The Taunton Jubilee trial, won by a CRM this year.

I can vouch how steep the 24 section is.

Good video really enjoyed watching it.
Lately I've mainly been doing trials myself on a 1980 twinshock Fantic or modern stuff on a Gas gas.
Some of those sections looked very tight for bigger bikes.

I haven't done this trial for a couple of years, but it still seems as testing as previous years.
The rules state also that trials pattern tyres are required back +FRONT, which certainly made for some interesting manoeuvres on a cow pat infested grassy field, where I unintentionally did a full 360 Lutz , and remained upright, well for another 10 yds least ways, and on one hill actually laid the bike down on it's side voluntarily in order to try and and stop the increase in speed that the brakes weren't reducing!!!!!.
