downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Take them to court i would. I would fight for my sport...They cant ban you from riding your own sport... just plead guilty to damaging the wall, you might geta fine for it... but, thats the most they gonna do... just plead that you dont have ANYWHERE to ride your sport... because the coucil wont supply you with somewhere... then the council will cough up... Thats what my uncle has told me to do if i get "banned" from riding, or the sort... (hes a police man...) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikeriding Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 (edited) Happened to me and a few mates up at county hall in worcester, we're planning to write a letter to the council saying how any damage caused to these walls would be significantly less than the cost of them having to build us a trials park, problem is theres not enough riders in the area to get them to build one so they tell us to go to the skatepark instead. Simply because they don't understand why we do what we do.if i were you I'd get as many people to sign a petition as you can, I'm sure theres a website that can help you with this- for the mean time just ride there anyway, if you get chucked off, s**t happens.Oh yeah and they cant make you leave without a court order, as long as you aren't! causing damage.

Dr Dig Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Im relay not allowed to be seen with my bike any where near our town center. Even when I'm pushing it they approach me and give me shady looks but i guess my going mad at them for telling me off for being on a bike when a group of stoned 14 year olds had just walked past didn't help my cause but i just thought they needed advice with their priority's lol.

LiamWood! Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 The police will not be able to ban us from riding where we ride because we ride in the middle of no were lol, i would just keep rideing the spot until the police came then u just ride away they cant really stop you from doing sports if you havent broke the wall in the first place, tel them were to go lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Midget Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 This happens to me anf my friends every week. The good thing is that all the policeman in braintree are useless and they never do anything. they tell us to go away give uys a writen report and all we do is go and ride again once the copper has gone. If you keep a look out when riding your favourite spot you can see if there are any cops then just leave straight away if there are.JUST DONT RIDE THE SPOT EVERY DAY AND IT ATTRACTS LESS ATTENTION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 The police have got much more important things to do than lay the law down on us, unless you give them good reason.The key to being able to continue riding has got to be to avoid coming onto the radar of people who might exert their power to scupper your fun. Plus when you do, try and part ways in a fashion that will minimise clamp downs.Surely you'd expect that taking a wall down will put you firmly in their sights. If your polite and apologetic and listen to them then they are more likely to help, rude and they'll be gunning for you in future wondering which wall will be next!Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 The police have got much more important things to do than lay the law down on us, unless you give them good reason.yeah, but, they don't, round hear they seem to just walk around generally picking on peole having fun, especially the PCSO's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 haha id laugh me and moorey and few others were out last night in hadliegh and dan was tryin a wheelswap from wall to electrical box and birdman told dan to get down because a police car was at the lights so i put away the cam and dan got down and the police drove slow past us and said thats well goodits the same with everyone though boys your just vandals, you start throwing stuff and make a mess and you wonder why you get chucked off and maybe get fined. you need to change your attitude, couple weeks ago we all road appleton school and instead of shouting at the care taker sayin f off and all this we all chatted to him for about half an hour and being polite and it helps and it shows that your not complete dicks to be honesttreat people and property like you would want people to treat you and your propertyhope this teachs you a lesson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 An important thing to remember is to not dwell in a spot for too long.If your riding somewhere in the middle of a busy town (lets say Chelmsford town centre on a Saturday), get to know your limits of how long you can ride. In this case Chelmsford town is about about a minute.Or perhaps if your riding out side some kind of establishment, assess how many people walk past the area, what kind of business is it etc, and give yourself a min/max time to stay there.Usually it is due to being in a spot for too long, so just remember to keep on moving on when your out and about.
