Savage Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Winter weather – the trials riders worst enemy. So as I can continue riding over the winter months I have acquired the use of an industrial unit.I have constructed some obstacles including, just over 100 pallets, assembled into different shapes and configurations. A large cotton reel, some railway sleepers and a log. I am collecting stuff all the time so the list is likely to expand. I will be getting some thin logs / planks of wood soon to make a balance beam section.The obstacles so far are perfect for practising taps, hooks, gaps, drop gaps, up to fronts and side hops. There is something to challenge riders of all levels.The unit is located in Bishops Castle, Shropshire, SY95DW. There’s clean toilets and a kitchen on site too.I plan on having a few open weekends where anyone can come and ride. It will be open from 10am through to 6pm (maybe later if anyone has any energy left) There will be an admission charge to cover overheads. PM me for details.There are a few clips in the video section to give you an idea of what its like.Ben.(Please move to news) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 How far from the ferry to Holyhead? It looks like it's within striking distance of Ireland if we were to make a long weekend of it... Any photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hopefully there are a few lines mere mortals can attempt too ... Is this the same place or are there now two indoor trials venues: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=145456 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Sounds like a flan - I'll wait till next year and see how cheap ferry tickets are once the misery that is January sets in ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Awesome! try and make it before the 10th cos I'm off on a job from the 11th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'd say there's no way I'll be able to get people mobilised for a road trip that early ... Couldn't get any other takers on the Sheffield trip for the Moto Trials round on the 10th either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashley-phil Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I wish i was a better rider, i'd be right up there,looks so good But it all looks way to hard for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I wish i was a better rider, i'd be right up there,looks so good But it all looks way to hard for me There is plenty to go at for all riders, whatever your level. I have a pallet truck so if a gap is to big its easy to make it smaller or if something is to high it will be easy to move something along side to make it easier.Ben.
