Mark W Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Had a ride in Blackpool last night, thought I'd grab some pics. Nice night for it! Stan started off with a tap... Followed it up with a sidehop... Then did a hook. Matt was out too and decided to do a ridiculous sidehop (from the floor straight up to two): ...and also did a smooth up to rear on this: Cap just got a flat... ...and did some maintenance: Apparently someone loves 'Cher'? We headed down to the slopey walls, where Cap did it wrong: While Cap was sorting his bike (and his life) out, Matt did this: And also this, really smoothly, repeatedly: Cap then got amongst it and, after a safety check from Matt, did the gap to the bin: Then did a tag team gap with Matt: After that we hit up some rocks, Matt did some cool stuff, Cap did some front brakeless stuff, and Stan got a flat which pretty much ended the night.

Mark W Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Love it how there all on pures Really good pictures, blackpool looks like a really good place to ride too It is, it's all good! The spots in these pics are literally right next to each other. The first cluster of rocks is at the end of my road here (can almost see 'em from my doorstep), and the walls in the other photos are directly below them. There's about 3 miles or so of the Moon Rocks going from the North Pier up towards my place, then onwards a bit towards Norbreck. So much shit to ride, it's really cool. Can sort of find more TGSy setups, more 'natty' setups and more 'streety' setups too. That's not even taking into account the street too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
