[QUOTE="TVRider, post: 651844, member: 36242"] I haven't done very many modern events and I'm no expert at the rules so someone correct me if I misspeak: In modern trials you can stop with a foot down or on an obstacle and not receive a '5'. I believe you can also lean a wheel against a tree or rock and use it to maintain balance before going on and not receive a '5'. In vintage trials, once you lose forward momentum and have a foot down, you're done, that's a '5'. You also cannot cross you own line or go backwards or again, '5'. For instance, at a modern event in June a kid riding the Sportsman class (way better than me!) jumped up on a table top, in a man-made section, that was may be four feet high. He got stuck on his skid plate half way up and was standing on the table top with the rear wheel spinning against the edge. I was thinking "that's a 5", but several others watching encouraged him to get his arms under the bars and muscle the bike up on the table top. He did after about one full minute or more, completed the rest of the section and received a '3'. That's the biggest scoring difference that I have seen. I hope that helps, again, if I got it wrong someone correct me. Tom [/QUOTE]
