A trials course consists of a large number of “lines” which are specific paths to take over a set of obstacles. For example, a line might include hopping onto a box, riding across a skinny rail, then hopping to the ground. Riders compete to complete as many lines as possible in the time allotted.
There are separate categories for Beginner and Advanced. All riders share the same course. Beginners are allowed a hand on 'green' (easy) sections for a half-point. If a beginner completes a 'green' line without a hand they receive the full point. Any rider who completes a 'blue' (mid-range difficulty) section are automatically moved into advanced and only full points on 'green' lines are counted towards their total. All riders who successfully ride 100% of the 'blue' lines will automatically receive the points from all the 'green' lines, without having to ride them.
The top riders are chosen based on IUF Rulebook 12D.11 and move to the finals. These riders are the experts.
Required safety gear: shin pads, gloves, and helmet
