round with more experienced rider, and go at back of group and watch a few different lines and approaches. Wear a lanyard and be prepared to have the best fun on a motorbike for the least amount oh and definitely the odd chuck it at the scenery moment. All good fun!!!
Very good advice David!! The scenery moment sounds familiar 🙈
Really enjoying your video’s with a sensible down to earth approach.
I just said to my mate at his first ever trial a couple weeks ago Relax and try to enjoy it , don’t worry about the result. He promptly cleaned the first section & I 5’d it 😂!
Thanks Russ, and that's trials for you isn't it!
For someone entering their first trial. Don’t be nervous everyone had a first trial, make sure you can full lock turn on anything, have fun and prepare to learn more in one section than you did in six months practicing!
Great advice Phil 👍
Sent the video to the club page to share it with the members. 👍 Might get you a few more subscribers.
Great video. My advice would be look up and at the next obstacle. Amazing what a difference it makes.
Great advice Bradley, easy to just look at your front wheel.
Best advice for novice rider: Find an experienced rider and ride with them for the day. Learn their lines and walk the sections with them, watch them attempt obstacles, ask them to give you feedback on what you are doing right & wrong.
I couldn't agree more, there is riding a trials bike, and then riding a section. 👍
Another great upload mate, thanks 👍
Thanks Jack appreciated 🙏
Enter the comp with no fear and put no expectation on yourself in terms of a result. Just enjoy riding your bike around sections that someone has kindly marked out for you. Remove all element of competition from your mind and just enjoy it.
Great advice Tom
Another oldie trying trials for the first time, completely new to this game after 48 years of road riding, so what do we do? Where do we start? Well TOAC, is a very good place, you've explained a bit about the bikes, the technique, where to go, well last week was my first ever event, I must admit that I was very apprehensive, was my bike ok? Not too old (2000 Gasgas 250txt) was my gear ok, was I going to be laughed at? We I needn't have worried, although I'd never met any of the Walsall group they made me feel very welcome, I'd only spent 10 minutes in total on the bike before the event but decided to try the first 5 sections out of the 10 set out, each section was to be ridden 4 x, but for my first ride I ended up doing the first 5 ,3 times on the white route, with varying degrees of success, but I'm hooked, I'm never gonna be an expert, but if I get 1 less point at the next meet then that'll be a success for me, so keep doing what you do, it really is encouraging, and I'll look forward to the next episode..
Another great video, I look forward to every one of them! Thanks a bunch!
Thanks tj much appreciated 🙏
My advice for a newby is "get a number board"😂
My dont do advice is never get in someone elses bath wit your airbox 😉🛀
Nath once again cracking video and true reality in the life of a clubman 👍🏼
My best bit of advice would be.
Trials riders , what ever level, are the friendliest bunch you will ever meet. So ask for advice. Everyone including the experts were novices once,
For the novice rider, stay calm and don't take it too seriously. Nobody is laughing at you if you bin it, we've all been there.
100% Mike, I find that most people are worried of that.
Might be nice to let use no where you are going to be before the trial so some of use we can come and meet you and give some serport for all your hard work

Slow down plan ahead and just keep it fun enjoy it
Certainly, the slow riding part is super difficult to get your head around.
Hi mate, just stumbled across your channel, brilliant!
Not long picked up another bike after donkeys years not riding, I know you got your buddy with you but for someone to rock up to one of these events on your own, are they “clicky” or do you get a more relaxed atmosphere because of the nature of the sport?
Trials family best in the world rock up and someone will help yer👌☘️
I know it's a trek. But would you do a trial or a day milton buzzard mount farm. It's probably water logged at the moment but they offer a practice ground with a small annual fee.
Your videos are great! One question from me and apologies if you've already said this... How do you decide what class to sign up for? I'm thinking of signing up for a trial soon and while I'm alright pootling through the woods, I'm sure I'd get humbled very quickly by "Overclassing" myself 😅
Hi Elyk, it's a good question. Firstly thanks for the comment, it really depends on the club.
But I'd say enter the lowest route on the day, you may straight away out ride that route. But riding is only half the battle of trialing, reading flags, walking sections etc so go have fun, you never know you may go win your first trial!
Hey up Nathan, all this talk of number plates, I’m getting a bit board of it now 🥴
Nice spin on words Ben 🤣 far funnier than your brother...
Have you not been riding lately????
He's gone AWOL 😜
I have recently bought a gasgas and I know how this is a practise track aswell and that’s all I’d do but do I need a am a license as well as membership mate ?
For where is this to Ryan?
@@talesofaclubman earl shinton mate
@@ryanmurray4096 arrrr sorry, no you just join the club as a member as far as I'm aware. Don't forget to mention the page if you join 😁
The main advice I would give is make yourself known that this is your first trial, then people will gladly give advice and help ………….it’s only when your on your 40th trial and ya still crap, them same people who are now ya mates will take the piss 😂😂
Great advice Kevin, that is 100% the case 🤣
