A fiery stage for a grand event with areas designed by specialists, Patrick Féraud and Jean Gomez, known for their skill in tracing technical and challenging zones. Giant tires, pipes, scrap metal, water, tree trunks, white rocks… An indoor inspired by nature, a feast for the eyes. The organizers are going to pull out all the stops with the lighting, sound, and also the spectacle, featuring star guest Gilles Coustellier, who has no fewer than 3 World Championship titles in Trial Biking. And of course, the Pom Pom Girls from Princess 2 Mars will be heating up the room.
Trial is the oldest all-terrain motorcycle sport. It was invented by the British in the early century. The first competition in this new discipline, the Six Days of Scotland, took place in 1909. It wasn’t until the 1950s in France that official trial competitions began to appear.
Indoor Trial is inspired by classic trial, artificially recreating the obstacles found in nature. It was in the United States in 1975 that the legendary Sammy MILLER, with over 1000 trial competition victories, launched the full-scale idea by climbing onto a Volkswagen Beetle in front of more than 20,000 people. However, it was in Spain and then in Italy a few years later that Indoor Trial really took off.
The World Indoor Trial Championship, “the world trial indoor championship” in its current form, was launched in 1993. Its first winner was Finnish, Tommi AHVALA.
The goal is simple: put your foot down as little as possible. From a perfect “0” to a “5” from a fall, the one who finishes with the fewest points wins.
