UKBikePark Uplift 29th Dec!!
« on: December 02, 2007, 11:07:18 AM »

Uplift at the Bike Park on Saturday the 29th of December

Numbers limited to 80. Details of how to book and find the park on the website (see sig).

Escape the family and come out and show off all the shiney new kit Santa brought you, forget the weather, chances are if your reading this then your part of the hardcore who doesn't just pack the rig away when things get a little wet!  Tongue

Plenty of winter 'gnarl' to be had up on the hill!!!

'Ave it!!!  Grin

Still only £20 last chance at this price, going up to £25 next year! (when we figure out how make the trucks run on thin air, we can drop the price back down again  Grin)

Just one truck running with the big bike specific trailer, we'll run the smaller 4wd + trailer too if get over certain number.

The other truck will be in a thousand pieces by then having a winter strip down....(and I thought doing my bike was a hassle!!)

There's even steeper and scarier parts up there!  :'(

Yup membership and racing will be on the up too, tis the way of the world I'm afraid, we're working on tons of new riding stuff at the park this winter, which should soften the blow and more than justify the increase.

Time to hammer out that pay rise!  Grin

The track has been agree'd by the Forestry Commission, they are going to fell approx'  60 trees within' the next month or so, then we go in with a 360 Excavator to build on the old X-up track. We'll bring the start of the 4x right back up by the main entrance. The local trail crew (Stillgotsomelegs, responsible for H.S.E!) will probably then put a DH link in off the end down to somewhere like 'Love Humps' on Lower 'Devil's Dyke'

We are campaining for a excavator jump trail built ( alla A-line) off the end of the 4x but that's pending planning for the whole site .

That extra fiver won't be so bad then eh??  Grin

i think fair play for the extra fiver, hopefully myself and Kieran will be down there on the 29th for some Dorset uplift action. Stop moaning Sam and get your parents to fork out a bit extra for your adrenalin kicks you muppet  Tongue

You tw*t.... Smiley

I do admit i loved every minute i was there! Everything's so much nicer when its cheaper. Wink Haven't been down there in quite a few months, so haven't had a chance to ride the new stuff. I have no doubt in my mind they are all excellent tracks like the ones i rode last time.

Bio-Diesel maybe?  Roll Eyes

Can the farmer claim the vehicles are his farm vehicles?  Red Diesel then?
