T-Rex03 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi everyone, all of the trials riders in Swineshead recently had a meeting with our local council rep to get a trials park built for us, and so far eveything seems to be going ok :S However we got some catalouges through today and the only things that are available to us is stuff for a skate park. So Does anybody know of a company that makes specific bike trials box's or whatever. Thanks Very Much Oli :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 I think you would be better geiing on to the council about getting something knocked up by normal contractors and the likes of council designers who make the town centres that we all love to ride. Good luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHolmes Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 We had this exact probem when we went to see our council and they showed us through some cataloges but it only had skate park related things in so we just picked out some beams and asked for boxes but none of it happened :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsguru Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 all you should need is junk- sewer pipes, old cable reels, logs, rocks etc, most of them things will be cheap and some free so all the more reason for the council to say yes :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHolmes Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Thats what they said to us when we suggested supllying our own stuff, they claimed it would be much more dangerous than them supplying things :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 That's very accomodating of your local Council . Suggest to them hiring bricklayers , or even people in training .Useful experience for them , and a more streety park for you guys . This would also save the council money , as opposed to buying and installing "skate" type stuff . Everybody's happy . Be sure to keep in contact with the Council and nuture this unusually welcoming attitude , gives our sport a good reputation . On the downside , however cool and ridable the end result , you'll soon feel confined and perhaps become bored of the same spot . As already suggested , perhaps some movable objects might keep it interesting ie pallets , spools etc . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boothy Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 They sound like good ideas, maybe some of you could post pics up of the sort of things other councils have built for you so we can show ours the sort of thing we would like. Would probably help us loads. Cheers. (I ride with Oli By the way, not just a random person)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Can anyone post some pics please? Latest news. We have started a comittee to make it all official and are doing things properly and then going to fundraise and run it as a group, similar to a kids football club.
