I will show up anywhere... I am like a bad penny

Did someone say there were no oldschool tracks left

I was going on an oldschool crusade next year. I was going to visit all the old UK tracks i could find and get the missus to take piccies of me falling off. Please tell me Birmingham wheels and Wigan tracks are still there at least. $:-\$
I have a shovel if you want some help to clear up Bullwell :santa_afro:

MK is fairly central

Slough is just sitting there doing nothing, i'm pretty sure i could get a set of keys to the park for a weekend!
plenty of space for camping in there

if it coincides with an RC meeting at the track just nextdoor it will be open anyway!

Funmonster, Wigan has gone...though there has been talk of a track being built on the same site, and Birmingham Wheels has been done up or is still being...I dunno.

Hi all

MK does have a good road network, and i've just found this -

Following extensive consultation with local skaters and the Police, the Council decided to build the Â£100,000 skatepark, which is one of the best skate plazas in the UK, if not the world.

Phil , "MK not strictly old school" ?

It's been there since 84 ! :santa_cheesy: , was originally designed by some guy I know ! . :santa_rolleyes:

silentpartner · « **Reply #60 on:** December 07, 2005, 10:14 PM »

Derby's pretty old school, can organize race meet, but would need to discus with council for camping, failing that its all round Dale's mum and dads house!

and it's in the midlands, aptley named because it's in the middle of the country.

Mattdub · « **Reply #61 on:** December 07, 2005, 10:22 PM »

Here's a few early pics to go well with Phil's newer ones .....

Of MK !

Well I'm gonna make an effort to meet all you nutters! :santa_rolleyes: so where ever you have it I'll make it :santa_afro: its gonna be miles from South Wales anyway,where ever you have it? but one big oldschool shindig sounds spot on! :santa_cool:

Andy · « **Reply #63 on:** December 07, 2005, 10:42 PM »

I reckon Milton Keynes is a spot on venue, its sort of middleish it has easy access from the m1.

Also the shopping centre isnt that far form the track if the chicks come along and wanna do a bit of shopping.

Its also pretty decent for street riding/skating, marble ledges gaps and drops etc etc

Any ideas on when this would take place?

Andy

Mattdub · « **Reply #64 on:** December 07, 2005, 10:49 PM »

Around May/June onwards ?

billstup · « **Reply #65 on:** December 07, 2005, 10:50 PM »

We`ed have to wait untill the racing calendar is released for next year first Andy, but it will be in the summer, possably in August.
BTW hows your head now Â

Andy · « **Reply #66 on:** December 07, 2005, 10:53 PM »

good point billy, whens that get released then???

My head is much better now thanks :santa_cheesy:

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #67 on:** December 08, 2005, 09:52 AM »

later on like august time is best i think. its more likely to be warm, and may is the expected date for the sheffield track event. if you do them too near you will water down the amount of attenders.

Rooonga · « **Reply #68 on:** December 08, 2005, 09:55 AM »

Definately Dagenham!

We have the track, can probably camp as long as its after the footie season, and best of all we have a big hall/pavillion, and kitchen, and changing rooms with showers right next to the track!

(We will have to pay to use the pavillion, but shouldn't be too much split between everyone.)

OR!!!!

Why don't we do what we were gonna do this year, and sort out Brettons!

Couple of weekends work, and the track will be in excellent nick!

Proper old school track too, with camping available, and the BIG club house for a piss up in the night!!

heh heh, didnt know that, but i was refering to the style rather than the date, i think orb was after a flat track with a single low bump on it halfway along a hundred metre stretch.....

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #70 on:** December 08, 2005, 10:00 AM »

we need some pics of the various options, and maybe a poll.........

ORB · « **Reply #71 on:** December 08, 2005, 10:22 AM »

I think the sooner we can get it all sorted the better the event is gonna be, then people have much longer to plan stuff, buy beer, build up a bike or two etc...

DaleHolmes · « **Reply #72 on:** December 08, 2005, 10:24 AM »

Seems like everyone Â is putting foward the nearest Â track to were they Â live. Â So here's Â mine choice! Â Derby. Â I rode it the other day, Â easy , very old school , on a nice park, Â good camping Â and near the M1.

darren · « **Reply #73 on:** December 08, 2005, 10:33 AM »

sounds fairly middle of the country dale, is the track in useable condition? ok for camping or is it all round yours? is there a club there that can organise things ?

theRuler · « **Reply #74 on:** December 08, 2005, 10:36 AM »

make it sooner than august though
