Dougie Lampkin wins tenth Scottish Six Days Trial
« on: May 08, 2016, 10:30:32 am »
Dougie Lampkin has done it again and it's official. His tenth win of the SSDT I reckon at 40 years old he has just shown the world that he is still one of the best. He must have had his dad Martin with him all the way. Martin was the first FIM World Trial's Champion in 1975 and passed away very recently, he would be very proud of Dougie.

Dougie was also the youngest at 18 to win the SSDT. He then had a gap in his 20s whilst he went on to win (I think) 12 world trials titles before getting back into the SSDT.

Yep great effort. Watched him in a few extreme enduro events and comes across as a top bloke and a great rider to boot

years ago when Prime TV channel first arrived down here in NZ they played the arena trials in Britain & probably elsewhere of which Dougie was one of the 'main actors' bloody high up on those big cable reel thingy's etc. We were hanging out each week to watch those, just heart stopping stuff.
