Joe@Onza Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Hi Guys,Just to let you know we have been working on creating a BMX / Trials Arena for the London 2008 show. We have 1000 SQ meters to play with and have some of the best riders there to display their talents. The show starts next Friday 10th Oct till Sunday 12th. We have the usual 10 foot concrete pipes and railway sleepers for the trials riders and built the very first transportable BMX park. The park includes a 1/4 pipe, a jump box, a Volcanoe, A flat bank and a curved wall ride. So this appeals to to both sets of riders. Positive comments from some of the UK's best BMX riders have given us the confidence that this willl be the spectical of the show. With the likes of Danny Mac mixing the 2 sports together make sure you dont miss it.I'll pop some photo's of the rig up tomorrow.Riders include:Andrei BurtonWaynioJoe SeddonDanny MacJohn ShrewsburyMartyn AshtonSam PilgrimChris Smith "Mole"Bob ManchesterMatt PriestScott Buchanan "STP"Ryan ElkockAnd many more............Should be the best show yet!!!!!!!!!

Rusevelt Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Is that list of riders confirmed, because the official cycleshow website does not confirm a fraction of the riders you've listed? Will there be a novice/immediate course for us to ride on providing we wear helmets, or are we spectators because of insurance/health & safety reasons?

Joe@Onza Posted October 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 so can anyone ride?Sorry no. Its for a crowd like a theater. Its got to be controlled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 so can anyone ride?Anyone can ride the MAD test track on one of their bikes.Does anyone know where would be ok to park all day? I don't mind parking up and getting a bus or train but I can just imagine getting down there and not finding anywhere to park for less than £10.

Bionic Balls Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 never actually tried it myself...there is a huge car park opposite earls court which does probably cost a bit (can probably look that up somewhere)..but alot of the streets around there are residents parking only..except at weekends..so you could be alright!

grant_hundley Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Anyone can ride the MAD test track on one of their bikes.what about on fatmikes bike or does it have to be a phase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Anyone can ride the MAD test track on one of their bikes.That's correct. From what I'm aware we will have a no of all 3 of the Phase bikes range for the public to ride on our test track. With us (MAD rider's) giving coaching aswell as brief demos throughout each day of the event.The main idea is to give the general public a taste of bike trials. There will hopefully be atleast to route's for people to try. One for beginner's who are new to the sport and another for people who are more experienced in the sport.This will be my first time at the event, so I'm really looking forward to it. Should be a great experience, and alot of hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
