Results – 2024 Keep Ya Feet Up Trial Presented By The Gawler Motorcycle Club

June 3, 2024 Filed Under: News, Trials

Last Sunday, June 2nd, the Keep Ya Feet Up Trial, presented by the Gawler MCC, returned to picturesque Tungkillo. The day started with a chilly morning but quickly turned into perfect weather for the event. Riders faced a diverse range of sections, with fans joining in to witness all the action.

Featured in the event was the ‘Gate Trial’ format, which allowed riders of all skill levels to step outside their comfort zones and tackle more challenging obstacles. A buddy system, organized by the club, provided an exceptional opportunity for beginner riders to embark on their journey in the world of trial riding.

The weekend saw a mix of non-competitive riders and seasoned competitors, creating an atmosphere filled with camaraderie and smiles that couldn’t be beat. Special thanks go to Chris Schultz and Gawler MCC for organizing such a fantastic event. Additionally, heartfelt thanks to all the event setup volunteers, officials, scorers & riders who stayed to help pack down – You all made the day such an incredible success. 

Riders are looking forward to the Troy Series Round 2 – 49th Peter Sparkes Trophy Trial, hosted by the AJS Moto Trial Club of SA on the 16th of June. Entries are currently open through Ridernet until the 11th of June, and it is sure to be a fantastic day out for young and old.

Preview – Keep Ya Feet Up Trial Returns to Tungkillo For 2024

May 30, 2024 Filed Under: News, Trials

Continuing the 2024 Trials season, the Gawler MCC is set to host an exciting day of riding for enthusiasts young and old at Tungkillo this Sunday, June 2nd, with their Keep Ya Feet Up Trial. This event promises to offer a fantastic range of sections for experienced riders while also serving as an excellent introduction for those interested in beginning their journey in the sport.

This weekend’s event will feature the ‘Gate Trial’ format. In this format, each section has four gates, with each gate worth a set number of points. Riders can choose to ride any or all gates in any order, with standard trial rules applying for crossing tracks. This setup allows beginner riders to hone their skills, while seasoned riders can take on more challenging obstacles to maximize their points. However, there’s a catch: if a rider puts a foot down at any point in the section, they score zero points for that section.

Awards will be presented per grade, but with the overall glory up for grabs, riders will be pushing themselves to achieve the highest score possible. Complementing the buddy system run by the Gawler MCC, this event is the perfect opportunity for beginners to dip their toes into the world of trials.

With 16 senior riders and 16 junior riders scheduled to compete throughout the day, along with a host of non-competitive riders, the event will showcase a great display of South Australian trial talent across all abilities. This promises to be an entertaining day of competition and camaraderie for all involved.

Event organizer and Gawler MCC Club Secretary Chris Schultz said “It’s fantastic to see the sport continue to grow with a great turnout of riders taking to the course this weekend. The club has done a great job putting together some great sections to keep riders on their toes”.

With a great day already in the forecast, make sure you plan to head out for a full day of trials riding this Sunday from 7:30 am at Tungkillo. To get to the venue, the property will be signposted from the bottom of Tungkillo Main Street, heading towards Palmer. Best of all, spectator entry is FREE, so gather the family, come walk the sections and bring a picnic lunch to settle in for a great day of South Australian trial action.

To keep up with all the information for the weekend, make sure you’re following both the Gawler Motorcycle Club & Trials South Australia Facebook pages.

Results – Keyneton MCC Commemorate The 50th Mountain Man Trial Featuring Rockhopping SA 2024 SA Women’s Cup

May 1, 2024 Filed Under: News, Trials

Last Sunday, April 28th, witnessed the commemoration and jubilation of the 50th running of the Mountain Man Trial, organised by Keyneton MCC. The event featured the Rockhopping SA 2024 SA Women’s Cup. This year’s occasion was made even more special as it marked the 16th time Keyneton MCC has hosted the event duo. The picturesque Ahrens Ponderosa at Menglers Hill provided the perfect backdrop, attracting riders not only from South Australia but also from Victoria, drawn by the promise of exceptional weather and challenging terrain. 

