Hi guys
New to the forum, I did a quick intro in the 'welcome' forum earlier this week.
Anyways, I've ordered my first ever BMX at the tender age of 39, and I'm all excited like a kid on Christmas eve. I'm massively into mountain biking, but after my first go on a BMX at Rush skaterpark Stroud last Friday I was hooked instantly and can't ever remember getting such a buzz from MTBing
So, I can ride at Rush, also there's a new maverick skatepark near me in Stonehouse and a biggie opening up in Cirencester soon. However I'm really keen to have a blast round a good old-fashioned BMX track. Does anyone know if there's any in or around Gloucestershire at all? Any other good places to try out?
Thanks in advance 8)

Take a trip to see me in Hereford, we have a national standard track that's mint, and a huge Crete park

Cheers, sounds great, I'll definitely make my way up when my bike turns up and I've got used to it 8) I'll be seriously slow but I'm not bothered about that!

Hi Benno, yes from Stroud mate funnily enough. I do remember it, very well, although as I was never allowed a BMX as a kid, I only ever went along on my hand-me-down 5th-hand upright touring-style bike and watched! I heard about the Robinswood track, apparently its still there but overgrown now. I'm thinking that one near Patchway Bristol is gonna be my best bet to give it a go. Definitely planning on heading to Redhill. A load of my mates ride it on 4X or mountain bikes, but apparently a lot of the stuff there was designed with BMX in mind too so should be a laugh.
Cheers, Wilko
