any track plans?

hi, is there a uplift on sat? as in dirt it said that there is not

also if there is can i use my free uplift pass on the sat that i won last year and how do i book it if i can use it.

thanks harry

Yeah theres an uplift on the saturday, just turn up with the pass you won and we'll sort you out....

As for track plans, we like to try and use the whole park for racing so I'd get thinking about the ones we havent used already, I'm sure it'll be one of them   :)

would love 2 see devils dyke (the course from rd2 last year i think?)

 ;)

We'll definately be using that one at some point........all the better if it's wet!  ;D

yeah last year was crazy! just like champery! ;D

cheers ali

yer that was one of the best tracks i rode last year without a doupt, USE IT  ;D ;D ;D ;D

nooooooooooooo use HSE and a different start other than wiggly woo or use that off camber one like behind HSE which didnt have a name

90% Certain we'll be using, shhhh!........ Devil'sDyke   served up with the usual mods and tweaks to get it all primed for racing. The start will still be off the big ramp! The new berm section will also be in there....

HSE and the other track behind it (Andy's Steep Track!) will both hopfully feature later in the series, the reason we're not using them yet is so we don't keep moving the timing cable between the two different finishes ( it's easily damaged...)

I think i went dwn h.s.e on the uplift before rnd 1 in the wet ! Must say some sections were very steep, once you fell off you ended up at the bottom in a big pile :)

sweet, i love that track

whats the deal with the landing of he bottom road gap, where does it go now the berm is gone

You'll be going down the new berm bit, missing the humps  :'(, coming out in the top corner of the bowl and cutting across from there, we still got tons more work to do on the old gap...

Dunno why I'm telling you all this Ash, you probably won't find it till it's all taped  ;) ;D

its all good ali, i found that one with the berms

woop love the devils dyke  ;D

is devils dyke the track where theres one corner towards the bottom with some harsh roots on it? i completly loose my bearings when im at uk bike park!

I am owed £18 from the 4x race, can I get that taken off race entry?
ta

Pm'd ya....

will there be mini biking on saturday again? me and Leon are camping this time, should be good fun!

 ::) If we have more than 3 mini bikes on site, we'll be racing!

awesome! can't actually wait!
can anyone race? mini bikes that is

Yep, if you can ride it, you can race it!


(call it £7:50  ;D)

If your gonna bring your own.... The customised ones seem to go faster!

Ill find one from the heap at work!

watch out sams got a nice flourescent 14"wheel bike now!!! so count him in for some minibike madness ::)

Try your local tip I picked sams up for a fiver!!

is the website down or something because everytime i go onto the website, nothing comes up-www.ukbikepark.moonfruit.com is what i used but i cant get my online entry through...
any info would be helpful thanks!

http://www.ukbikepark.com/

works fine for me.

EDIT: well it did, now it doesn't anymore so dunno whats going on.

The website seems OK to load at the moment (with me) but it can be a bit temperamental. It's not a real website using HTML but a large flash document, therefore you need a flash player to be able to view it properly.

If need any more help let me know..............

cheers mate, just had to send another £60 your way for the racing thats all..hope i can get my bike sorted in time now..

can i use a mini bike that has 20 inch wheels?
J

i wouldnt class that as mini  :D

Too big to compete as a mini, but you can still bring it along to goof around on!

Why is it called devil's dyke?

Because that part of the hill is called 'Cross Dyke' on the OS map, so we just changed it around a bit to Devils Dyke (sounds a bit more scary.......  ;)  )

boom! im there mini bike in all!! can idothe race on the mini bikethe proper dh race that is?

Sure your more than welcome to mini bike the whole park!

Just don't do yourself in!!  ;D

haha sweetill wear me armour it a be giggles.. think ill do a first propper runn and a runn on the mini bike.. will get some chuckles

HSE is the locals favourite mini bike trail...

that would be undescribebably savage on a minibike

ive been riding the local on a raliegh recently.. pretty flat out i must say been beating locals on there trick ht's! done a big double yesterday and cranks bent to the frame haha bend em back its all good i say

how about an old school klunker styley race down the uplift track?? (without the trucks coming up) wooly hats, jeans, jumpers, tashes', just like the marin county boys!

i'd love to give dark side a go on a minibike :P

shame mine got destroyed a while back, although the bars always twisted around if i turned to sharply!

Been down there.....a bit drunk  ::).......in the dark.......and crashed on 'the' corner  ;D

It'd be a good track!

yeah well up for a klunker race
maybe not  at this round but surely in the future.  maybe raise some money for stephen murray fund ?

All set now for a top weekend, the track's gonna be great! Your getting short changed if your not riding 'The Dyke' in the wet!!  ;D

It's not actually too bad, we do need all those roots nice and slippy to sort out the real racers (if you got the balls, you'll cut the time...). The track has had a couple of last minute tweaks to keep you regulars on your toes, most of it should be taped by now too. Looking forward to finally racing myself sunday (if I can remember how to ride a bike), think my body armour is still in a bin liner somewhere from France last year..........ain't I going to be the popular one in the uplift truck!! :P 

is DT11 0SF the postcode of the park?

cheers h ;D

Oooooo Ali's racing, another contender in the old mans category.

shame about the bike though mate, need something a bit faster i reckon  :P

 ;D

Bagsy sitting next to Ali in the truck.
Will be just like being sat on the chairlift again.

S

wicked idea! ;D

That would be good, like an uplift day for it or something, although it could be hard to find the balance between using the uplift fees to pay for petrol/food etc, and using the money to donate to the stephen murray fund

that was such a good track i loved it!
next time i go there for a day i will ride that one first!
