mintsauce Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I really want to go but I may have to bring my son with me as my wife is due to have a Cesarean on the 10th and i cant expect her to cope with a new-born and a 5yr old on her own, is anyone else bringing kids with them or is it best not to? And for those worried about their low standard of riding, don't be. I'll be worse than you It's totally open to everyone. Woodfest is a 100% family friendly event so bring em along. Take a look at http://www.woodfestwales.co.uk (Woodfest is the event that Tarty Days is twinned with) and you'll see that there will be loads of none riding related activities to do, suitable for all ages, alongside the amazing riding arenas.

Oldskooltrials Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I hadn't really considered the Woodfest side of things! I was a worried that my son would get bored watching bikes all day, but it looks like there's plenty of other stuff to keep him entertained Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deilsonwheels Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Related news: Hopefully gonna be heading off to the site this weekend to grab some photos and make some ramps/kickers - let me know what you people (realistically!!) would like Good news on the removal of the Ft. Bill clash - that was a shocker. Really hoping I'll be able to go now! On the ramps side of things - I recently designed a modular ramp system based on 4' wide, 4' high, 8' radius quarter pipes (makes best use of 8x4 sheets, see). Each one is split into 3 parts - lower tranny, upper tranny and a box. Each part is 2' high on its own. Gives you LOADS of options for big ramps, small ramps, fun boxes, spines, shallow or steep kickers, gaps, you name it. Sounds more complicated than it is, honest! I made two sets and it works great. If you want more details, I'll sketch out plans and dimensions for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want more details, I'll sketch out plans and dimensions for you. As said right from the start, the date was always going to be the same as the Woodfest - so we can't do anything about any clashes unfortunately. That sounds pretty spot on, although we've only got a day to make them... Don't suppose you have any photos of your setup? Sketches would be equally awesome, although I understand they will probably take you a fair while to do! We can infer the rest of the dimensions from the height of 2' you see Thanks!

AdamR28 Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Had a bit of a bash at making some kit on Saturday - massive thanks to Simon at The Oak Frame Company for letting us use his stuff, plus 'Skinny Dave', Matt and my dad for lending a hand too The two kickers we have some far will form part of a larger fun box which will also have two flat landing ramps (which will also be useful as flat banks) - I'll do some doodles to help explain soon! Also going to make a flat bank with a rail across half of the top of it, plus we've got some mini-kickers which should be useful for ramping up stuff. We're running pretty tight on time but if there is anything small that you would like too just shout! Anyway, pics... Our workspace for the day - amazing place! Matt and Dave marking out the sides for the ramps Mini-kicker side bits Taking shape... If you see this sight in future, don't go near!! Nailgun-equipped madman on the rampage! Ply on top, nearly there... Testing! Mini kickers (got 2 of the larger ones, will test in the coming wheels and tweak if necessary) What we have so far - other ramp needs ply on top of course! And here's one Matt and Dave made last week... Expect to see Ali C backflipping off this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 No worries Make sure you get a 3-dayer (even if you are only staying for 2 - only £4 extra) as you'll get a free T and free burger with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Ok, who's on near enough this route that isn't driving themselves, wants to go for all 3 days and share diesel costs? Can't promise you'll be able to actually stay in the motorhome, but I might as well take advantage of the fact there's a load of space in there for people and bikes on the way there and back... EDIT: PM me and we'll try to sort something out. Not even 100% sure I can get there yet but it's getting too close not to organise...

Ah see I wanted the tshirt but cant make all three days, now that there is a free burger aswell it makes no sense to buy a 2 day ticket I would have taken JD up on the lift, but Im only doing 2 days and I need to pick up a gecko from rhyll after I leave so its a bit unfair to impose that on someone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Quit my job so i can attend such events. Hopefully don't have to drive this one solo too. [edit] Just to clarify, we need to get there before 10.30am for the separate parking, yeah? Edited May 4, 2011 by eskimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Any Southerners heading up on the Sunday? Begrudginly I have to attend a wedding on the Saturday and would love a lift if one's available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Any Southerners heading up on the Sunday? Begrudginly I have to attend a wedding on the Saturday and would love a lift if one's available Im only doing 2 days but could probably be persuaded to do sunday/monday, gives me a 3 day weekend then edit: If I only go for the sunday/monday, can I still qualify for a free tshirt and burger by paying for the three day ticket? Shaun, if you want a lift you would have to make it over to lichfield (40mins from new street). Ive also got to collect a gecko on the way home but thats only in rhyll so no massive detour.
