Welcome to the South Coast Bike Trial help center. We have pulled some of the most frequently asked questions from our customers and compiled them all into one place. Should you have any other questions that we may have missed, don’t hesitate to reach out.
How old do you have to be to take part in a competition?
There is no minimum age for competitions, it is at the parents discretion, although, we ask that riders are able to competently ride a bike and understand the rules.
Also no maximum age either, just make sure you ride within your ability.
But what if I am not good enough to ride competitions?
This is one we hear a lot, you can always select a route that suits your ability level.
If you can ride a bike, you can do this!
DO I NEED A LICENSE TO COMPETE?
Nope, you dont need a license, just head over to FXN to buy a ticket and you are in!
DO I NEED A SPECIFIC BIKE?
You can compete on any bike providing that it is safe and has two working brakes, but please note that it is the riders responsibility to ensure their bike is safe.
Observers have the right to disqualify riders for riding unsafe bikes, if you are unsure please check our rules page.
Also on the day you can ask the guys at FXN to check the bike over for your piece of mind.
HOW DO I REMEMBER THE ROUTE?
Before riding a section you are allowed to walk the route, you can walk the route as many time as you like before riding it.
Just remember to be courteous and do not get in the way of riders who are riding the section.
If the observer asks you to clear the section, you must exit the section as quickly as possible using the shortest route, however, do not put yourselves at risk doing so.
