Trial biking brothers revved up to be champions of the sport

SIBLINGS AGED TWO, SIX AND SEVEN ARE PRACTISING OR COMPETING EVERY WEEK

- By DEBORAH HALL

THREE young brothers from Driffield are trials bike barmy and hoping to write their names as champions of the sport.

Edward Wainwright, at seven-and-a-half years old, is already leading the ACU (Auto Cycle Union) OSET Youth Trial GB Championship, as he bids to become British champion in his age group this year.

He led the boys in the Trial 4Y Debutants section of the championship opener last month, held at Harwood Dale and hosted by Scarborough & District Motor Club, with further rounds to come this summer.

Younger brother Oliver, six, is honing his trials skills with his sights set on becoming an Enduro rider. Meanwhile, Rupert, two, is riding his first motorbike, inspired by his siblings, parents and a grandparent.

Trials biking is a whole family affair, with dad William following on from his own father Richard - and mum Abi getting in on the action. The Wainwright brothers all ride OSETs, which are electric off-road bikes.
