i never ride on my own really. If i intend to ride on my own, i'll ride my home town for like an hour or so, then when i end up at the skateplaza, i just start talking to bmxers that are there. (the ones that arn't willy obviously). Not a dig at all bmx'ers but the majority of the ones up here are so far up their own arse they wouldn't dream of riding/talking to someone who hasn't got a seat on their bike.
