World Trials Championship: Round 2 15th April 1995 Hawkstone Park Commentary by Woody A Bennett Video Production Like us on Facebook: / trialsportvideo
I grew up in nearby Shrewsbury. My Dad was a founder member of Salop Motor Club in the 1950's. The SMC organised the racing at Hawkstone. I wasn't around then but he & I watched a lot of Hawkstone events over the year. Mainly Moto X but trials too. The 500 cc MX World Championships were best, but I also liked the WTC events & indeed club races. I was not at this event but have been to other Hawkstone WTC's. The course was, & remains, a great test of man & machine (even 2015 bikes) whether trials or MX. In MX terms, its a truly world class venue & vastly superior to the "BMX" course of today. Access is a problem, but an even bigger problem is people locating it in Cheshire, when it is and always will be forever Shropshire! Great Video. Nothing has changed much since 1995. Thanx for posting.
You can want to twist the grip and love enduro, but Gram Jarvis started in trials, just like many of the current top enduro riders... Great place to learn the skills needed before you go twist the grip. just sayin... [And yes a great video and enduro is sweet! Have fun twisting that grip! :) ]
I LOVE the stop, hop, roll back, etc. True trials.
