This film is one of dozens of films from the C.H. Wood collection that captures the sights and events at motocross and motor car trials around Yorkshire and various other parts of Britain. Title-Empire News Bulletin Rough Rider Many competitors avail themselves of `assisted passage' facilities in Victory Cup Trial. Birmingham. A crowd of spectators have gathered around to watch as competitors ride off from the starting post. Some motorbikes make their way along a muddy road, while another motorbike with a sidecar and passenger, get stuck trying to get up a steep hill. Two men run over with a rope, attach it to the front and pull them up; they do this with several competitors. There is a shot of a woman on a motorbike, struggling to push herself along but she is given a helping hand by a spectator. Following this are shots of a motor car which is also taking part in the competition; it drives along a muddy track.
