International Six Day Trial Motorcycle Enduro

Thank god for the mute button. Why can't people just leave the sounds of the bikes in the video instead of overdubbing some stupid song. I was there and WIckstrand was flying and it was better listening to the bikes then listening to my iPod.

awesome vid. I love jethro tull!! they rule

[jlillie2]

Jethro Tull? Good one!!

[deaddoc]

@jlillie2 No, not JTull. No idea who, but not Jethro Tull.

[deaddoc]

@atomicsaladbowl I don't know who it is, but the overdubbed music is not Jethro Tull.

[deaddoc]

@atomicsaladbowl Ooops, the poster IDed the band as "Creed." Don't really care for such a pretentious sounding vocalist, myself.  And I agree with other posters that the bike sounds would be better. People don't really want to hear others musical obsessions forced on them.

We have the Scottish Six Day Trial in U.K. where they use Trials bikes as I described above. That's why I thought I'd clarify.

[DJB99]

Correct. I guess I was trying to make the distinction between Trials, as we know it, where riders negotiate obstacles such as, large rocks, dry riverbeds, etc. with penalty points for putting a foot down, and Enduro, where riders blast around in a motorcross fashion, with road and off-road sections, where speed is the key. Enduro riders sit down mainly, Trials riders stand up.

[deaddoc]

@DJB99 The first type is called Observed Trials. 10 sections to negotiate without dabbing. What Americans long called Enduros were closer to the ISDT, but it had tests and standards that American Enduros never did. Enduros were not races, but more like timed rallies. You had to get in on the speed average aimed at. A Hare Scrambles was an all out race cross country, like the Desert Races in SoCal. We had some in NorCal as well. Must have been elsewhere as well.

[DJB99]

This is Not Trials. It's Enduro, or Trail Riding.

[rokonron]

It's not OBSERVED Trials. It was called a Reliability Trials until it was renamed International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in 1981. Most bike are pre 81 so they use ISDT.
