yyyman Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Dear Mark, I am writing to you to ask if you are still interested in helping us evaluate BMX track designs for Thorpe Way? We have 6 possible designs and would be glad to include your comments and preferences in the process. The designs will be made available to appointed evaluators at the City Council Customer Centre on Regent St. every day next week (2nd-6th) and I would like to invite you along. You may wish to bring a BMX colleague, I remember you mentioned your friends who run the website?[JULIAN] If you could let me know what day and time is best for you and I shall make the arrangements. I look forward to hearing from you Best regards Justin JUST GOT THIS BACK FROM THE COUNCIL I WILL GO SEE NEXT WEEK COULD DO WITH A LOCAL TRIALS MAN TO HELP OUT WITH OPINIONS I'M NOT DOING MUCH BIKE TRIALS NOW AS I HAVE 4 MOTORBIKES AND AM RACING SUPERMOTO BEEN INVITED TO SPEND THIS WEEKEND AT BRANDS HATCH WITH cHRISTIAN iDDON NOW THATS VERY COOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wen Bainhouse Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 it looks so sweet definately worth a visit. but it could do with some more streety stuff, some ramps etc. just a bit more flow to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyyman Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 The £200grand contract has been given out http://www.cambridge.gov.uk/ccm/content/co...eighbourhood.en Click here You can now view a poster that illustrates the upcoming changes to the recreation facilities at Thorpe Way. SO we will have the contractors asking what we want!? That was my idea However I dont know anything I think this is a great opportunity All we got is Julian’s plans The councillors will probably refer the contactors to me I will get advice from Jay the BMX man Could really do with some help ideas guidance from a trials man What do you want? Any ideas? Wish Julian was about!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yyyman Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Just got this It’s happening Need some help to get it done Wish julian was here Dear Mark, The team building the new BMX facilities at Thorpe Way would like to give an opportunity for all local BMX/Trails enthusiasts to have an input into how the scheme develops. They have set up the morning of the 21st July, from 8am onwards for any amateur/expert trial's/BMX'ers to visit them on- site to discuss what they would like to see built. The facility aims to provide a BMX/Trails activity for all age groups and levels of experience, providing mixed levels of challenges, whilst remaining safe and maintainable. I would be grateful if you could please pass this message on to other people who enjoy, and have an interest in this particular activity, such as the local experts you mentioned when we last met. I hope you and others will be able to take this opportunity to chat with the constructors and look forward to hearing from you. Best regards Justin Justin Marsh Recreation Officer - Growth Projects Active Communities Cambridge City Council Hobson House Direct Dial 01223 457537 Mobile 07825504428 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggy1230 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Good to see councils finally taking notice of trials instead of finding ways to stop us riding stuff why not make places for us to ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
