Where are you based? I’ll be finished there at about 5 on Thursday. Could ride somewhere after that, I’ll have my van so can get anywhere.

That would be good. Not sure how much time I’ll have but will see!

Thanks guys. Next week I’m filming in Kent, Essex and North London. Week after Stoke, Sheffield, Middlesborough, Newcastle then back down to Nottingham, Oxford and High Wycombe. I ride an Echo Pure so more natural/TSG stuff. Going to checkout Peak District on my trail bike too.

I’m about to do a roadtrip for work, I’m filming lots of locations across the country. Thinking of putting my trials bike in the van. Where should I check out?

Guildford wasn’t great for what I could find. Only little bit was in Stoke park, quite a few rocks around the paddling pool/pond. Took my street bike the second day, skate park was alright. Probably better stuff around Alton though!

I use Ritchey WCS foam. Nice firm foam with a much bigger diameter. The thin things are far too small for my hands!

Heard good things about that way. Will have to venture that way when I get a day off!

Really getting back into trials after about 12 years out. Ive never had a car and ridden trials so have lots more options now! Based near Brighton so can easily travel around the South East. Where should checkout?

I’m at a course for work in Guildford this Thu/Fri and next Monday. Going to go for a ride once I’m finished about 6pm. Anywhere good to ride? Anyone fancy joining?

I'm in Shoreham-by-Sea if you're still around here!

Ah that's awesome thank you! Yeah I know about the car, I was really struggling to find pics on Google image search. Some of those places are massive! Look loads of fun!

I'm in talks with my local council about redeveloping an old BMX track (now flattened). It's a pretty big site, 50x100m (football pitch) I'm hoping to make it a multi use bike "park" with Tarmac pumptrack, MTB skills area and a trials section. Any ideas for the trials section? I'm thinking concrete pipes, big rocks etc. I want to make sure it's hard wearing. https://www.google.com/maps/@50.8328397,-0.2855623,154m/data=!3m1!1e3

Trials is highly taxing on the nervous system. If you’re tired or stressed (or both) it will significantly effect your performance. Taking some time to warm up your nervous system can help, little basic moves, build your confidence up. Deep breathing and clearing you mind will also help you focus.

You can buy a taping kit and some bolts to DIY it’s pretty easy and will cost ~£20 https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/steel_bolts/onza_m5_axle_bolt_and_washers_kit/c523p11735.html?pos=2076&search_params=YTo3OntzOjEyOiJjYXRlZ29yeV9pZHMiO2E6MTp7aTowO3M6MzoiNTIzIjt9czoxNjoiY2F0ZWdvcnlfcmVjdXJzZSI7YjoxO3M6ODoia2V5d29yZHMiO3M6MDoiIjtzOjk6ImJyYW5kX2lkcyI7TjtzOjQ6Im1vZGUiO3M6MzoiYWxsIjtzOjQ6InNvcnQiO3M6OToicHJpY2VfYXNjIjtzOjEwOiJjb3VudHJ5X2lkIjtpOjE7fQ%3D% https://www.screwfix.com/p/tap-die-set-10-pieces/3783V?kpid=3783V&ds_kid=92700030952053079&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1249481&ds_rl=1249796&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9LPYBRDSARIsAHL7J5lm1KL1oyEddbrH_XrI-EIUOqKL1BLWmKHk7aVmUa5a0qhqqe3yOLMaAoFREALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CM2pusbGq9sCFYSlUQodvPUFEA
