Trials Guru’s creator John Moffat said: “It has been a plan to expand Trials Guru and also pull away from reporting of events and news items for some time. What better time to effect change but on the tenth anniversary of the creation of the website.

I am indebted to the help I had received from Trials rider and enthusiast Heath Brindley, who is still hovering around in the background as a ‘consultant’ on IT issues and I cannot thank him enough for setting up the original platform in 2014.

We want enthusiasts to have a good place to come, look at photos, read our articles, learn things they didn’t know and just quietly enjoy our sport and to learn about its past and history. It has always been about that and of course there is no subscription to pay, as long as you have a portable device or PC or laptop you can enjoy the experience absolutely free anywhere in the world.

There has never been, nor will there ever be, any plans to monetise this facility, there are no charges and the website is privately funded, no income is derived from it at all. So surf TRIALS GURU TRIALS ACADEMY for absolutely nothing!”

We have come a long way since March 2014 when Trials Guru was launched on the internet as a website and also facebook.

There are many pages of features, articles and information which records the history of motorcycle trials, the riders and the events.

It is almost impossible to record everything, but we hope that people the world over like what we do.

New features will continue to be released as they become available.

Remember to use the index and search panel to find what you are looking for!

A new feature under ‘Major Events’ has been opened on Trials Guru.

Entitled ‘SSDT Archive’, it has just been opened by showcasing the front covers of the Scottish Six Days Trial programmes from 1947 until now.

There are still a few to be displayed as their images are currently being worked on, but the full set will be online for all to see shortly.

Some of the programmes appear for sale on internet auction sites from time to time and the older editions command high prices for a piece of trials history.

Have a look, there may be one that quite interests you.
