[Closed] Monday night pub ride - BMX track night Manchester

Yes please!! (as an irregular MNPR attendee, if any of the more regular riders miss need a place, then I'll bail)

I organised a work trip there earlier in the year, we managed 3 broken bones in the 2 hour session. Our station manager had a word and told me not to organise it again. 😳

You can have my place tthew whenever this is I'll be washing my hair.

Far too much potential for injury on one of them contraptions! 😆

I'd be up for that .

-The one with the beard (just registered)

What about 24th November? Bring your money nxt Monday and get a ticket.

That suits me.

(I'm on nights 😉 )

Sounds awesome, wish I didn't live so far away. Just spent this evening at Rush Indoor Skatepark on my BMX in Stroud. Have a blast!

I'm in for that.Missed open gates on friday and I have previous with the last on the 2nd straight 👿

I’m up for that and so potentially a colleague from work. I’ll confirm ASAP.

I may not be out next Monday as my knee is “Monster Trucked” but I’ll get the money to you somehow.

I'm definitely up for this.

Will there be an ambulance trackside?

Gaze, if it's going to be payment up front, (and IME, that's the right way to do it so you don't end up out of pocket when people don't show) I'll have to paypal it to you or something, as I can't guarantee being out before that night.

🙁
can't do mondays anymore
not that I was more than a MNPR (very)irregular anyway

have fun, post some action videos/injury pics

<edit> having now watched the vid I think this may be a good thing, I foresee myself flat landing between the big doubles and nose diving midway on the rythmn section.
lucky escape there.

Never made it to the MNPRs but will make a special effort for this. I registered there when there was talk a while ago but it petered out. I can do bank transfer or PP for the money.

Just trying to work out who should get my bikes when I die.

I'm in! I'll try not to smash my phone and take half the skin off my side this time!

I want to come just to verify Binners' claims about being an ex-BMXer.

I never claimed I was any good. I'm the same on any bike, regardless of wheel size. Like a pissed hippo on a skateboard

You coming then? As the bikes are supplied, you've not really got the usual excuse! 😀

Can they land the air ambulance in the car park?

Sorry, that was my fault.
I've got several very good, but boring, reasons why it didn't happen.

Genuine apologies.

Where's the poster Binners?

EVERY, and i mean every, ounce of intelligence within my head is telling me that this is a really, really bad idea that will end in tears.

Im 45. wtf am i even thinking of getting on a bmx for?

Still i have got a pair of five tens (down with the kidz i am) so fk it! Lets give it a go!

PS is there a lift to the top of the ramp? 😀

Gaze,let me whenst the funds need to go and I'll PayPal it over.

Oh I'm definitely in!

TAKE MY MONEY!

*makes mental note to create spurious enquiry at the velodrome a week on Monday.

And second mental note to seize the CCTV 😆

Can’t think what will be more dangerous, the BMX or a boozer in Clayton Vale.

Think I’ll just go straight home if medical science allows.

This is a spectacularly bad idea, can any of us actually jump?

I think you probably know the answer to that one already

If you can't jump.I'll push you.
(I actually feel like I should've asked first....before announcing my participation.Etiquette fail 😳 ).

is the date set? Do we need to fill in paperwork in advance like at the velodrome?

Ok it's booked for the 24th. Just need to fill in the paperwork . If you want to pay by PayPal just send me your emails/mobile numbers which are linked to your PayPal accounts and I will then request the monies of everybody or you can give it me at the Mason arms on Monday night.

Good work fella!

I'll bring mine on Monday.

Nice one - I'm assuming it is ok for me to come?

No worries Rusty - I know how it goes sometimes. I've been claiming I might turn up to a MNPR for months!

This is a spectacularly bad idea, can any of us actually jump?

Nope. Just watched that video - I'm absolutely terrified. You know how things normally look worse in real life too....

Do we need to fill in paperwork in advance like at the velodrome?

I believe so yeah.

Sorry my emails in my profile for PayPal payers.

Harry is your mate coming from work ? Just need to get some numbers together I don't won't to over book.

Grim your welcome to come.

I can either email the waver forms and I will also take some to the pub on Monday night.

There is a pre-registration form to fill in, and you don't need to jump, pump is effective, (and hard work).

I'll send my details later Grum. Ta.

You know how things normally look worse in real life too....

Trust me, those jumps are MUCH bigger in real life than they look on video.

This is a spectacularly bad idea, can any of us actually jump?

If anyone actually manages to jump anything I'll buy them a pint 🙂

edit: I'll bring money next week BTW. A mate of mine might be up for it if it's not too late.

I'll tell him that I need his money tomorrow.

That's a great looking track but bares no resemblance to the tracks i used to race as a youth. Make sure someone has i video camera.

It'll be a fitting anniversary ride for me (almost exactly a year ago I broke 2 ribs there!)

Do we need full arm and leg coverage?

Probably not the help you were looking for Harry

How about this for the week after?

I think they've got one in Collyhurst.

There is no ****ing way I would get on a bmx track, but would happily turn up & take photos 😀

They supply elbow and knee pads as part of the package.
