BBC1 | Junior Kick Start | 30th May 1989

The first heat of BBCtv's motorcycle trials competition for the Norwich Union
Trophy. Today's heat, from Lord Hesketh's estate in Northamptonshire, confronts six riders with a tricky, hazardous course.

I was 15 when I first watched this.
I'm 49 next week, and although it took a while, I've just bought myself my first trials bike 👍😁

Dougie Lampkin recently completed a lap of the Isle of Man TT course doing a non stop wheelie.

[@StFidjnr]

let's not forget about Graham Jarvis AKA Grimbo

[@thefog7067]

That's wheelie impressive 😁

[@jonb3311]

Graham Jarvis at nearly 50 is still competing and winning in hard enduro, at world championships. He must be nails.

Watching this got me into bikes, had my TY80 when I was 10 :)

[@Slaphead1960]

You were lucky. Great little bikes.

[@thefog7067]

I remember the time when some St Johns ambulance men went to help a young lad who'd fallen off his bike and both of 'em took a tumble as well and the commentator couldn't help laughing just made it even funnier 😄

[@Tacsmoker]

trial bikes were everywhere,
and loads steppies (some fitted with off road tyres)lol.

[@markfox1545]

Trial bikes?

So if someone is lactose intolerant you'd say they can't eat diary, presumably.

[@deepsea83]

@@markfox1545 yes, trials bikes. What do you call them?

[@aarons1811]

I haven't heard the term 'Steppie' in over 20 years! Was it blue or red? 😂

[@Aux1Dub]
