Diz Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Hi guys! I live in newport and am struggling to find people to ride with. I'm gonna be out and about on the bike on sunday and wondered if there was any interest in a street session? I'm aware newport isnt great for trials so if anyone has any ideas of other locations nearby, let us know on this topic. Obviously if the locations were near a train staion that would be helpful not only for myself but if anyone else decided to turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sucks, I moved from Newport a week ago, been there for the last 2 years with a bike and had no one to ride with. Sorry dude, massive Bristol scene though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 People do exist near newport. Honest. I don't live far from newport, 20min at most. Caerphilly just north of cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm also only 40 miles away. But it costs to get over the bridge and i've not really seen many spots there either. But i'll be up for a ride if something was sorted out.Cardiff is supposed to be good isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Cardiff, is alright. Personally I enjoy riding there, for my level its fine. I'm just getting back into it too.Reason why I say its just alright is because some riders dislike it as the riding spots tend not to be very close together and theres not many big things there. I say theres not many big things there, but that is most probabbly because none of us have ever got good enough to hit anything like that.I'd say its a good idea to pop down for a ride, see if it suits you. What I will say is Bristol is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I will say is Bristol is better.I will have to sometime. I find riding a small wall is better than riding a big wall that i could only just tap for example. That way it's more fun learning other ways to get up onto the object instead of repeatedly tapping the same god damn wall! I just heard from my mates who skate and bmx that it was good. But yeah Bristol is pretty darn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Neal Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Theres a few of us from Swansea who ride regularly its just probably as close for you to go to Bristol as it is to go to Swansea.There is usually someone out on the weekends, try either me, Partz or Dave33.Cheers,Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
