The Grand Final of the popular motorcycle trials show comes from Easton Neston Park in Northamptonshire.
Six top international trial riders come ‘under orders’ to compete for the title of Kick Start Champion 82. They all face an new, fiendishly difficult course plucked from the twisted mind of former two-time European Trials Champion, Mick Andrews. Andrews also joins presenter Peter Purves in the commentary box, to provide expert analysis.
The lineup for the final features two Americans; Curt Comer and Bernie Schreiber, two Brits; Peter Cartwright and Colin Boniface, Belgium’s Eddy Lejeune, and Kiyoteru Hattori from Japan.
