Dougie Lampkin secured his seventh British trials title with a superb ride at Rochdale last weekend.

Dougie was almost on home turf as he pulled off the ride he needed to take the title he first won back in 1993.

He missed out on the title in 1995, coming second after suffering and injury, but bounced back to win the title every year since then.

This year Lampkin was made to fight all the way for the title with Graham Jarvis taking second place.

Earlier this year Dougie picked up his sixth World Outdoor title and is determined to go on and beat the record of seven World Outdoor titles held by Spaniard Jorde Tarres.

This year the ACU British Trials Championship has been sponsored by Keighley motorcycle dealer Colin Appleyard.

The series ended with victory for the Silsden rider after a tough testing event staged by Rochdale Motor Club. Graham Jarvis finished a second with Sam Connor taking third place - which was also the final points order in the British championship. James Lampkin made it a family double by winning the Expert class and the championship.

It was a very severe test and some championship riders opted for the easier Expert course rather than risk injuries.

Robin Morewood with his wife Gill in the MRS Sherco sidecar outfit clinched the British sidecar trials championship in Devon on Sunday despite being

beaten by former champion, Keighley rider Robin Luscombe.

"We had a great weekend, we thought we had done the double but the observer on Sunday changed the penalties, it was great to win, and it stopped Robin & Gill from doing a clean sweep this year," said Luscombe after his Devon victory.

Nathan Wriggleworth won the Craven D.M.C. trial at Skipton on Sunday beating beating Gary Harlowe and James Noble for the top prize. Top Inter was Skipton's Ben Naylor while top international cyclo trial ace Chris Akrigg took a day out of pedalling and used engine power to win the novice award.

Since winning his first trial as a 9-year-old Dougie has taken the motorcycle world be storm. He won schoolboy championships in 1991 and 92, took the European title in 1992 and the following year picked up his first British crown.

Since then he has dominated the sport winning almost every title available.

The sport has also taken him around the world, competing throughout Europe, Japan and the USA. He has also been called on to give exhibitions of his riding skills across the globe.

Dougie has also seen his fortune grow along with his fame, and he now has a tax haven home in the Isle of Man, but still spends a large part of the time he is in the UK at his parents' home in Silsden.

His success has also been a true family affair with his father, Martin, leading his crew s they tour the world.

This weekend Dougie is due to be back on a bike, but this time he will be taking part in a Motorcross event, alongside his brother.
