Want To Start? Start Trials: Join a club & get an AMCA licence
Trials is a technical sport which requires the rider to ride over a “section” of very difficult land without putting their feet down, if the rider stops ‘dabs’ with their feet points are added to a final score where the lowest total is the winner. Trials are the lowest cost entry point to motorcycle sport but to reach the highest level requires immense skill.
Trials bikes are small-engined, lightweight and very manoeuvrable where a rider’s balance and machine control is key. Courses typically include vertical banks, streams, logs and other natural obstacles or man-made challenges such as concrete pipes or ramps.
Joining an AMCA Club
The AMCA has a large number of modern trials clubs spread across England and Wales including the Isle of Man and Jersey (several of which are combined with Classic Trials). Some are aimed at the Beginner or Novice while others have Expert riders who compete in regional championships.
An AMCA Licence is not required unless riders wish to compete in the main Association Championship managed by several clubs in the West Midlands. Modern Trials Licence costs £17.00 including insurance.
