The first round of the National BikeTrial Championship 2010 was held at Bukit Gombak Nature Reserve, also know as Xiao Guiling. For 2010 there will be only 2 round of National BikeTrial Championship with only 2 categories, Junior and Senior. This was due to the fact that when we ended National Championship last year, we receive many request of re-categorization of the Elites and Seniors. As the level of the top riders of each category is of great difference to the mid and low level riders of the same category. So, at the end of 2010, BikeTrial Singapore will decide to promote top riders from Senior to Elite, and the rest to remain in Senior and Junior.

Here’s our Senior champion of the day, Kaden low, he has been riding BikeTrial More then 10 years now. But his passion and dedication never dies! He recently just set a new Step jump record for Singapore at 149cm!

Next up we have the runner up of Senior , Benjamin Loh. Newly released from army and busy adapting to his working life, he made sure he fought hard to regain the championship title from 2009! Round 2 will be exciting to watch these two riders go head to head again!

Following close behind is Matthew Tan, finish 3rd despite recent recoveries from his illness, and still with a hint of flu during the competition, this didn’t stop him from fighting hard against Kaden and Benjamin. Talk about fighting spirit and giving the top riders a run for their money!

Next we also have the junior riders Andrea Lim, currently busy training to be a profession in the culinary industry, working his bike as well as his knifes and woks! but here in the picture, calculating to make sure he does not make mistake at this critical part of the section!

Another rider worth mentioning will be Joshua Weng, coming back to the BikeTrial Scene after taking a break without competition, he back to the field with a new trend. A 24″ Inspired 4 play street/trial bike. Using his basic techniques and 24″ street styles, he came in first in the Junior category! Will we be seeing more of the 24″ bikes in competition?

The winners of Senior
1st place Kaden Low
2nd place Benjamin loh
3rd place Matthew Tan

The winners of Junior

As you can see, we all come from different work groups in this busy society today. But when its time for a National Championship, we get together and put up a competition, a good show, and have a good time! How about a group photo!

Coast 2 Coast is a unique series of 4 quarterly events organised by AX Sports to showcase the various outdoor sports that can take place across the Coastal Parks in Singapore.

The public will be able to participate in free sports tryouts from: Archery, BikeTrial, Bossball, Combat Skirmish, Floorball, Inline Skating, I-Bounce, Jumping Jacks, Kite Flying, LaserClay, Pedal Go-Kart, Street Surfing, Whizzstack, Ultimate Frisbee and ZOVB.

Since this 2nd installment of Coast 2 Coast is held at the Xtreme Skate Park, AX Sports has included 3 special competitive categories to highlight this event! They are: Speed Dual BikeTrial, Quad-Cross, and MTB Park.

BikeTrial Singapore will be setting up a booth at the event and we will have some trial bikes for everyone to have a go on. So come on down and support us!

The Competitive Categories:

Speed Dual BikeTrial
‘’BikeTrial on steroids is what this is.’’

2 riders compete against each other head to head on a technical trials-style course, the first rider who crosses the finish line, wins. Qualifying is done by timing every rider on how fast he or she completes the course individually. The top 16 riders are then qualified for the main event. After which, the fastest rider will be paired with the slowest rider, to create a knock-out system that will determine the top 3 positions at the end of the dual. As this is ‘BikeTrial on steroids’, every time a rider puts a foot onto the ground, a 1 second penalty will be added upon his timing.

Quad-Cross
‘’Four Cross, minus the dirt, in the skatepark.’’

4 riders race on a marked course around the skatepark, simply trying to cross the finish line first. All riders will go for 1 individually timed run on the course to determine their qualifying position. They will then be placed into groups of 4. These groups will consist of a faster rider, a slower rider, and 2 riders with average timings. They will race against each other in elimination rounds until the top 3 positions are determined.

MTB Park
‘’A park competition for those who like their wheels a little larger.’’

Riders compete in a jam format to impress the judges with their tricks and flow in the skatepark. In the qualifying, riders will each have a 60 second run. They will be judged based on: ‘flow & speed’, ‘difficulty’, ‘originality (trick and lines)’, ‘variety (tricks and lines)’ and execution. So remember guys, it is not all about who can do the best trick because everything counts. After which, the top 10 riders will proceed on to do 2, 60 second runs. Their positions will then be determined by taking the best score of their 2 runs.
