Chandlers Ford which is near Eastleigh. Two mins from the Motorway junction. (M3)

should have let us know Phil, i could have done with popping out for a play and a confidence building exercise. Those jumps look good.

Post by: steve1275 on May 26, 2008, 11:18 PM: the bowl is cool ,we just need some time to choose our favourite line, as it is like riding a pool me thinks..

mr likley was seen experimenting its contours, but fun was stopped when he lost pressure in his rear tyre following a session on the dirt track...

next time :daumenhoch:
