Kick Start Trials Easton Neston Park 1982 Part 1

[davidstormont1]

CLASSIC PROPPER TV DONT GET NONE OV THAT ANYMORE 

[lakepalmer]

I grew up around motor bikes. I can tell you they are a cruel mistress to tame. One day you're riding into a skip of water, another under a limbo bar at a 50th Birthday party. You could cut through traffic by riding over Austin Marina's if you liked!

[rojblake82]

Load of old crap.

[bikerjohn1111]

[georgewhedge]

LOVED this show when I was a kid.

[dagored99]

Hi was wondering if any 1 new where i could find clips of kickstart when it was held at Donington Park, as this is when my dad rode in it his name is "Peter Oakley"

[adam10185]

i have it.

[oakleyktm]

Brilliant. any chance you could upload the video clip? As me and my dad would love to see

[carbonbodyworker]

Hi mate

Hey i wonder if the beeb could release a copy as after all it was your family being filmed?

Best of luck with searching! hows dad these days?

[oakleyktm]

Good idea, i'll try and contact them.

Yh he's good thanks still doin some trials between work, running a motor cycle shop now.

[chudjackson]

im gonna get colin boniface on facebook.NOW!!

[mentlemike]

id forgot about this program. bloody brilliant.

[NameNotaNumber]

What a great show. I'm not even interested in motorbikes but I loved this as a kid, just seeing such skill at play was magic. What happy memories. They'd probably never be able to get he insurance to make anything like this again...and with 'Elf and Safety breathing down their necks....

[kingoftheging1571]

i never missed this when it was on the telly when i was i kid!they should bring it back thats what i reckon?it was magic!

[dudejb46]

im two young to have had the oportunity to watchi this on tv but im very gratful fo you uploading this cheers

[manovleedz]

Thanks for uploading, Im 14 years old, I ride Trail/Enduro bikes but I want a Yamaha TY250 'Pinkie' I believe the old trials bikes are better than the new ones.

[madbiker53]

bultaco sherpa

suzuki beamish

honda TL

some classic trials machines

[manovleedz]

My dads Got a Honda TL125

[madbiker53]

good machines i wanted one when i wos ure age the older bikes are heavier than the new ones but each to their own ride on bro

[fdosdesign]

Not a Beamish but rather a SWM ridden by Bernie.

[madbiker53]

the yellow one ;-]

[fdosdesign]

Yes the Yellow one is a SWM Possibly the Jumbo. Same colour yes, but Schrieber never rode a Beamish Suzuki.

[madbiker53]

theirs a bike name i aint heard of for a bit ;-]

[mathowlett]

Good god. I absolutely loved this program !!!!!!

[madnlooney]

god this brings back memories when being a kid watching this

[joejowers]

Thanks for putting this up its neat. I live right by where it took place. The ramp going down to the lake is still there, but most of the other jumps etc are rotten or gone now.

Cooool...

[adam10185]

most of the natural type sections are still around, went there too last year, found the ramp down to the water still there too hiding behind the bushes. place hardly changed.

[fdosdesign]

Lost count the number of times I've been in discussion with friends how it would be great to see something like this again. It would make great tv (I think!) Might even bring new blood back into the sport. Also ouldn't it be great to see the old greats like these + Vesty, Mart Lampkin etc etc do this again ON TWINSHOCKS!

[mrsteve77]

Loved the bit where he says he's a bunnyhop expert and hes failed it, Great I use to love this someone's got to be selling these on DVD. anyone know.

[JamesG777]

I'm feeling very young again. This was great.

[Rogermelly01]

oh this brings back memories. i used to love watching this when i was a youth. Even loved the computer game on the old commadore 16. Yes before the 64. The music is great, i always remember the music

[shawrovers]

lets start a bring back kick start campaign.

[misterfury]

@shawrovers Express Insurarance is campaigning a revival..saw it ion the latest acu newsletter... find the E.I website and put your mark with the others on the petition

[ekcoman]

This selfish group of people contribute nothing to local economies or the environment and are universally loathed by land owners, farmers and off road motorcycle enthusiasts. Motorcycling is a great hobby for the young, it teaches many skills and disciplines and of course IT'S GREAT FUN oh sorry I forgot, we're not allowed to have fun anymore are we Mr Brown?

[ekcoman]

Off road riding has been demonised and the good for nothing wrinkly old ramblers have decided that their rights are more important than anyone else's so they can now roam free over the countryside without being disturbed. cont...

[mistofoles]

@ekcoman Quite right. Most people (myself included) don't want to be disturbed by noisy, annoying bikes in the countryside (or on housing estates for that matter). And apart from anything else, it's illegal to ride off-road bikes in public areas.

[ekcoman]

The government has killed motorcycle sport in this country. Farmers loose their subsidies if they hire out land for motor sports (it's ok for car boot sales though). continued...

[footballisrubbish]

if they can bring utter crap back like mr and mrs and endless series of family bloody fortunes then why cant they bring this back i think it'd make great early saturday evening viewing

[playa3sixT]

Well said, i was only saying to a friend of mine the other day they should bring back KICK START & BMX BEAT, & i also agree football is rubbish!

[GGRetroRally]

remember watching this when i was a kid. Can you image what Health and Safety would say now adays if it were on prime time TV :-(

[abarthturbo]

Fucking fantastic!!!

[leeblanchard]

you cant do this nowadays as the rozzers take your bike off you,should set up places where kids can ride,thats why kids wander about the streets because kids wrapped up in cotton wool by the nanny state

[nik250]

Lets put a petition in for re doin kick dtart...stop kids stabbin each other!!!!or runnin young uns over in the park!!!!

[kennyfromthestags]

Quite simply the best programme from my childhood. Thanks!!

[81runFROMwhat]

this brings back memories! thanks for posting, i used to watch this every sunday morning.

I could watch that intro forever

[visdda]

My last comment should of been a reply to mistaben2k, but I'm stoned.

[DordogneAnglais]

A few years ago, I wrote to Channel 5 to ask them to make Kickstart again (when they were obviously bereft of ideas) but alas they ignored me. Nag the BBC to put reruns on BBC3! It'd make a big change from cooking, houses and antiques all the time. Even non-bike fans liked Kickstart. Thanks Mouldytone!

[hanjannah]

I would also love to get these on dvd - if anyone can help please email me - i could trade or whatever

[liljitjit]

Best tv ever remember when duggie was a lad ! bring it back beats ant and dec on every bloody channel !Top work mouldytone do you have copies of said dvds ? Id be interseted.

[mistaben2k]

It was often a cruel form of entertainment watching kids usually injure themselves on motorbikes but I loved it, bring it back!

[visdda]

Oh yes, missing twin.

:]

[Pitythefools]

haha classic tv....some obstacles were so random in this programme; like when they had to go up the back of a pickup truck, then back down :S

[capricious71]

Used to be a Commodore 64 game that I used to play.

I really liked this programme and they should bring it back!

[mommahayes]

loved this prog, always watched it-bring it back!!

[skyway73]

Good work Mr Mouldytone! Ahh, memories....

As for the quality I think it's fine, I've certainly seen much worse on the 'tube.

[County18831883]

Thanks for this.... :)

[L1nders]

I've been looking for proper clips of this for sooooo long - really enjoyed watching these... thanks!

[starfrostchile]

great post. All the obstacles came flooding back. Classic TV well done Pervis. Im looking some "one man and his dog" ??
