Aaron.Tottman Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) my girl friends noticed it recently, no drive t'ride no more!!!moved to a new area in gloucester just before x-mas and put it blunt there is almost nothing to ride.their's a skate park that i could fit in my living room, one slanty wall ona hill and a KFC with benches outside. everywere that has pallets put them ina warehouse after closing.now i thought gloucester centre was sh*t for riding but quedgeley takes the p**s.now glos' centre is bout 30/40mins ride away on the trials bike which means train staition is even longer it's actually starting to get me down to the point that was concidering selling the bike and giving up trials.this is the last thing that i want to do!.!.!.!any one else in my possition? what do you do get your self going? were do you seek your drive to ride?any help is appreciated.AaRoN Edited March 10, 2009 by Aaron.gloster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron.Tottman Posted March 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 car? drive to places.steveyou know, i'd love to drive but most my money goes to my daughter. the rest food and bills.i think theres maybe 4 riders that i know in gloucester and eskimo is the only guy i know that rides on a regular and he lives like 20 mile away. Slammin vynal i.e Vince, lives bout a mile away but trials or MTB's in general just seem to be a gimic to him. he almost never rides.

sstein Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I have feck all in my area, about 5 miles away there is a small skate park and a couple of fun benches, but I am really bored of doing the same lines. The way I get around it is to challenge myself to new things on the same object, for example on a bench I might try going up, spinning 180 on the back wheel (on just one of the planks) and gapping off. It is not the best example but you get the idea. Also just get some pallets and build some fun stuff in your garden, it doesn't have to be big, try for instance side hop up to gap, it's free and fun!
