For those of you into riding... - Niall - 05-08-2012
So after a chat with some of the guys at ace day yesterday, it turns out a lot of people are into riding on this forum so we thought why not arrange a meet? Date in mind was 15th September.
Was thinking of going to chicksands. It's a great day out and cheap

Have a look around their site. There is a massive range of things to do there from the 4X and dual course to XC trails to north shore. Experience really doesn't matter as it is varied for beginners through to pros/nutters.
£5 for the whole day paid cash on arrival. Full face helmet, gloves and shin guards are the minimum iirc. You do also have to have a safe bike. If any of the staff see anything dodgy with your bike, they will kick you out!
So who's up for it?
1) Niall
2)
3)
4)
I haven't got the exact address but it's up Near Bedford. Was also thinking about finding a campsite for the night near by for a few lols, BBQ and beer.

I'll be game providing I have my bike
and a full five helmet
Re: For those of you into riding... - Dan! - 05-08-2012
Careful of the second jump on the mid set
and btw I don't think gloves are essential and full face helmets aren't either, just a normal helmet. If Jake and Ben are up for coming to this then I will probably tag along with the camera...

Fair play. Last time I went it was full face unless you were on the XC trails....but this was 5-6 years ago now!
Dan sure you don't want to bring the bike? Haha
RE: For those of you into riding... - Poodle - 06-08-2012
Dammit, sold my full face and pads a couple of years ago...
That buggers this up slightly for me, i don't even have a basic helmet any more, let alone anything else in the way of protective gear.
RE: For those of you into riding... - Niall - 06-08-2012
Poodle I will more than likely wear my full facer all day. I've got a normal helmet in the shed that's 5 years old but it was never worn. Bought it and it just sat in the box! Your more than welcome to borrow that and my old gloves.
RE: For those of you into riding... - Matt - 06-08-2012
What classifys a helmet as a normal helmet? As at my dads I still have a few to choose from
RE: For those of you into riding... - Niall - 06-08-2012
Matt by the sounds of things, now as long as you have a helmet of any sort (to protect your head....wacking your cock out will probably not get you very far)your ok
RE: For those of you into riding... - Matt - 06-08-2012
Ahhh cool, I'll see if I can borrow my step sisters barbie one
RE: For those of you into riding... - Poodle - 07-08-2012
Argh ffs, just checked the calendar and seen it's a close mates wedding that day.
Thanks for the offer dude, it seems life doesn't want me to make it to this lol.
RE: For those of you into riding... - Grant - 08-08-2012
Count me in. I'll be taking the van too, so if anyone wants bikes/equipment taking, just holla.

RE: For those of you into riding... - Niall - 13-08-2012
Don't need to pedal when your going downhill!
For those of you into riding... - Jake - 13-08-2012
I'll probably be there !!! All be it on rigid forks so will only be dual slalom / dj for me.
RE: For those of you into riding... - Niall - 13-08-2012
Camping jake?
RE: For those of you into riding... - Scott - 13-08-2012
Will need to get one of the bikes up to scratch beforehand, but I'm up for this!
RE: For those of you into riding... - Niall - 13-08-2012
Scott you camping as well? Found a site near by which is £4.50 a night. Win!
RE: For those of you into riding... - Scott - 13-08-2012
I'm game.
I thought you guys were giving me a lift anyway, and f*ck cycling back
RE: For those of you into riding... - Niall - 13-08-2012
Yeah you can hop in with me providing I can borrow grants old mans bike rack
RE: For those of you into riding... - Scott - 13-08-2012
You've got a towbar right? I need to buy the adapter again but I've got a bike rack we can use. Holds 4 bikes comfortably and won't damage the paint
For those of you into riding... - Jake - 13-08-2012
If I do go then yeah I might camp, depends if there's showers lol
RE: For those of you into riding... - Niall - 13-08-2012
Sure there is. That's then 2 days of epic riding and an epic evening!
For those of you into riding... - Jake - 13-08-2012
Will have to check with work but I'm well up for that.
