onzatpro09 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Found out about motion skatepark in Bristol the other day and just wondering if anyone has been before on their trials bikes (and if they're even allowed) and how the foam pit is as I really want to attempt a back flip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 If you're a more streety, 24" type rider then Motion is alright - not amazing - and they will allow you to ride there. Thursday evenings are bike night. The foam pit is okay. Its problem is that the drop in is very close to pit so you have very little time to prepare but, none the less, you can somewhat get used to it. There's certainly the possibility of learning flips in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I ride a stock genesis but in a fairly streety style. The only real reason I am too bothered is because of the foam pit and the fact its only half an hour up the road. Corby sounds good but it's a fair way away (as I'm down in Swindon) and I've heard that place in wales (Cardiff or Newport, I can't remember) is dirty as a 9 year olds mind!

1a2bcio8 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm not sure how well you'd fare on that sort of bike given the foam pit setup to be honest. Although I wouldn't like to say for definite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This depends more on your set up than riding style, if you have a short high stem you might be ok. Anything else and you'll have a lot of weight on the front! What is it you want to learn into foam? Or just for the fun of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
