Baa from stansted airport have teamed up with sport4essex and donated 5000pounds to build a small trials park over great notley discovery centre, a designer who knows alot about trials biking is coming down to design it with us this thursday, then they are going to build it by september the 19thim really surprised we got this going, be interesting to see who the designer is, whether hes on here or not? i imagine hes someone that helps out with the fort bill cup?anyway, i had to put this somewhere simply because im so excited! i dont know how far 5grand will go, but its better than nothing!

Bearded Midget Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 probably wont be allowed pallets as they want it to look as natural as possible, so will probably consist of logs, rocks and maybe the odd tractor tyre....

psycholist Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) Statistically given the gender breakdown in trials this person is a lot more likely to be male, secondly in English it's grammatically more correct to use he as the pronoun where he or she is a possibility. If this is a lead on to the People's Front of Judea campaigning for Stan/Loretta's right to have babies then ignore me ...

Bearded Midget Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) It was blatently my gentle persuation to the nice man when we all met up and agreed on the place...yeh yeh you wish and thats wickid andyalso in the meeting today its looking like there really into it and want to gradually expand it if people continue to use it, and i also got a job over there fixing bikes and renting them out to familes. and i didnt even have to have an interview. good times its not going to be all that big to start by the looks of things, but there definatly having bolders and large logs and obviously smaller stuff to accomodate different riding levels. also andy, when we are building it would be greatly apreciated if we could have some help to position obstacles etc and more experienced riders such as yourself might be more suitable for the job Edited August 21, 2008 by Bearded Midget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 its a shame they cant just donate a warehouse aint it just fill it with with loads of pallets and a drill with some 100mm screws but they your gonna need to supply lights etc but then you could do it like my local skate park which created jobs for people and a place to skate (legacy xs)you dont need a huge place really do you like the one in shoebury (burnt by chavs) only problem is if you got wood laying around you know chavs just gonna set it alight telll me when its done and il get the southend basildon boys up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
