Nope, really nice midi, though the roofs a bit low if you're blasting

Street bit's ok for a nibble if you're passing, I won't be doing the 4 hour round trip for me in a hurry though

That's only 4 hours if you dont run out of fuel. ::)
I'm going that way today to deliver a bike I sold and it is only 15 mins away, my fuel costs are covered, so rather than do a 4 hour round trip had a look online and found this place. :)

Report from Harrison my 7 1/2 year old"The ramps could have been better" & "The ramps were slippery"
My report "It's OK if your local, the ramps are slippery" For what was supposed to be a bike only session we were the only 2 bikes there, rest was boards and inliners"
The ramps themselves were varied, if anything abit busy, If that makes sense. If I was in the area I would go again but it's 2 hours away and Corby and Creation are 2 hours away.
Anyway enjoyed myself, if your that way give it ago.

how big is the midi? looks fun

Post by: Gary72 on February 21, 2009, 08:34 PM
Quite big, didn't pop out, just felt wrong :-\
I reckon about 7-8 foot.
The ramps were covered in a combination of ply and a version of MDF?

'a version of MDF'.....

That might be the infamous Skatelite you hear so many people banging on about.  It is slippery, and gives some wicked friction burns. Rides fast though.

it was very slipy today , dont think the ramps have been swept properly for a while
most of it has been redone in skaterlite last year , still quite a bit of ply about
my lad slid out big style n we left a little early as he was battered n brused
its one of the best indoor parks down this end , for bmx there is a quite good one at sittingbourn

Well, "local" in inverted commas, they use it as a bit of selling and publicity point as he is actually from round that way, and used to go there when he was around

we saw him there one time, he was a nice bloke
