SSDT vlog

“My name is Jan Peters and I am a trials rider from Germany. I love trials that are a bit harder than your average Clubman championship and I love making movies.

“I rode my first ‘Scottish’ in 2010 and loved it from the beginning. Later ,when I started working for Jitsie I attended the SSDT for creating pictures and videos but I had a hard time, driving around in the car all day, I just wanted to ride the Scottish! So I thought about solutions; how to combine media coverage whilst still having a bit of fun on the machine for myself.

“In the first year I made videos of Dougie Lampkin riding the SSDT. I was lucky enough that I got a number close to Dougie in 2016 and was able to follow him getting to places where the normal SSDT visitor never goes. In 2017, my number was miles away from Doug’s, so filming him was not an option. I had to deal with what I had and so my SSDT companion, colleague and legend, Richard ‘Milky’ Midgley and I became the stars of the next year’s Jitsie SSDT videos. To be honest, I prefer standing behind the camera so talking to it was hard in the beginning! But finally we got so much positive feedback and such a lot of views that we kept going and in retrospect, watching our VLOGS from 2017 is a great way to recapture how the trial was for me and keeps the memories alive. So we kept filming our experiences in the SSDT 2018.

“I have tried to capture the great, friendly spirit at the SSDT. How successful I have been, you can decide for yourselves in this year’s glorious Adventures of Milky and Jan”. You can enjoy it on their YouTube channel or visit: www.jitsie.com/en/features/ssdt-vlog
