Dan6061 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Big rides aren't that great really...You barely get a chance to ride if everyone's at one spot... seeing as there's so many people trying to ride the same thing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunt man t Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Ur it helps to say where and when this big ride of yours is at , instead of falsely getting everyones hopes up with this big NOTHING of an idea. im amazed that youve generated alot of views and a fair number of posts with your big ride sales pitch thats the whole point. asking when everyone can come...and remember it was an 'idea'.are you coming???

tartan pixie Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Assuming 15 votes is 15 people and each of us bring a mate or two it should be a giggle. The date does need to be decided at least a month in advance or getting time off work could be a problem.Maybe a little fancy dress? Nothing over the top but a few silly things and minimal planning except for locations is always a good mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 My $0.02;It's extremely hard to get a date when a lot of people are all free, even moreso when EVERYONE is free.It's also very hard for some people to get places. What's close to one person is a day's travel for another. Even those places relatively central, not everyone can/can afford travel there and back, plus somewhere to stay for some.In order to get EVERYONE (or near enough) to ONE PLACE at the SAME TIME isn't going to happen I'm afraid.Also, consider the situation where, by some freak occurrence, everyone was able to afford to travel for however long, to the same place, on the same day.Where the hell is everyone going to ride?!On large rides of say 30 or so people, with a generic mixture of todays riders, a fairly representative sample for the entire population, you always get some points where people end up queuing to session one section of wall/one line.It's almost bearable on these rides, but if it were any bigger, hell no!Public annoyance levels would also be through the roof, there would almost undoubtedly be big police involvement, and whatever reputation trials may have in the public eye would almost certainly be screwed with...Big rides are good, but something on this scale would need BIG planning, it's own area, not a public place like a city, and considerably more thought...Perhaps something like Koxx Days at the quarry Ali C is helping to sort out for us, though even then not everyone will be able to come, as it would cost considerable time/money/travelling for a huge proportion of ridersNot meaning to put a massive negative post, but these sorts of things should really be thought about to some depth before being considered like you seem to be doing.Perhaps a conceptual thread in Trials Chat, where it can be discussed etc would be more appropriate than a thread in Rides/Locations?

Luke Rainbird Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I have 9 bits of coursework due in over the next week or so, TF is far more interesting than all of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 luke that strangely sounded a lot like me and look what im doing now!but your right about the ride though, its not really feasible in a town or city, too much disrupption to the public, can see lots of fines and people "disturbing the peace"not worth it to be honest.

Revolver Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 in that case, what about if we made this ride at the trials park in lancashire?The pictures of the spanish place look both huge andf**king amazing, and ours is going to be bigger and betterso who's up for that? Because then there'll be lots of trials riders in one place, where there's a million things to ride, and no-one will get annoyed because we're meant to be there.as for the date, I made a poll, and its 3 months in advance of the nearest month, june, which isn't the current favourite.It doesn't matter if everyone doesn't come, but to have like 50 of us would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
