This place is simply awesome. What a privilege to get to ride this spot. Props to the guys from IMG & Nike. I dunno most of the guys but everybody had a great time.

Wall ride over the entrance - this thing was freeking high.

This dude J? from Leeds was ripping - how about a no-footed canyon wall ride?

Amazing place, middle of nowhere. Big props to the guys that built it. Thanks for letting us ride it. Dusty as hell, every pic I took looks like it's snowing.

Great pics! Any 'action' shots I tried to take ended up 'snowy' as well! And thanks SO much for the footplant pic - totally chuffed with that! It was a great place, but as usually happens, just when you start getting into it, it's time to move on!
Glad to have been there.

the 'snow' is caused by the flash being too close to the lens, if you've got an integrated flash you're pretty screwed

Great place to visit, as I've said in my other post about the tunnel, I had a collision with Mike O'Connell at the end by the doorway that cost me the rest of the session & a buckled front wheel / snapped spoke nipple which I didn't get fixed until just before everyone was ready to leave but at least i got a few runs the full length don the tunnel.

LiferBMX team rider Jay Openshaw, ended the weekend with a broken toe after bailing a wall ride in Brighton. I didn't see it but some of the old fools were there & might be able to report back what happened.

Thanks to everyone that had inside working to get us in there.

Yo Gary,
Jays broken toe wasnt due to a bailed wallride....

If any of you have seen Brighton Aint Ready DVD you'll rememebr Gary Youngs MASSIVE wallride gap over a very very sketchy set of steps on Brighton seafront..

Jay did the very same line, and made it perfectly onto the teeny step landing platform... then dabbed his foot after he landed - and broke his toe as he essentially kicked a concrete step!
Was an awesome weekend - here's to the next one!!!
