Brooklands Museum Motorcycle Day

Dan Campling 23.08.21 Trials News

We were in action at Brooklands Museum on Sunday 15th August. A static display of bikes to try for size and plenty of leaflets and information to hand out to encourage new riders into the wonderful sport of motorcycle trials, the world’s best kept secret and safest motorcycle sport!

15 of the club’s riders attended the special day on a mixture of electric and petrol bikes, with ages ranging from 6 years old to 19. They rode tirelessly all day, giving a great display to the public without rest, the arena display had various obstacles ranging from beginner planks, see-saw, tractor tyres, and our famous pyramids.
The riding was challenging at times with a mixture of weather conditions, rain in the morning made for slippery ramps, but a sunnier afternoon soon made things better, with the children challenging themselves on bigger and new obstacles as the day went on.

The highlight for the youngsters was a special invite by Steve Castle to allow them each to ride the famous Test Hill which they did on their own motorbikes twice. I am pleased to say that all of the riders made it to the top on both rides. In fact, two of our riders became some of the youngest to complete test hill aged just 6 years old, George Camping and Reuben Keet.

Special thanks go to John Burch for inviting Surrey Youth Motorcycle Sports Trials Club to this wonderful event and for the support and encouragement from Brooklands VMCC. We, as a club would also like the thank Steve Castle and all at Brooklands museum for giving us such a warm welcome and enjoyable day. We very much look forward to being invited back to offer our support at a future Brooklands event.
