Has anyone seen it?

I remember him telling me exactly how much he'd spent on building it. It certainly doesn't look much now.

I've seen it in person but it was under snow and ice and the time.

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #7 on:** February 13, 2015, 03:00 PM »

I've seen it too in the flesh not long after it was built and it looked awesome.

Just a pity the Yorkshire weathers fooked it up!!

Was he the guy making copy action zone bars ?

Last time I spoke to Daz was about 12 months ago and he was really into his off-road car racing again

Pretty sure he kept quite a few bikes but they will be gathering dust and probably find their way onto ebay eventually if he gets bored of looking at them $:-\$

As for that half-pipe, it was mad as it had no transitions and was vert at 6' so totally un-rideable

I bet the newbies coming on here wont miss him trying to shaft them though,,,

I remember saying at the time I was puzzled as to why he didn't ask for some advice before going ahead with that.

Yorkshire's weather has nowt to do with it; It's just a cheap badly built ramp.

Hopefully he didn't pay too much in the first place but I doubt that's the case.

Must have missed that one.... Do tell, please. Photos would be good. Of course, please feel free to change the names of those involved to protect the guilt/innocent. Action zone bars are not something i'm into, buy a few radsters love them. Would be good to some photos of the copies to give less clued up members a heads up....

I think he made it for a bit of fun......not to become ramp builder of the year.

That much is clear.

What he actually did was throw £1800 quid away. Although from what I understand he can afford it, so no harm no foul.

My point about asking for advice at the beginning was simply so he could have got the shape and proportion correct and by doing that he would have had a lot more fun on it for the time he wanted to ride it.

Aah. So the converse is true - he didn't spend enough.

He's back in the game. Heard from him last week.
