Edward Earle on his way to the British title
Little Edward Earle is making a big impact in the demanding sport of trials riding.
The nine-year-old from Addingham has just been crowned as the Class D British Trials champion.
Edward, who has been riding for three years, dominated the championship riding a Beta Evo 80 bike for the Colin Appleyard junior trials team.
Such was his dominance that the Yeadon-Guiseley Motor Club member won the first five rounds and had clinched the title before the final trial at Tong where he opted to ride a protype electric trials bike and finished third overall.
Now he is hoping to add more titles in future years.
