Protect our venues

No land = no trials.

Do not ride or practise on trials land without the landowner's permission. The club states that anyone found riding illegally may be refused entry to events and reported to the ACU.

Just because land is not fenced does not mean it is available to ride. Most trials venues are not practice venues.
