Three
decades of FIM Trial World Championship images by Eric
Kitchen
Fresh
from announcing Kick Start – The Return, L+M Events
are delighted to reveal yet another exclusive as part
of the UK leg of the 2010 SPEA FIM Trial World
Championship, which will be held at Nevis Range, Fort
William – Scotland over 25/26/27 June. As well as
hosting three days of World class action, the
beautiful venue set in the Scottish Highlands will
also be home to a very special photographic
exhibition.
Observed 2 is an incredible montage of one hundred and
fifty hundred images personally chosen by Eric Kitchen
from his private collection that charts the story of
the FIM Trial World Championship over the last three
decades. Many of the images in this exhibition have
not been previously seen by the public, and have
remained hidden away in one of the many thousands of
boxes in Eric’s attic until now.
At a youthful 77 years old Eric Kitchen remains a very
important part of the international trials community.
Equipped with his famous Nikon cameras, Eric and his
beautiful wife Ellen still continue to travel the
World year after year in their Hymer camper. Eric’s
‘mobile office’ has now become a regular fixture
on the European highways throughout the season.
There is no doubt that Eric is by far the most
respected and recognised trials photographer on the
planet. This kind and gentle man has been responsible
for many of the most famous images of the sport over
the last forty years or so, and remains a true living
legend. Observed 2 will be open daily from 8.00am to
5.00pm – Friday 25 through to Sunday 27 June 2010
inclusive. This exhibition will be located in the
Pinemarten Coffee Shop at Nevis Range close to the
lower gondola station with admission free to all event
ticket holders.
Those attending the three-day event will also have the
opportunity to enjoy the recently opened high ropes
course that is contained within the paddock area.
Stage one is already complete and offers a two level
course, which at seven metres high will offer some
spectacular views of the main event area. This is a
pay to play activity and will be open daily throughout
the Trial Grand Prix.
Other breaking news surrounding this highly
anticipated event, is that Gas Gas factory riders Adam
Raga, who won the second day of the Japanese GP and
British hopeful James Dabill will both debut their all
new Raga replica machines during the British Grand
Prix. Gas Gas UK boss John Shirt Junior stated.
“I’m confident that the UK round will be probably
the best event of the year being held at this stunning
Nevis Range venue. Having our new bike being ridden by
the Gas Gas factory trial team for the first time, it
is indeed going to be an interesting weekend. I’m
already dreaming of a Raga win and a Dabill podium!”
