Freewheel Display Team Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Good afternoon everyone. I'm currently looking into hosting an indoor riding event in the North East area of England. The event will be similar to the 3sixty trials jam that was held a few years ago. If everything goes to plan, the event will be run over a weekend closer to the Summer. At the event you can expect onsite catering, as well as a stalls from local bike shops. Throughout the weekend we will be giving away freebies to riders including stickers, t-shirts and some little trinkets. As we are still in the planning stages, that's the only information we have, but we will keep everyone updated. Who would up up for this?

Freewheel Display Team Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Sorry but is this for everyone or is it to come and watch the freewheel display team ? I apologize, I should have made myself a little more clear. It will be an open event so anybody can ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 wouldn't an indoor event be more popular in the winter? and outdoors in the summer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freewheel Display Team Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 wouldn't an indoor event be more popular in the winter? and outdoors in the summer... As we all know, A British Summer mostly consists of bad weather . So the idea was to make an event that would still go to plan, even if the weather took a turn for the worst. Although the place we are thinking of hosting the event, does have a small outdoor riding area which could be used if it was getting a little to warm inside.

Freewheel Display Team Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 how would you be cooling the indoor bit? The place we are looking at is an Indoor skate park that I've rode myself, back in the BMX days. The place is quite a large area, so it shouldn't get too stuffy in there. Here's a little video from the 3Sixty which is held in the same skate park: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James281098 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Do you have any idea how much it will cost? And is there camping or locals hotels near by? But I do agree with the British wether being bad haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freewheel Display Team Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Do you have any idea how much it will cost? And is there camping or locals hotels near by? But I do agree with the British wether being bad haha I have a meeting with Rosa from Dynamix skate park on Friday, so I will know exactly what's happening then. I think they may be a possibility to camp over, as there was that option for the 3Sixty Jam. The prices will hopefully be below £25 for the weekend depending on number of riders Etc.

JJ Leigh Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 this is the kinda thing that needs to happen more, and in different parts of the UK as well, instead of travelling 200 miles n stuff to go to ! event what's gonna cost loads to get there. would love to go though, but probably wont be able to...

trialsalot Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Its on my doorstep so i'd go if I wasnt at work. Might be worth speaking to Brett and Drummond about it. Took alot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm in! I went to the 3sixty one. was really good. I could only stay for 1day though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 wouldn't an indoor event be more popular in the winter? and outdoors in the summer... That would be my first thought, ideally run furring the winter months. I think so many get put off with shit weather darkness that it would be a welcome chance to ride over the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think with stuff like this you just have to do it, tell people when it is, and hope they come. Half the people who say they will come won't, and you'll (hopefully) get people who don't even know about Trials-Forum turning up. Sounds harsh but that's the reality... It's an awful lot of work to put on an event like this and do it well, but it is worthwhile. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freewheel Display Team Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I've had a meeting this afternoon with the owner of R-kade skatepark in Redcar ( http://www.r-kadeskatepark.com/ ) and the guy seemed very keen on the idea. He's currently in the process of building an external trials park so he liked the idea of hosting the event. The guy wanted to know how many people we can expect and he want to know if any big named riders will be popping down as this will be a good talking point for the event. He also want to find a big sponsor for the event, and he kept trying to hint for me to try and get Danny Macaskill there He liked the idea of giving prizes out, and wanted to try and get cash prizes for some of the competitions. I took a load of photo's of the park and i'll upload those as soon as i can. Any questions or suggestions are welcome, just fire away. Many thanks.
