Walking the kids to school last year i saw a lad of about 17 smash face first into the back of a transit that had stopped hard but he couldn't cos he was brakeless. His face was a mess teeth and clarett everywhere. It was all i could do to stop myself shouting 'that'll teach you for riding brakeless you twat'.

Good = more riders getting back into the sport and getting their kids into it as well

Bad = 1. the look of some new school bikes and set-up; and 2. new school riders who have no interest in the history of BMX (you need to know where the sport has come from if you want to influence where it's going).

darkersomeday · « **Reply #10 on:** January 23, 2009, 11:08 AM »

good= old men whinging about younger riders

bad= old men whinging about younger riders

JT71 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 23, 2009, 11:16 AM »

HEYWOOD BMX · « **Reply #14 on:** January 23, 2009, 11:44 AM »

Good=loads of new riders coming/oldies returning to it.

Bad=chavvy kids asking if I know who invented BMX and then telling me it was Mat Hoffman or Dave Mirra...

pickle · « **Reply #15 on:** January 23, 2009, 12:23 PM »

Bad = brakeless (as said already)

kids constantly asking me 1. can i do a backflip? 2. can i do a tailwhip? 3. well what can you do then?

4. how much did that cost?

Good = Great vibe from all i've had the pleasure of meeting, great support from RAD fookers on here (without it i would've given up by now) seeing guys who could hardly roll in a mini ramp when i first met them, to now getting air out of the Vert ramps!

this place

Bad:

Injuries caused by my body not being as flexible and able to take the knocks as it used to be

No one outside of BMX understanding what its all about!!!

Brakeless muppets! Its not big and its not clever - its gonna end in tears for sure!

Not getting on a BMX sooner

Good:

Good times riding with new friends

Buying new bits for my bike when I deserve them

Progression

Its all good though! Roll on the summer!

Ged · « **Reply #17 on:** January 23, 2009, 07:34 PM »

bad ...working on tues nights

good ...loving the vibe when us oldies get together...burnley was a good day

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #18 on:** January 23, 2009, 07:48 PM »

Same as it always was....

Good - riding

Bad - getting hurt

Everything else comes and goes

Voodoocars · « **Reply #19 on:** January 23, 2009, 08:18 PM »

Good- getting excercise while riding instead of having to force yourself to go running (boring) or to the gym.
having a laff trying to do stuff on my bike that I clearly cant do
Getting time away from missus/work
Having a hobby

Bad - Having to travel to a park thats constantly in bits (creation ffs)
Corby- am I the only one that thinks its tripe? (apart from the vert)
Naff weather so I cant ride at other parks outdoor more often.

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #20 on:** January 23, 2009, 08:25 PM »

I'm not a Corby fan either. Too many collision lines, too much wasted space, missed opportunites in the cafe and leisure area.
I could go on, but I'd best not - I'm in a crappy mood tonight!!!

All that said, it's the best overall facility we have, so we had better treasure it I suppose. I'll be having regular vert sessions there later this year.

markatkins · « **Reply #21 on:** January 23, 2009, 08:59 PM »

People take Corby for granted.I ride there all the time and for a while wanted to try other places.......I tried and still found corby the best by far.Yeah the set ups not the best when busy but most of the time its all good and theres plenty of stuff to ride.
Only other place in the midlands i think is creation which when i went was flooded and full of kids and i dont recall seeing much to ride?Corby is far from tripe,i wish i had it to ride in my day.

jedi · « **Reply #22 on:** January 23, 2009, 09:13 PM »

corby is hands down better laid out than creation!

keep it lit! · « **Reply #23 on:** January 23, 2009, 09:28 PM »

good: good

bad: good

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2009, 09:35 PM »

There is no comparison between corby and creation. Creation is dead unless something is done this year, whereas corby hopefully will carry on to go onto great things. Like I say, we should treasure it
