thanks for all the positive replies and advice, and apologies for not posting back sooner but the surfs been up!
mike… the boy rides at cornwall bmx club primarily, they do excellent training with the kids and are really good with them. we also like the track out at portreath but if i ride, and by the time i’ve paid for diesel to get over, its a bit of an expensive session.
rhys, thanks for the offer. may well take you up on that. one of the guys from cornwall bmx also emailed me after seeing this thread so i think i’m rapidly painting myself into a corner here and will have to get something sorted in a couple of months time and give it a go.
dialed bikes… who are they then, any good? ; )
