It takes me anywhere from 1 3/4hrs too 2 1/2 hours to get to the Boardroom. Must admit was starting to struggle last time got home at 2.45am.

Gonna come along and have a go. It'll be good to meet the regular lads and see the new park.

Be gentle with me as I'm a skatepark virgin

Cheers Jol

I'm down in Hertfordshire mt Hoops. I'm planning on going to the Worcester ride during the day then up to Nottinghan in the evening. While I'm having a BMX day and have a pass from the wife I may as well do it properly

both you so called new guys need to put aside the concerns and just come and ride ... help and advice is always on hand

Riding is what is important...

Be there.

What sort of numbers are you looking for, I really should be getting an early night as I'm racing the next day.....or should that be later that morning!
Got a few of my local boys that are interested on coming if there's room.

Hoops and Rob, get yourselves down there and plenty of us will show you the basics and get you rolling. As long as you turn up ready to listen and don't expect to drop in and air on your first time out then we can all help you out with sensible advice.

I managed to get DannyRobbo2012 to drop in on his third ever trip to a sketepark and Bigfraug is next (if he ever shows up with his balls present!) so you are welcome to plenty of time and advice to help you enjoy these nights.

Just remember there are actually still a good few of us who love riding our bikes, no matter how crap we are as it's what they were made for in the first place, not to be hung up on the wall...... ;-)

Looks a cracking park. I wonder what the tea is like tho..??

Robmac · « **Reply #40 on:** November 19, 2012, 09:48 AM »

Nice one, thanks Spen

I'm just struggling to find something to ride that has brakes and I don't mind scratching !
I've no freestyle bikes to ride, but I'll prob bring my survivor ET ( just to see if it really can fly

)

If I can see myself getting into this I'll need to build something a bit more suitable.

See you there

Rob, just make sure you have ramp-ish tyres mate. Compe3's would not be an advisable weapon of choice unless you are going to take it very easy bud.

Lessons are free. Scars are for life but chicks dig scars don't forget........

Good question Ben. Essential to replace the amount of sweat you produce lad.....

oldtired · « **Reply #42 on:** November 19, 2012, 12:15 PM »

Rob and MR hoops any bike will do, turning up is the main thing that's worth more soul points with us lot than what bike your riding , good pointer from Spen "the knowledge"

on the tires something meant for freestyle, will make things easier for you, cheap ones will do for the first couple of rides

. Pads and a helmet are more important

all our bikes are set up slightly differently so you can have a roll round on few and see what suits you , and go from there , no point shelling out for a bike if you feel you don't want to ride the wooden waves , no stigma attached to that decision either we have members turn up who don't ride , tis all cool and heckling is always good

Gents, had a look around Flo today! It is huge,
absolutely awesome!!!
Met the owner finally! He wanted £300 for the hire but I got it down to £250!
So, it should work out a tenner (ish) each!
Hope that is all cool with you.

Hire is from 10pm until 1am,
But I would recommend turning up earlier, paying at reception, getting your wristband and having a look round, its got a huge viewing gallery and cafe!
There's also a KFC a short walk away!

Here's some new pics on Facebook.....

Good stuff. Should be great. Did you spot a tea urn anywhere?

Gary72 · « **Reply #45 on:** November 20, 2012, 08:50 PM »

What's all this tea talk, Where's the nearest Starbucks?

Some of the Nottm Oldies went there on Tues Night.

Said the place was 'absolutely awesome'.

But It was covered in Fleas (skooters).

But we don't have to worry about that on our night Brothers . Can't fckn wait.... All to ourselves!!

Keep the Fleas. L
