Looking to get down to Platt Fields park over the next few weeks to work on jumping / pumping. Anybody go there regularly? I’m a bit worried I’m going to be laughed out of the place by the local BMX crewz….

I work around tha area and nip into the park now and again – its generally empty from what i’ve seen…..

The areas a bit rough though

Go down for a Thursday 6-9pm/Saturday 3:30/6 pm, Manchester BMX Club session. Members £2, non menbers £3.

Very welcoming bunch down there.

As far as the area goes, park closer to the club as there is no lighting in the carpark. Never had an issue but better to be safe than sorry.

Phunk – thanks. I’m on a FS MTB, is that suitable?

Hopefully get down there on a Sunday sometime soon.

It will be harder work than a BMX or hardtail but drop the saddle, stiffen up the suspension a bit and you’ll be good to go.

For council sessions I would show up half an hour after they say they will be there as I have often found them to be running a little late.
