Netherton!! off road bike training.

[ady]

here's a new one for you.
ther's a new freeride/play area opening up in wakefield about 5 mins from horbury bmx track.

it's called the offroad bike traning centre.{ther's a link on the dis-dirt forum but i don't know how to tranfer it over here..doh}
it has a 15 yes a15 set of doubles there building a big set of trails and a downhill run,it sounds like theres going to be a membership to pay {ut i don't know how they'll get around that as it's in the middle of a wood!!}
if there is a fee to ride i can't see it taking off when royds and horbury are in the same area.
there's a website up next week with more details on and i'm going to have a drive over later this week to check it out so i'll keep you posted.

Sounds good, but like you say if you have to pay then people will just carry on with what they are doing now, building their own track and having fun in their local woods.
At least the ideas there. should be intresting, wonder if they will get you to sign a disclaimer in case you kill yourself?

look forward to finding out more, nice one Ady

just had an update about this place,rich & mike checked it out today,it's seriously good.
but by all accounts it's all hush hush at the moment and the lad who told us about it is gunna get a right fcuking.

[Knacker]

I think I saw the thread!!! But it appears to have gone!!
Did look good though!!

[ady]

yeah rich removed the thread, i went up today, and it's well worth the trip out.after seeing it i can understand why they want to keep it quiet at the moment 'cos it's huge.

there's a big dh run that's just switch back, tabletop switch back,tabletop,switchback,rollers...etc,etc.it's not too extreme just very tech.

a massive rhythm section and a smaller set running side by side.

it's proper freeride.

hopefully something will be made public soon if it's open for easter.

i'll keep you updated.

Nice1 I can see a few mini road trips in the not to distant future.

[Wingnuts]

I could do with a few days out riding!!

Ive been cr*p all week with my asthma & Im desperate to get out & have some fun !!

A question moving away from the subject slightly........

What does everyone think to the new Specialized Demo 8 bikes ?? I think that could be the replacement for my trusty Orange Patriot in the near future!

[Knacker]

Ell has a demo8 and its VERY nice!!!!

[ady]

it sounds like this training centre is almost ready to go,the blokes behind it have put a column in the wakey express{local rag} they have stuck there e-mail adresses up for membership [e-mail] and john@orb-training .co.uk plus they have a website{might be something worth nicking off it fatknacker.lol}..www.orb-training.co.uk it looks quite promising.they have bike hire/safety equipment hire and there talking of sponsoring 6 rider to compete at nationals the pictures on the website don't do it justice the trails are massive the lads who built royds also built these if you've ever been to royds you'll know what i mean.
