Famous trials photographer launches book of career

Some of the world’s most famous trials riders are featured in a new book of photographs by one of the sport’s most well-known photographers.

Eric Kitchen has been taking photographs of world championship trials for 35 years and has witnessed riders like Dougie and Martin Lampkin, Malcolm Rathmell, Bernie Schrieber, Yrjo Vesterinen, Eddy Lejeune, Thierry Michaud, Jordi Tarres, Marc Colomer, Takahisa Fujinami and Toni Bou.

Kitchen retired at the age of 77 earlier this year.

A new book called ‘Observer 2’ has now been put together detailing his career from 1975 to this year with more than 100 images inside. These are real collectors items; hence the high price.

Eric Kitchen has signed each of these books priced at £149.95 plus postage. You can also purchase the special package of Observed (limited reprint and only available as part of a set) and Observed 2 for the price of £299.95 plus carriage.

Limited to one copy per household, you can book Observer 2 from now on www.g2fshop.com or by calling 0161 763 6660.
