Top bombing lads. Cheers to the old shuffler for sorting it :2funny:

Andy you are welcome to the idiots guide to trying not to fall off anytime bud. Better tyres, drop the stem and seatpost, pull your bars back and move your levers round for next time  :daumenhoch:

Dropping-in award goes to Rick after some gentle encouragement he was straight in so well done mate. Closely followed by Sam who demonstrated his floor polishing skills the first time he did it but ataight back up and did it perfect the second time. Sam you are welcome to ride with Usual Suspects with those floor cleaning skills you will fit straight in :uglystupid2: :uglystupid2:

Just glad I finally got that nasty vert drop in sorted...... :coolsmiley:

Been too busy with work lately to go riding, last time was at this lock in  :(

If anyone wants to book one I'll do my best to attend, Saturdays are out for me though

Who wants to buy a couple of bikes?  :LolLolLolLol:

I'm in agreement with Paul... I've eaten far too much cheese and chocolate over Christmas...I need a BMX workout badly!!! "help"

C'mon guys there must be a solution or another venue ...what happened to Blackpool ? anything on offer in Liverpool?

There were good numbers at the last 2 events....we must be able to sort something out ?

Depends where you live I suppose. Luckily we still manage to roll on the other side of the hills here in Sheffield,  Doncaster, Nottingham,  Leicester and the metropolis of  Melton Mowbray on a regular basis ::)

No excuses for not getting out to a park in the North west

Two in Manchester,two in Liverpool,Preston,Blackpool,Clitheroe, Leyland

About a 25 mile radius to reach em all


Then there's the tracks

Copull, Manchester platt fields and Manchester Indoor , Preston,Blackpool,Lytham



The new one incoming in Darwen/Blackburn is meant to be " different from all other UK ramp parks and to a standard to hold international competition"


Just hope it gets the use and support . Kids don't know how lucky they are ,,,we had to build our own 8' high x4' wide quarter pipes  :-\ :D

That place has been planned for about 18 months, the pic is of another park, it'll be a bit smaller than the arc

Hope they go ahead and build it, too many of these projects never get off the ground

I'll keep my new schooler (worth fook all anyway)  ;D

Normal sessions at the arc are never right busy if any one wants to go ride  :daumenhoch:
