We have contacted the council and are currently running a partition for the trials park. we have got over 900 names down for it. At the beginning of October, we are hoping to have the thousand we have been waiting for, and we are going to give it in the our local MP and see what he can do.

Smoby Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 bring your partition down when you come to g-send and add about 5-6 names to itlol, sure, What ill also do, Is print some pages off and let you give them to shops. Then when they get filled, you can sand them back, or it could be another reason for us to ride together again . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Theres one in Fort Augustes, Its quite far out of the town though so if you didn't know about it you wouldn't have a clue anything was there. It's pretty good but apparantly its going to get destroyed though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ze best Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) I have been a few places with some riders and we have been quite far and have only come across one which is Thriftwood in Brentwood, Essex. You do have to pay £2.40 to ride but it is really good.It has got logs, Beams, Pallets,Cable drums, A frames, you name it. And if you are lucky you can sneak in and not pay and they don't even notice.Hope that helps. Edited September 26, 2008 by con 221pr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Trials 31 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have been a few places with some riders and we have been quite far and have only come across one which is Thriftwood in Brentwood, Essex.

And if you are lucky you can sneak in and not pay and they don't even notice.Hope that helps.Why wouldn't you pay? It's supporting trials. If it closes down than that means another failure for trials. I would pay every time and try to support it as much as possible. At least you guys have got trials parks. There is nothing over here in the states. Your lucky to find somebody who rides who lives 2 hours away from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitters Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 There are none around me either, so I've resorted to making my own little course with palettes, tires and home built things made outta scraps I got from neighbors and from leftovers at construction areas - and in the meantime - I've been scoping out areas where I can practice without the cops giving me the treatment.Anyway, a bit back to the topic that went sort of off topic... If there's a nice park around, I'd agree with J Trials 31 and say man up and pay the money to get in and keep them around so you can enjoy them and keep them around for a long time. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gogz- Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Skate parks are ok if there isn't any one in them . they can be dodgy because Bmx and trials riders take very different lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 We are currently in the funding process of a bike park that involves a large trials specific area in Braintree, Essex.We've already advertised the project in the local media and has already been accepted by the land area and local councils, a professional design has already been developed, we just need to get some good funding behind it.Designs and more information in this topic; http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=126097 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
