Title: French Exchange - Road Trip
Post by: Zippy on February 18, 2008, 01:27 PM: Anyone fancy heading over the Channel and whipping the French at old school racing.

I remember seeing a video of their race last year. I just need to find out where there's a race going to be held and if it would be worth us attending.

Any of our French members able to help out with this?

Post by: Zippy on February 18, 2008, 06:41 PM: WEll I haven't actually got a clue where to start really, I'm hoping some of the french guy's on here will be able to lend a hand and see what's out there. :LolLolLolLol:

Reckon an anglo french meet could be quite a good thing though. :daumenhoch:

I'd be up for that though, and might be able to help out with accommodation if you're arriving via Calais

Near enough buddy, we're thirty miles down the autoroute in St Omer

Got two BMX tracks nearby, and France's best indoor skatepark is just over an hour away in Abbeville.

Could make a cool roadtrip: old school racing, skatepark riding and a couple of bottles of Leffe blonde ;)

Small world. I was in St Omer a few weeks ago.... Had a lovely pizza there.
