schon faszinierend, ueber was man sich den Kopf zerbrechen kann, wenn man keine (anderen) Probleme hat *kopfschuettel*
Auszug aus dem SETRA Rule Book:
NOVICE - The novice classification is for the beginning trials rider. These are riders that understand the sport and are developing basic trials skills. Section challenges should allow for generous approach and recovery space. First time competitors should feel comfortable attempting all sections.
INTERMEDIATE - The Intermediate classification is for the experienced trials rider who has shown ability well above the Novice level, but is not yet ready to handle extreme terrain challenges such as those typically seen in the support class at the North American Trials Council (NATC) national championship events.
SPORTSMAN - The Sportsman classification is for riders who have successfully met the challenges of the Intermediate class and do not wish to face the bigger obstacle challenges of the Advanced class. Any rider is eligible to ride Sportsman indefinitely.
ADVANCED - The advanced classification is for riders who know and can use advanced riding techniques. Advanced riders should be able to handle competition and challenges approaching that typically seen in the support class at the NATC national championships.
EXPERT - The Expert classification is for those riders who desire to compete in more technically challenging sections while minimizing exposure to unnecessary risk. Challenges should not require spotters to make competitors feel comfortable attempting any section. Expert riders should be able to handle competition and challenges approaching that typically seen in the Expert Sportsman class at the NATC national championships.
CHAMP - The Champ class is the premier class for the top riders competing for the Comer Cup STRA Club Championship. These lines should test the skills of the elite competitors and the most advanced techniques. Level of severity should be comparable to the NATC Expert class.
