  15. AHHHHH, i understand what you mean now hahaha, sorry you didnt really explain what you were saying. Ok yer, i get you..but your missing something.. In a years time...you will be better, you will come back, do lines that you struggled with this year, and then then do bigger better lines, that you wouldnt of bothered looking at or tryed this year. As for new sections, yes i presume there will be a few more bits to ride, as Mick, is always looking for ways to improve the place and give more choice of what to ride on BUT..Please remember, This takes time and effort, and also MONEY. Money, that really isnt there to be honest. Do you think the guys are sitting at home now throwing £50 notes around there front room, from all the people that paid for radfest?? No. I can garentee you this...for the time and effort involved, im sure they'd rather not bother and have an easy life. After all of the outgoing costs, they really dont make a great profit. The box section, that was new for this year, I wont lie, it must of had about 60 hours of work put into it. Transport, Construction, Stability, Painting, Gripping. ( and litrally only a handful of people helped..Could count the amount of people on 1 hand ) Please remember, the centre is only open at weekends, and everyone involved has a 9-5 job, monday-friday, and then at weekends, they bust there gut to make an even better place for everyone to ride. People who just come along, and say..'ahh i want better stuff next year' , i think are abit disrespectful. I don't understand how anyone could be dissapointed. I ride there, 2-3 times a week, and im not bored of the place... every time i go there, i find a new line to ride. Can you say that about your local riding spot?? Do you find a new spot everytime you ride? No, you ride the same old wall/flowerpot/bench, continuously. Ok, yes youve travelled along way..I understand that..You came by train..the most expensive form of transport..excellent, then got a cab..second most expensive form of transport excellent..( Thats not our fault? )Surely a car full of people and bike rack would of been much cheaper option, when the petrol is split. Food and drink?? Well yes, are you telling me you dont pay for food and drink, anywhere else you go?? Ha. Am i being harsh?? No, im being a realist and someone who passionate about a sport and a location that is there for TRIALS RIDERS TO ENJOY! The guys that run it, arnt doing this to line there pockets. There doing it, to make a great facility for trials riders to ride.
  16. Im still lost? Your after diffrent sections/zones?? So, Tyres, sleepers, cotton reels, boxes, rocks, pipes, logs, metal boxes..., Correct me if im wrong, i might be..i was there about an hour ago...Are they not all diffrent zones?? Am i reading this wrong?? LOTS of hard work goes in to get this stuff for all you people to ride..and people still find something to moan about..amazing! 2 days wasnt long enough?? People where there first thing friday morning...so they had 3 full days riding. Also...Your MORE than welcome to come down any weekend ( and camp )...It is open other weekends, other than radfest.
  17. Either this is sarcasm..or you didnt bring your glasses??
  18. Thats a Switzerland squeaker..Not a G-turn
  19. Having done lots of demos ( about 50.., 10 of them were with Ben, and 2 with Jack ) in the past 2 months, i know how hard it is to impress the general public. Doing a 30" sidehop or a 50" sidehop. Its the same to the general public. The same with gaps/drop gaps.. Its all well and good saying doing a 12ft drop gap...you think it would make any diffrence over an 8ft drop gap. No.. If there only seeing it once...they no no diffrent. The guys did great. Well done Ben and Jack. ( Jack, you could of atleast had a shave!! ) Trials will never win a competition like this, it just isnt exciting enough. Its not a spectator sport!
