Mikey Tomo Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Similar concept to Koxx days but in the sunny, hot venue of the UK. I mentioned it in the Koxx days topic but adam said he didn't have a venue. Any ideas of where and when and if ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Its all well and good you posting this tartydays, but it makes no matter what the forum says really especially at this point you need to be talking to adam its his busniess name in the title and him you will be expecting to put all the effort in to make it work which will proberly cost him time and money.

Ben John-Hynes Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I love the idea, and If it takes off, I'll be there for sure. Not sure if anywhere in the UK can handle that many riders, though. Maybe the place up in lancs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm posting this up just to see how popular it would be and where would be the best place for it. Then I will have a word with Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I think the biggest problem you'll have is thelack of adventure. Itll just be like goin to ride somewhere in the UK, that if its that good,most people will have ridden it to death anyway. People will go, ride and then go home. Buthiers is different in the sense that you dont go there very frequently, and you cant go home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Lee Mill Quarry is perfect.... for trials. But Koxx Days is about so much more. There's nowhere at Lee Mill for decent camping (with facilities), flatland BMX, Unicycling, Dirt Jumps, Street BMX/Scooters...We are definitely up for running a similar event in the UK but finding a venue is something we haven't been able to do yet, and I guess that would be the first stage...Any suggestions welcome!

Muel Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Blackpool? I've never been, but the trials is good enough to hold a competition and theres bound to be places to stay and have a typically shite british night out by the sea side?

Sponge Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 In fairness, Ali,Tartydays would predominantly be a trials social gathering and event, much like Koxx days, since they only became big names in the flatland, unicycling, and scooters worlds. I think something like a quarry would work perfect for trials riders, AND trials unicyclists. If we want to go further and to accomodate flatland BMXers and flatland/street unicyclists they can easily tag along on street rides, or have any flat plain. An indoor area with pallets on one side, and the other side being totally flat could work well! As for dirt jumpers, street BMXers, scooter riders... well, their sports aren't as niche or small as trials, flatland bmx, or unicycling and it's difficult to get stuff set up for them, not to mention they'd probably much prefer riding elsewhere.But yeah, Tartydays could work awesomely as a trials get-together, with bits of flatland and unicycling thrown in for fun. I'd definitely be up for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
