LEVEL 3 & 4: INTERMEDIATE
In order for you to get maximum enjoyment from your day, you need to accurately choose your ability level. Motorcycle trials is a completely different skill to all other forms of motorcycling. We have found that experience of other motorcycle disciplines does not automatically transfer into trials riding ability.
This Level 3: Intermediate experience day is suitable for riders who have ridden on or off-road, with some trials riding experience. This level will build on your previous motorcycle and trials riding experience to help improve your skill and technique.
Our Level 4: Intermediate experience days are suitable for riders with established trials experience. This level will build on your previous motorcycle and trials riding experience to help improve your skill and technique.
A typical day runs 9.30am-2.30pm with an hours lunch break. Bike hire and riding gear (boots, helmet, gloves, trials pants and a jersey*) are included, as well as full tuition and a hot homemade lunch.
Intermediate riders will have a choice between riding a petrol or electric bike. Ride the latest technology with a choice of 2 full sized adults electric bikes – one has a clutch the same as a petrol bike and the other has a PRB (Progressive Regenerative Brake) which is best suited to those with a mountain biking background. Or, we have a selection of petrol Beta Evo and Montesa Cota bikes to choose from.
Training will start off on flattish ground doing ‘figures of 8’ to make sure everyone is happy on their bikes. Your instructor will mark out sections using coloured flags. As the day progresses, so will your skills! Each day is tailored dynamically to the ability of the group.
(*the available trials clothing is up to a maximum size of: Jersey :46″ chest, Pants: 40″ waist, Boots: EU50 and Helmet: 63cm circumference).
40 years riding road bikes, what an experience, had to start from scratch and learn a whole new skill set & riding style. Great tuition & encouragement from the trainers. Fantastic set up, couldn’t fault anything. Bikes were like new, trails daunting at first, but we all grew in confidence & embraced the challenges. Also a quick mention to the catering, nice hearty pasta & cake to keep us fuelled.

Absolutely fantastic day. The most fun I've had on a motorbike for years and all done by great instructors who pitched the levels exactly right. Very friendly staff in all areas and great food provided. I would highly recommend inch perfect trials and will definitely be going back to do it all again soon.

After not riding trials for 25 years, this looked a very reasonably priced experience to see if there were any skills left. A mate and I turned up to be greeted by eager staff, impressive premises and 100 acres of trials playground. After kitting up and being given our bikes, we started with some easy sections to get a feel for the bikes and our skill levels. As the day went on we were riding rocky streams, banks, logs & roots before finishing up in their man-made trials park. Lunch was included (Moroccan chicken, rice and garlic bread with homemade rocky road for pudding-perfect for the changeable conditions!) along with hot and cold drinks. All the staff were super helpful and friendly. Our instructor was John who had a wealth of knowledge and patience by the shovel load. An excellent day for beginners or the more experienced. I would highly recommend.

The team at Inch Perfect trials are superb. Nothing is too much trouble and they go out of their way to make you feel welcome. My instructor, Tom, is great. Really explaining things well and tailoring the coaching to each individual’s needs. Progressively increasing the challenges through the session. I had a great time and learnt a lot. I highly recommend Inch Perfect trials.

First foray out on my trials bike since lockdown ended. I haven't been here before, and didn't actually know about it until a few weeks ago - February 2021. But what a discovery. Stunning location, utterly professional operation, fantastic support and coaching from the staff and instructors, and when, of course, my bike decided to stop an hour from the session end, they leapt into action and found me one of theirs to see me through. If you're into riding off road, go there. If you have never ridden off road, go there. The completely inexperienced riders were coached into riding as well as they needed within an hour, and the experienced riders, me included, learnt some new approaches and were helped out of some bad habits. Just brilliant.
