RADBMXMAS Winter Gathering @ Terminal 1 Melton Mowbray - Saturday December 13th

4th Annual 'End the year with a blast' ... this year @ Terminal 1 Park - Melton Mowbray Airfield

... a festive gathering for us RADsters on the edge of the North South divide

( this pic has changed a fair bit now - the door gap has gone and theres a little rhythm section on the right and a spine ramp )

-------------------** REVISED **------------------------

Starts @ 9.00pm to 12 midnight - people will be around from 8pm - price will be £10 a head for riders ... pay on the door as you arrive. If you are just watching / chilling then its free!

Only 25 people down for this at the moment ... so more than likely less than 20 coming ... thats about a 1/3 of previous years.

Based on the low turnout I'm gonna cancel the show 'n' shine, sales 'n' swaps and any other comps.

Its just gonna be a 3hr private session for riders and people to watch if they want. If you want to bring bikes to look at then all good but theres no offical S'n'S... same for stuff to sell / swap.

Riders :

1. Spen
2. Ed209
3. TrickyRich
4. SheffieldRich
5. MarkyMunn
6. Bill
7. OldTired
8. Wadz

-------------- original night ------------------

Wicked indoor park - ideal for first time riders or old school rippers ... with room for getting your Show 'n' Shine bikes out again ( as MK is really not enough )

if you are coming to chat or coming to ride then bring your bikes and lets make 2014 the best turnout for the Xmas S&S yet

... so why should I leave my nice warm house? ...

- Well designed park with lots of different sections so lots of people can ride at the same time... sweet bowl / jump box / spine / little rythmn section / foam pit
- Xmas Show'n'Shine - get those bikes adored

we'll have a 'Peoples' vote for best 'Old race & freestyle / Mid race & freestyle'

- Nice warm 'alpine log cabin' style cafe serving decent food and drinks.
- Rider comps for stuff like best 'line', 'trick','biggest balls' and best 'festive bike or person' etc
- Swaps'n'sales - bring and buy... sell shit buy shit!

... or just stand around having a chat eating mince pies and sipping mulled tea ... or coffee

Starts @ 9.00pm to 12 midnight - people will be around from 8pm - price will be £10 a head for riders ... pay on the door as you arrive. If you are just watching / chilling then its free!

So don't be a grinch ... get you name down and GET FESTIVE

Is the time right for this 9pm till midnight? So three hours?

pickle · « **Reply #15 on:** November 12, 2014, 09:34 PM »

Yes mate, 3 hours of riding, talking bollox, eating, drinking, farting and riding

Bright · « **Reply #16 on:** November 17, 2014, 10:54 AM »

There is a chance I can do this now. I've just been made redundant but I know I have work until Feb next year.
Put me down as a 80% sure I'll be in attendance. I need to nail the front flips into foam before heading dirt bound

ED209 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 17, 2014, 02:15 PM »

50/60 people have come to these in the past.

To be honest 18 is shit and I can get 15 old guys on any weekend for a rideout.

This will be the last one unless people show some interest.

There... I said it.

pickle · « **Reply #18 on:** November 17, 2014, 02:41 PM »

You can but try Ed, nobody can say you don't try on these events mate and your enthusiasm for them is superb!

maybe we'll get the usual mad rush on the 12th?

Spen69 · « **Reply #19 on:** November 17, 2014, 04:10 PM »

Ed, I seem to recall how the Christmas do started as folks wanted another event in the calendar to show their bikes, come have some banter and catch up with their BMX mates other than MK in the summer

The last three have been mint, with a great turn-out and the fact that the few of us who want a ride in a premier skatepark with no scooter fleas is just the icing on the cake

Come on folks, show some commitment to your favourite BMX site and get your name down, it's FREE unless you want to ride, and even then it's only a tenner. The cafe is excellent and the venue superb, so make the effort and get yourself along or it will be the last one Ed bothers to try and organise

with the Toy ride oop North and the Haro book launch down South the diaries are clashing a bit (might add that you put this up before either of them!)

If I can get out at all that night it will be to this though - heard there might be a premier inn opening up there soon too?
