These 2009 World Championships will take place between the 1st and the 9th of September in the Australian capital, Canberra, which is situated between Sydney and Melbourne. Surrounded by hills and in the middle of the bush (which sometimes means that you can see kangaroos in the city), Canberra promises to be a very memorable event indeed !

What can you tell us about the trials competition?

There are 8 locations and in each location there are 2 sections roughly so that when it comes to set the sections there 10 times mores lines through them to choose. Peter Fisch is very happy with the layout of the sections.What type of sections?
3 natural sections ( rocks and logs) 2 concrete pipe sections 1 pallet section 1 man made timber section (spools and bundles of wood)What kind of weather condition can we expect for the riders, at this time of the year?
Temperature ranges from 7 degrees to 18 degrees but if there is snow on the brindabellas the chill factor is about 3 or 4 degreesIs trials popular in Australia?
