Bmx Track Session

IS anyone up for going to the Platt Fields Bmx track? Think it would benefit polo players mostly as its a good way of gaining bike skills, but it would be open to any one who fancied it. If there's enough interest I'll contact the club and try organise something.

YES!!! (kinda, might pee myself)

Definitely on it.

I've referbed Woodys old racing bmx and I am WELL up for it.

were you thinking of sharing your skills? ill def come, im interested

im in
i am also hinking of organisng a speedway trip to the one in manchester if anyone is down

Intrigued - never willingly having gotten rubber off of terra firma...

sounds good, you dont have to book we can just turn up on an evening and pay a few quid, what bike you using mirek? we found full size mtb wheels were too big and it was better suited to bmx or 24"

what were the problems you had with 26" wheels voidcore?

Okay Ste was thinking that too, it'd be nice to have it to ourselves but its quiet most of the time we should get a few more people together then choose a night when we're all free. I'm going to ride my polo bike and maybe change the gearing or hire a 24" if they have em.

I know its on a massive hill but check these guys larging it up

I'm keen to be part of this, even though the time I took my mountain bike through a BMX track (not dissimilar to the one in the video) I didn't look anything like these guys. Even the ones falling off looked more elegant. I will accept any advice going oh great polar bears.

you can hire bikes there for like £2 cant you?

ill go if i can hire/borrow a bike, ive ridden on the bmx track on my polo bike after climbing over the fence and royally fucked myself up so gonna use a bmx if i go back (it woz the bike wot did it guv, honest!)

what were the problems you had with 26" wheels voidcore?

there too big to fit the jumps properly, plus everyone knows there for gayers

picked up a disclaimer before. "riders must ..take full responsability for their actions...all riders must wear helmets, gloves, jeans, long sleeved tops and rubber-soled trainers...when racing must wear a full-face helmet, elbow and knee pads"
the guy told me that he'd lend me the helmet and knee/elbow pads.

lets go this weekend?

im up for it, can ride my bmx :)

I can ride my lil bros BMX? I so want to see how long it takes for the wheels of a £60 halfrauds bike to fall off.

sounds good, dependent on weather?

I can't come then, I have a date with my wife on the phone (time zones, UK vs USA) but depending on how long we talk I will try to come by a bit later with a camera at least.

im happy to go even if it is drizzling?

they close it if it rains though

ffs i wana come play! i'd have to put a brake back on my bmx i think, lord they make it look easy in that video, i dont know if they always close if its raining, ive been there when its been snowing before now,
