DAVE Pye, from Great Ayton, produced an almost faultless display of trials riding to take the premier award in the second round of the Guisborough club's Saturday night summer series at Birk Brow.

Pye recorded a dab on section six and then dabbed again at the relatively easy section seven on his last lap.

Section eight was put in to take marks off the expert class and it did the job. A tight left turn after a nasty descent brought the front wheel almost to the base of a 4ft rock, which most riders struggled to get over.

Tim Peace needed a steadying dab on his first lap, as did Mark Franklin, who then rode it perfectly to record a clean on his last lap.

Pye had no such trouble. He simply wound up the revs, stuck it on the rear wheel, launched it at the step and kept it on the back wheel until the exit for three excellent cleans.

The only other rider to display a similar style and confidence on this section was young John Banks, from Guisborough, who continues to improve on every outing.

No one got close to Pye to put pressure on him, so it was left to best intermediate rider, young Dick Suffell, to post the next best score on 12, with Banks winning schoolboy A on 17.

It was a lot closer in clubman A as Terry Raw needed all his experience to hold off Robert Smith, from Fryup. Smith will certainly rue the slack one he had on section four.

John Pattinson won the B class by one mark from Alan Maynard, with section four again the culprit as Maynard lost three while Pattinson went clean.

But ride of the night must go to young Chris Raw, from Glaisdale. He only started riding recently, but rode his Sherco 80 to a one-point victory over Ashley English in the C class.
