went down there today to have a look as there was building work going on there not long ago
thought the council was demolishing it as there didnt seem to be a lot going on there
but to my surprise gosport council have put in a proper gate and concreted the start hill and tarmaced the burms
and also smoothed out some of the silly little jumps too
it now looks like a professional set up track
anyone fancy some old school racing there?

Spesh.. James Christie and the Gosport crew have worked bloody hard over the last 2 years building and designing the track and (putting right , what the council F***** up ).. James is the guy to speak to , as regards Gates , and future events

Been there a couple of times, its the only track i aint fell of on

We did a few practise sessions with James and Darren. I don't think James is on RAD but he is on BMX talk with the username Rubberduck or something like that. Quite windy there though as its right next to the sea.

There is also a council tip right next door which is worth having a look at for any old school stuff that has been dumped.
