Lukeee Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) I ride there as much as possible(Which at the moment isn't alot). I usually head straight to the Bill , I'm looking at buying a house on the island. When your down there on a Sunday look out for a silver van with TritonCycles.co.uk on the side!Thats me!

Lukeee Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Those Squared off rocks look pretty cool , Where abouts is that on the island? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-BT Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Well theres a couple of places like that, on is the easton stone firms quarrie, bit dodgy if you get caught. There is other abandoned quarries like, at the back of the stone firms one there are loads of flat rocks dumped around so it makes perfect sections, great fun but mostly its just uncut rock which is better, not really hard to find ever.

montstar Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 hey guys, i live on portland (i think i might have seen you around on your Purple BT??).....but i can honestly say Portland is THE BEST place to ride EVER!Whenever we go on road trips we're always like.."oh, wish we stayed on Portland"Seriously you could hold a 50+ section Trials Venue on the whole island (6x4 miles) and not have to ride more than 5 mins between each section!!The cut rocks rule, it's like a hybrid of natural and street. And the abandoned quarries are a gold mine of perfect lines!I'm gonna show you guys something quite embarrasing now.......This is a website i made YEARS ago when i was only a nipper (15/16). It has some info on Portland etc, with some TERRIBLE riding pics! HAHA!PORTLAND BIKETRIALHave fun laughing....(but seriously, there should be a mass ride here! soon!)
