Monday night pub ride – BMX track night Manchester

really wanna but not gonna, cos I know it will end badly for me! Lol
not rode a Bmx for sooooo long 🙁

Well, if it’s any consolation to anyone who’s fearful of dying – I’m going and the last time I rode a BMX was in 1988 (I was eight)

I did manage a ramp with 4 bricks 🙂

Yeah, I’m probably going to die aren’t I?

Yup! painfully and slowly, Enjoy 😆

haha

at least you have ridden a BMX before.

The closest i have come was playing on someones chopper in the woods once, a very long time ago!

Just to clarify…

Yeah, now this one is out too, for me!

I just fell a couple of meters onto my thumb, the palm muscle is buggered.

At least this one is free.

Just shown The Wife the video in the OP.

On reflection probably not the wisest of ideas.

Show her this. No jumping involved here and it looks a little more realistic for us lot…. (although still faster than we’ll be doing it)

A lift from Tod might be good if that’s ok Clover. I’m in Hebden.

It sounds like Rorschach might actually be competent at this kind of thing, which is just not on really.

Just paid for the bmx night if you haven’t been before you need to register using this link .

Is there a responsible adult on here that can sign binners’ and wittonweavers’ parental consent forms?

Thumb, day 3. I’m so disappointed, I can’t stand any pressure on my palm at all. The bruise is spreading up my wrist, I’ve ruptured vessels on the root of the thumb.

Ouch.

Bloody hell that looks a damn sight worse than mine in march. And that kept me off the bike for two months!

Hope it heals fast mate.

Oh, I put this on youtube from last time I went, slipped my mind until just now.

Never knew that had such nice tracks like that for bmx …..

Looks well fun …

Have fun on this, it’s an awesome track and you’ll all be fine if you listen to the coach. Am pretty sure I overheard a guy telling coach Toby about this on one of the Sat PM sessions this weekend gone?

That was me

Ah, hello. I only heard the end of what you said so it didn’t click until I saw this thread yesterday. You’ll be able to show everyone else how to do it 🙂

Gaze: I’m in if there’s space and will bring money tonight.

gofasterstripes:
OUCH 🙁

Really hope that heals quickly, see you soon.

Thanks to everybody who paid on Monday night all place have now been taken.If you not been before please fill out the registration form , there’s a link up there ?. You can use your own equipment.
For beers afterwards I can bring beers or go to the church inn I am not added.

Argh! only saw this as I’ve been away for 3 weeks.

Bugger.

Let me know if there are drop outs and I can jump in and take it. I can ride over from home 🙂

Post ride drinkies and bragging anyone?

Church Inn[/url], Prestwich. M25 1AJ

It is in the route back for anyone travelling North and is within a mile of J17 on the M60

Am i mental for thinking about parking my bike up in that neck of the woods?

Was going to have a blast round Clayton Vale on the mtb after work beforehand

Obviously i’m mental for riding it home round the fallowfield loop afterwards, but i’m prepared for that

I wouldn’t worry scaled. If you leave it outside the velodrome, you won’t be riding it home. 😕

Why not bring it inside with you?

What time you going round Clayton Vale? I might join you. Clover said there’d be space in her van to store bikes if necessary. Dunno how many though. Taking them inside could also work I reckon if they’ll let you and I don’t see why they wouldn’t.

Not sure I’d want to leave anything visible in the back of a car either.

Yes you have a point. What’s the score then with taking them in?

Not sure I’d want to leave anything visible in the back of a car either.

Indeed. Went to ride at Clayton Vale one day mid week around 12 months ago. Parked at the velodrome and noticed a Renault Espace parked alongside with a nice road bike in the back.

When I got back from the ride there was a nice road bike shaped hole in the rear window and the local cops were taking details from a very miffed owner.

There’s plenty of bike storage under the starting gates , I carnt see it being a problem if u leave them there.

I was going to head over from town between 5 and half past, do a couple of laps then head to the BMX track

If anyone fancies a post work ride at CV I’ll join in!

Roll call for tonight , is everybody still in ? No dropouts.? If thier are anybody who carnt make it let us now and I will try to get your place covered and your money back. See you all laters.

Locked and loaded.

Full face lid dusted off. Ambulance booked. Ready for action 😀

Yep – as ready as i will ever be!

Don’t forget the postcode for your sat navs

M13 9WL

I’ve got some sort of lurgy but I think I’m going to drag myself along anyway. What could possibly go wrong?

Me and the bloke from work are both still in.

Both of us are carrying lower leg injuries and I was told by a physio last night to do nothing for a month.

What could possibly go wrong?

If anyone can’t do it- I’ll volunteer.
