Jitsie Minitrial Series
The Jitsie Minitrial series is a dedicated trials competition where young riders can learn, progress and compete against their peers in a safe and supportive environment.
The series introduces young riders to motorcycle trials competition in a structured and positive environment. Across multiple events, riders develop genuine motorcycle control skills while navigating sections built from natural terrain such as slopes, turns and small obstacles.
Beyond riding skills, the series promotes respect for rules and safety, sportsmanship and confidence through positive competition experiences.
The focus is simple: progression, enjoyment and long-term rider development.

How scoring works
The Jitsie Minitrial series uses the traditional motorcycle trials scoring system, where riders aim to complete each section with as few penalties as possible.
Points are given per section as follows:
0 points ā Perfect ride!
1 point ā One foot on the ground
2 points ā Two foot dabs
3 points ā Three or more dabs
A score of 5 points (failure) is given when a rider falls, exits the section boundaries or rides through a gate belonging to another category.
The rider with the lowest total score wins.
Series ranking
The Jitsie Minitrial series consists of multiple events held throughout the season.
Each event has its own independent classification and podium. Riders also collect series points at every event: 20 ā 17 ā 15 ā 13 ā 11 ā 10 ā 9 ā 8 ā 7 ā 6 ā 5 ā 4 ā 3 ā 2 ā 1
The final round in Genk awards double points.
At the end of the season, the rider with the highest total points becomes Jitsie Minitrial series champion in their category.
