South West Trials School 2024

A Massive Thank You To All!

Thank you to all those who took part in the 2024 South West Trials School making it probably the biggest trials training event in the country.
It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces but also lots of new faces too.

Our youngest rider was aged just six but the event was organised to cater for a range of skill levels for riders from six to sixty-five. All riders were coached by four of seven trainers and had their skills tested in four different areas of the amazing Keypitts Outdoor Adventure venue. For some riders it was the first time they had been challenged to ride in a stream for others big rocks were something new to try.

Friday finished with a display by Billy Green then there was a chance for riders and trainers alike to test their bike balancing skills outside the barn. The Devon Food Co. sold a delicious range of hot food from their van whilst there was a bar and music in the barn. Much later those with unlimited stamina could be heard Karaoke singing into the small hours.

A later start on Saturday was followed by morning and afternoon training sessions culminating in a presentation ceremony. Our Star Rider Gallery shows those riders who showed most improvement and determination over a demanding two days.
