The Hitcher Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Bridport, but currently Plymouth for Uni. Come home everynow and then to ride with Alex Mac who lives in Bridport also. You should get down to westbay, top notch spot to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Westbay and Portland Bill, such nice spots to ride. Portland has some of the best natural on offer in the UK, while Westbay has a great mix of natty and street. In the summer, theres nowhere else id rather ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry26rims Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 SOON TO BE... do you drive? I ride sandbanks most sunday mornings till lunchtime if you ever fancie it. I find bournemouth good for summer evening rides so i'll be hitting there later in the spring. Have a vote and get your self out with other riders, you won't be a beginner for long!

I'm fully booked for a while, but I'll give you a shout when I can. and no, I can't drive, but I'll spend hours in the saddle (of which i don't have) to meet up.

konstant Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I've ridden at West Bay before as well... def. recommended for Dorset. I haven't ridden in Dorchester before but it looks like it could be good. I remember seeing someone riding a Fourplay at the BMX/skate park (which is decent if that's what you like)... there are always riders hanging about there. The park is right next to the station. I know it's not as far South but central Bristol has lots to offer. There's a popular spot near the Imax cinema and explore@bristol which I've been meaning to visit for a while. Also, on the opposite side of the river to the SS Great Britain there are some really nice combos of walls, rails, gaps, pontoons and steps that have potential if you follow the river up towards the Oceana club etc. I'm at uni in Manchester at the moment but come home to Somerset (roughly between Yeovil and Taunton). Any good spots in Somerset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hitcher Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 London/Brighton/Worthing!!!! All of which are nowhere near dorset, Congrats. Dorchester is o.k, there a bit of street but mostly people ride it for the skatepark, as has been said. Its a brand new concrete park, nice place to ride as Ive heard from many local riders. Weymouth is much better for street riding though, but Westbay has it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
