looks like a good candidate for a lock in............. 

[WINI]

OOOOoooossssshhhhhh!!

[Peter J]

 

Yer Baby 

[griff]

already sent them a message via FB about a possible lock-in

that's going to be very handy indeed

[Julian347]

Good news Griff 

May even get me on the ramps with it being so close.

Any idea on how long those things take to build?

[SaMAlex]

Happy with that  
Its about 30 mins from me. And since at the moment the best/closest skatepark is Corby which is an hour and a half away, that 'll change my evening riding no end!

Oxford. And we are getting 2, new, outdoor concrete parks this summer (after about 15 years of trying!!).
Its all going on now .... just in time for my retirement!

retirement? no way man
I pass Oxford on my way up the M40 to BR & TRM1 so let me know if you want picking up one of the nights

yeh .. come to ma barn.

 

thought you'd like that name - after all the T1 vs TRM1 'debate' before are you going to have a word with them about the original Ed's barn?  
From now on I may have to call it EB

OK, thanks. That'd be great. Where are you at?

I went to Term1 last week but didnt ride at all. The dude laying on the floor bleeding to death was enough to put anyone off 
(He didnt die, but he really looked like he might. It wasnt good)

I heard about that - didn't sound good at all 
I live in a buzzing metropolis called Binfield (Nr Wokingham) Oxford Services normally takes about 45 mins from my front door

looking at the video i think they are gonna need a higher roof if you get the likes of harry main etc hitting up the place. may be deceptive but roof looks low.

not sure now but failure was bought out by hyper so they are putting alot of money into the brand
