aaa222 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Hi, I am Iain from Glasgow. I am looking for some contact with Glasgow or central belt of Scotland Cycle Trials Riders as I am a motorcycle trials rider myself and are in the process of opening up a trials academy in a quarry south of Neilston for motorcycle trials and cycle trials. I am trying to get in contact with cycle trials riders if they were interested in a place to build a cycle trials sections and a place to come and practice.

wee neil Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hi, I live in the Falkirk area (in the central belt), there's about 7 of us that ride trials in this area and I think there's a few more riders in the Glasgow area and probably more scattered around the central belt too. This would be a great thing to have and I don't know of anything like this already in the central belt.I would be happy to help you!Just a few questions though...What can be used to make the sections out of? When does it open? Do you have any pictures of the quarry so far? Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossMcd Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 This sounds good! Id love to come help out, ride there I'd love to see some pictures of the area. A trials academy would be such a good Idea aswell! I hear there is the Koxx academy in france but never heard of one in the UK at all! Sounds really good! Hope it all goes to plan!

oblongbob Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi, I'm pretty new to trials, but I am moving back to Glasgow this weekend after a wee while down south. It would be great to get involved and meet some other trials riders. Sounds like a great idea.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Well after going up tonight to meet the organiser of the trials academy i can only be impressed with the enthusiasm of Iain and his team. They are truly out to try and offer us the best support, development and location possible all we need to do is get involved and support them in there goals to make it happen. The site is absolutely amazing there is already a growing collection of man made obstacles, including concrete pipes, cable reels, tires, all manor of random objects around and as its in a quarry there is endless lines of rocks with lots more rocks to be added in the future. Pics up when i`v had some dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