Riders of all abilities were greeted with a fantastic course meticulously laid out by the Keyneton MCC. The course boasted many fresh obstacles, ensuring the 59-strong field of riders remained engaged and on their toes throughout the event. Adding to the day’s festivities was the presence of former A-Grade competitor and Keyneton MCC life member, Bob Petts. Despite making the journey down from Wallaroo, Bob Petts was enthusiastic about being the special guest on the day. His pivotal role in naming the ‘Mountain Man’ Trial made him a standout figure in the history of South Australian Trials. Competitors and trial fans alike had the unique opportunity to meet and interact with a key player in shaping the legacy of South Australian Trials.

The 50th Mountain Man Trial was not just a celebration of endurance and skill but also a tribute to the rich history and community spirit that defines the sport of Trials in South Australia. As riders tackled the challenging course and spectators cheered them on, the event served as a reminder of the passion and camaraderie that unite all participants of this thrilling sport. Here’s to another 50 years of Mountain Man Trials and the enduring legacy they represent.

South Australian Trials Sports Manager Matthew Petersen said “Having Bob Petts, the man who named the Mountain Man Trial attend in person and speak at riders briefing to celebrate the 50th running of the event was really special.

 The event also incorporated the running of the Rockhopping SA 2024 SA Women’s Cup, with 13 ladies battling it out over 60 sections across the day.

 With awesome weather, a massive field of competitors including those making the trek from interstate and lots of spectators, this was a first-class event run by the Keyneton MCC team that was thoroughly enjoyed by all”.

Preview – Keyneton MCC Celebrates The 50th Mountain Man Trial, including Rockhopping SA 2024 SA Women’s Cup & Diener/Holmes Sidecar Trophy

April 26, 2024 Filed Under: News, Trials

Marking its 50th anniversary the Keyneton MCC will be bringing all the festivities of the 2024 Mountain Man Trial, including Rockhopping SA 2024 SA Women’s Cup & Diener/Holmes Sidecar Trophy this coming weekend. To make the most of the recent lack of rain, all the Trial competitions will be brought to the bottom of Menglers Hill at Ahrens Ponderosa. 

Adding to the excitement and competition level, the event will also feature Rockhopping SA 2024 South Australian Women’s Cup and the 2024 Diener/Holmes Sidecar Trophy events (all adding up to the 16th time these standout events have been hosted by Keyneton and with well over half of the events drawing interstate competitor interest, it’s a safe bet 2024 will see interstate talents add their names to the entry list. 

As 58 riders are all ready to take on an exceptional course, the 50th year is going to be one to remember. As South Australia dominates the entry list, they will be facing off with some exceptional Victorian riders making the trip over for all the celebrations. 

With Keyneton Motorcycle Club gearing up to offer competitors another standout year, a possible 48-section trip spread across 4 laps and encompassing 12 challenging sections, will keep riders of all abilities on their toes. On top of a standout course, the day will see a full lineup of classes for ‘solo ‘blokes’ (see below), plus senior and junior non-competitive classes for those just looking to have a ride!

Adding to the special commemoration of the event will see the return of many key past-generation personalities, riders and special guests, including the man instrumental in naming the ‘Mountain Man’, former A Grade competitor & former Keyneton MCC life member, Bob Petts. 

Says Bob when thinking back to 1975, “The naming of the first Mountain Man came from a perception of Richard Rake and myself that a certain gangly, bearded rough diamond of a gentleman named Geoff ‘Wack’ Barratt resembled a ‘Mountain of a Man’. There was a lot of excitement and enthusiasm surrounding this event. We were breaking new ground in a patch of new ground S.S.W. of Camel Rock.…”

Unfortunantly, ‘Wack Barratt has since passed but the club will be inviting family members and long-time friend and passenger, Laurence ‘Willie’ Williams, to attend the event as special guests of the club.

All that’s left to do is make sure you’re trackside to experience all the celebrations of this 50th-anniversary honour and witness trials talents of all ages show what they’ve got.
