Peter Purves and Mick Andrews present the Grand Final of Junior Kick Start, a special series of the motorcycle trials competition for young riders.
There are two events - the senior competition, for riders aged 12 to 15, and the junior competition, for riders aged 8 to 11. The senior final takes place over two legs, with riders tackling the obstacle course in both directions, with the winner being determined by their aggregate time over the two events. Competitors in the junior event go round the course just the once.
