Payment Policy We strive to keep our prices as low as possible for as many riders as possible but due to high credit card fee's we have to charge £5 per transaction on balances. This helps keep the cost down for people paying by cash, debit card, cheque and bank transfer.
Unless paying cash on the day, all balances must be paid in full 21 days before your school date.
WE DO NOT CHARGE CREDIT CARD TRANSACTION FEES FOR DEPOSITS
If you have ever watched a motorcycle trials competition, or remember 'Kick Start' on television, you will have been amazed at people riding over logs, lifting the front wheel in the air onto an obstacle and even riding down stairs. It's all about balance and bike control (and a bit of courage!), and the good news is that you can have a go at it too! No previous trials experience is necessary, you just need the basics of operating a geared motorcycle so it is absolutely ideal for all riders, whether you are looking to get in to trials or just looking to improve you all round motorcycling skills. Of course many people take part just as a fun day out with lots of laughs along the way!
TrailWorld will supply you with everything you need for the day including the trials bike, protective clothing, fuel and professional tuition from their highly experienced instructor.
About the TrailWorld Motorcycle Trials School
The TrailWorld trials bike riding schools are a great introduction to the amazing world of hopping, jumping, balancing and generally showing your bike agility off. At the end of the day you will go away with techniques that will not only impress your friends, but will also improve your road riding skills enormously.
The Level 1 Trials Bike Riding School is aimed at the newcomer to the sport, or those just looking for a fun day out on an off-road motorcycle. We start you off with the basics of clutch, throttle and brake controls and then move on to body positioning, weighting the foot-pegs to steer and a whole host of other things that will prepare you for the challenges ahead - including popping the front wheel up using your legs as springs!
Once you have completed all of the modules there will be a mini trials competition in the afternoon where you can put together all of the skills that you have learnt throughout the day. The winner will be presented with a trophy as bragging rights and everyone will receive a certificate.
The whole day is spent with the bikes - no classrooms at TrailWorld! The emphasis is on learning in a fun, relaxed environment with plenty of banter (usually at your tutors expense!). No motorcycle licence is required and everyone over 16 is welcome to take part as long as they have a basic knowledge of operating a geared motorcycle. The bikes are suitable for everyone, male and female alike as they are very light (around 70 kilos) and low to the ground. Each participant is allocated their own trials bike for the duration of the day.
Format: Full Day Equipment Supplied: Trials Motorcycle Boots, Gloves, Knee/Elbow Guards, Open Faced Helmet. Appropriate Clothing: Customers to wear robust clothing that covers arms and legs - waterproofs in wet weather.
