Look chaps, if you want to ride - really ride - then you've got to get out and do it.  I've seen Paul Meacher turn up at Skaterham at 10pm nearly, just so he can get half hour in. Hell, I've done it myself on occasion.  Charlton sessions run into the late hours, I'm never there before 8.30pm but often there at 11.30 or later.  If the journey is a problem then accept you're getting there late, you're riding late and you're going to work knackered the following day. That's the lifestyle chaps...

When I'm riding, I ride three venues each week (or at least I try to), just to keep what few tricks I've got. It's a hard slog really, but the rewards are high as Trev is finding out now   :daumenhoch:

I fully accept and understand how life can get in the way. Especially if you're a family type. All I can say is that a little balance is in order I reckon  ;)

Make a decision.  Ride for fun and bugger learning any tricks  (nowt wrong with that), or make a committment and make it happen...

Trev - buy a car for fooks sake. You're not broke, you have no excuse. £500 worth of old fiesta, 3rd party only insurance. Job done.

Pickle - Hertfordshire?  It's not a bad trip round to Charlton. As Sean says, its literally just through the Blackwall Tunnel.

Summers coming fellas, now's the time to step up, before you know it it'll be the RAD xmas doo again and you'll want to have a new trick or two for that surely?   ;) :)

Trev:
Well said Rob.  :daumenhoch:

I went to Charlton tonight.  Got a lift of one of your old riding buddies who rode at your halfpipe in the 90s - Evamedia. Cheers mate.  :daumenhoch:


Didn't quite get the bottle to go for the spine yet, but done the volcano a lot more than i usually do and did it quite early in the session too, rather than poncing around for ages before getting the bottle to do it.  Despite it looking like i wasn't going to even try it, i was a lot closer to doing it than what the others thought. but that doesn't count for anything does it... i'm sure it's not far away though.

Anyway, Skaterham tomorrow...  ;)

TwoBobRob:
Cool   :daumenhoch:

Once you're riding the volcano just as part of your run without really thinking about it, then thats the night you'll go over the spine.  In the meantime, I'd like to see you go over the volcano to pegstall, then a good pump and back over the volcano. From there it's tyretaps, disasters and maybe a grind. You've got tha makings of a decent run from that.

All well within your reach   ;)

Trev:
not quite got to the "not thinking about it" stage yet. still clunked the back wheel on the top the majority of times. i'm sure they will get smoother with time. i know in my mind i'm progressing with it, so another couple of sessions i think.

if i get a chance on the spine tomorrow at skaterham, i may try and get to charlton on friday (train if i have to) and have another bash.

evamedia:
Trev, they were getting smoother as the night went on.

Maybe more riding and less bunnying ;)

Thanks for sorting out the frame, and the invite to ride, good session, good bunch.
