Want To Join? Classic Trials
Like Classic Scrambling, its Trials equivalent has enjoyed an explosion in popularity in recent years. Divided into similar classes the emphasis is again on Pre65 British machines with classes divided along vintage and engine capacity. As with modern trials the ‘feet-up’ nature of the sport is all about control and balance - not speed. Sections tend to be less testing due in part to the lack of manoeuvrability of the competing bikes. This is one reason why it tends to be the domain of more ‘senior’ competitors who actively compete with the bikes they grew up on. It has a very low impact on the environment and there are a large number of AMCA clubs spread across the country with an emphasis on competing during the winter months.
Joining an AMCA club…
Many of the Trials clubs also stage Classic Scrambles so membership can be obtained via this route. Most have their own ‘internal’ membership or licencing system in place for a nominal fee with entry in events undertaken ‘on the day’. For further information on your nearest club refer to the ‘Find a Club’ section of this website.
