EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment at the Horsham motor cycle trials in 1935. The event, organized by the South Eastern Centre of the Auto Cycle Union, attracted renowned riders from leading clubs who eagerly participated in this thrilling competition held at Mannings Heath in Sussex. In this particular snapshot frozen in time, we witness J Sloan, a member of the Solo Sporting Club, bravely navigating his 49 Scott motorcycle through treacherous mud. However, fate had other plans as Sloan finds himself buried deep within the unforgiving mire. With determination etched on his face, he clings onto his bike while being rescued from this muddy abyss. The image evokes a sense of adventure and resilience that characterized motorcycling during this era between two world wars. It serves as a testament to the courage and skill exhibited by these daring riders who pushed themselves to their limits for glory and triumph. Preserved with monochrome elegance, this photograph is a valuable piece of European heritage captured by Planet News photographers back in the thirties. Its timeless appeal transports us back to an era where press photography documented extraordinary moments like these trials. Courtesy of TopFoto. co. uk's vast collection of historical images, we can now relish in glimpses of our past that continue to inspire awe and admiration for those who paved the way for modern motorsports.
