Recently we have collaborated with two other websites and two media organisations to enable our viewers to access interesting material, some of which has only been available in magazines by subscription.

John Hulme, Editor of both Trial Magazine and Classic Trial in the UK has generously made available articles on Yrjo Vesterinen, Gordon Farley and Eric Kitchen to name three personalities from the sport. As has Sean Lawless of Lawless Media UK – Trials Guru is very grateful for this level of support.
