Ed, how big is your brother in law, if he is Spen sized I can bring a 18 inch bike

Gary72 · « **Reply #39 on:** December 29, 2013, 03:02 PM »

Could bring the bunny hop set up if any one fancies trying to get their extra Xmas bulk off the ground.

ED209 · « **Reply #40 on:** December 29, 2013, 03:04 PM »

Cheers Gary - he's not a mini elf! It's up to you on the bunny hop bar lol

Danny, have a word with Rich will you

24hrs and no pics yet $:-\$

Slacker

Oh. Was a top night. Nailed a couple of tricks but the volcano still eludes me. Great to see the return of some of the suspects and new members as well. Pity it was a bit crowded with the astronauts from Nottz but that's the price you pay to cover a private sesh somewhere that good and big $:-\$

Top night lads can't wait for next one

Wadz · « **Reply #43 on:** December 30, 2013, 11:44 PM »

To be honest I'd rather book the boardroom than pay for the flo guys to ride ,
It fooks me off knowing they ride there everyday and they use our session to ride for free and hog all the main ramps,
I'll think twice about the next one if its going to be like this from now on
I bet 40% off the people last night didn't pay,they can fook right off if they think I'm paying for there free session.

Away nice to see ya all and all the best for 2014

Jim's birthday in 2 weeks if anyone's interested in me sorting a Donny session out, have to be quick though.

The Crow · « **Reply #44 on:** December 31, 2013, 03:30 PM »

As I am a regular at Flo it's probably best I respond to your points Graham.

1. I don't think the "Flo guys" you refer to are regulars at Flo. I am there everyday or every other day and there was a load of riders there I had never seen before. The session was put on Flo's Facebook page so I presume that's where they heard about it and not on Radbmx. Definitely not regulars as there were a lot of waiver forms filled in.

2. I know Alan the manager and Scott who was on the till pretty well. They told me 37 riders paid and they took £370 in the till. The exceptions to this were Leon (who works at the park), a tall lad called Joe (he was the one doing big 360's on the jump box, he is Scott's partner in their trails and helped build the ramps at Flo), there was also a little guy doing big transfers from the 7ft quarter on to the vert wall (that is Alan, the park manager).

3. At the first one at Flo back in November 2012 we had a problem with one rider who I know who didn't pay. Since then I have arrived early and stayed in the foyer until everyone is in to make sure people pay. And with the exceptions above everybody did, so, not a free session for Flo regulars at all.

4. Yes, it was too busy for some, including me, I didn't ride once. But to be honest I thought we would have struggled to get 15 in! I am sure we can all come up with a solution for 2014 sessions, wherever they are, that can keep everyone happy.

Cheers and early happy 2014

Sorry Jol for sounding off , I thought it was a closed session for people on rad ,
I was just pissed off cos it's a 140 mile round trip for me and I had it in my head to clear the big jump box and the volcano and couldnt get a look in.
15 to 18 on the rad list and 37 turn up is great for the park but for a rider of my skill its not so good.

The Crow · « **Reply #46 on:** December 31, 2013, 04:53 PM »

No worries Graham, I know exactly how you would have felt, as me and Lenny felt the same after a couple of Corby ones we went to!
Ive been speaking to Lenny about doing a proper private one maybe in February (as a sort of baby head wetting sort if thing) and I've spoken to Alan the manager about it. Just got to set a date for that so I'll keep you posted, that'll be an invite only affair!

Wadz · « **Reply #47 on:** December 31, 2013, 06:47 PM »

Sounds good to me

Was thinking that it was like corby myself

think the main problem was Flo posting it up on their own Facebook wall and not saying enough about it being over 30s only ... you live and learn tho eh!
