LEON Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I wouldn't recommend a trials gear for the foam pit, it's huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I wouldn't recommend a trials gear for the foam pit, it's huge! Is it? Jeez, does it have a starting ramp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I'm wanting to flip my BMX thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) I was there last Sat, looks like the run in will come down off the top corner of the dirt jumps and they're gonna need a take off of at least 5 or 6 ft to get you up & into the foam. I don't know what the take off will be made of, but from the rim/lip to the floor looks about 7ft. Gonna be a bitch to climb out of!

Jake. Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Sounds mental! Looking forward to it even more now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yeah I had no idea the foam pit would be this big, means I don't have to drive 2 hours to Corby anymore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 That doesn't look like barrow to me? There's a skatepark in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackMeek Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Great news, if you would like to meet JAF Bikes, they will be at RadFest this year bringing new and very interesting parts for all to see. JAF Bikes rider, Flip, is coming along which will be amazing to watch, as those who have seen him ride in person will only know too well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Jack, Sounds a little nit-picky, but might be nice to have a wee section on how to get there. I.e. nearest airport / train station / local towns and amenities etc i am unsure on how I am getting there yet, so as a 'just in case' scenario might be good to have that info. ta ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably going to be very helpful for some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackMeek Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Heatsink Bikes are confirmed and by the sounds of it Heatsink rider Damon Watson is looking forward to his first year at Radfest. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet them in person and Steve the owner of Heatsink is looking at doing some mega offers and prizes over the weekend you won't see the other 362 days of the year. Keep checking back, as soon there will be another brand being confirmed which us at Radfest think a lot of you will like. Can you guess who? After a good suggestion from Ben Travis an update on event info has been done. If you have anymore Q's, just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persistant_itch Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Has anyone got any idea how much it costs to bring a bike by plane? Its only from Ireland? I'd love to go to this! Purely just to meet other trials riders! I don't know of anyone living anywhere near me that rides trials! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 You'd be better boxing it up and sending it as a parcel lol. Prob be cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
