walker Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) This may or may not have been done before, but I couldn't find anything myself, so I created my own. Firstly I would like to thank Shaun H, Matt B and Tim Stedman for helping me in getting the ball rolling by adding the first locations, cheers guys! The point of the map is for everyone to add the riding spots that they know and ride at so that they're there for everyone else to enjoy as well. All you need to do is click on the link and click edit on the left hand side of the map. You will then be able to pinpoint the location, even down to the very line (!!). Whether you want to share it with everyone else or just show off about a line that you did. A few points for using the map: - Please read the Guidelines on the map before adding or ammending locations. These are available on the left or in the key that floats somewhere in the North Sea! - Please use the correct style and colour of marker as explained in the key to distinguish between natural, street etc. - Add a name and brief decription of the location. For the benefit of others you can give a detailed description with a rating in the format that is described in the Guidelines on the map - The more you add, the better the map will be for everyone At some point everyone has been to a new place knowing that there are things to ride, but don't know where they are or where to look. This map will allow everyone to go straight where they want to, even if it's their very first visit. With advancing mobile phone technology this could be a really useful tool when out on a ride! Another cool feature to add is a link to photos or video from the corresponding location. You could also write a brief description of the moves that have gone down and where the most insane lines from your favorite rider's videos were shot. Or maybe some history of an epic ride or funny story that took place. Hope you enjoy it and make good use of it. Get adding locations now!

Ben John-Hynes Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 That's bloody awesome! Nice one lads! One thing: The Hassle factor should be the other way around, so the higher the number, the higher the security. Makes sense to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 I see your point, but if you look at some of the descriptions they include a rating, so a total out of 40 needs a high score for hassle. Unless you like security Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Wow, now I look at Birmingham again I realise I have far too much free time on my hands!!! Really shows you how many spots there are though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 It has been done before... Dan S did the last one on here, I posted loads on Nottingham on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun H Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 It has been done before... Dan S did the last one on here, I posted loads on Nottingham on it. But that got forgotten about clearly. Let's try and get this one into a more complete form. If everyone adds their own local spots we'll have an excellent resource in no time!

PaRtZ Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 how the hell do you add locations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) how the hell do you add locations? You need to have a Google account I believe. I've added a load more locations in Brum, some of the more obscure ones now! Would be great if someone did Leicester! Noone seems to know their way round there haha Edited March 11, 2010 by Shaun H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin555 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 How come Matlock has a high hassle factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 How come Matlock has a high hassle factor? Because you will only ever get hassled by some retarded dog walkers or something so it scores highly compared with some spots in Brum where you will be moved on in a few minutes, making them score badly.

walker Posted March 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 It was a bit confuzzling, so I've changed it to quietness factor. Should be a little more user friendly now. Get adding locations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin555 Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Oh I see, sorry my bad. I thought a 10 meant you was more likely to be hassled. but its the other way round. I feel stupid :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) What's an example of an arena? Also, really the titles of the spots need to have the city or town name in too, keep it organised. Edited March 12, 2010 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Christ you're probably right, I've got a lot of editing to do tomorrow What's an example of an arena?

Revolver Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Also, add a different marker for ideal parking spots, maybe. Or not, there's the P sign.... Edited March 12, 2010 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walker Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 What's an example of an arena? Also, really the titles of the spots need to have the city or town name in too, keep it organised. Basically man made obtacles that aren't street. And yes you could, but it isnt really necessary as it doesnt automatically arrange them into aphabetical order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginger allen echo Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 There's a place near keswick in the lake district called Bowderstone. I don't think anyone that does trials knows about it. But it;s seriously awesome. I cant find it on google earth/maps Here are some pics: An old slate quarry nearby: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
