andy_n Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 does anybody know if you need anything to actually make a club / organise a regualr bashing spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigellumley Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 to make a proper club i think you would need to register it as a proper non profit organisation. dont think theres any laws stopping having an unofficial club. that place in guiseley sounds like a good place to go, only problem is if someone complains to police (unlikely). i should be there next saturday morning & will try and get my mate to join. (2 of us up for joining local club btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris52 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 hi all went down to the yeadon bmx track this morning. there was a couple of other lads there i knew. lasted about an hour when i took the the first hump to fast hit the second one face first and broke both front shockers. one of the other lads also bent his rear drive shaft on the same hump.still never mind only £7.68 for new shock shafts for the 777. shame modelsport dont supply for kyosho as there only round the corner. hoping to go there again next weekend so i might meet some of you lot there. do any of you ever go to the all weather pitch oposite the comet and currys stores at guiseley, ive been there a few times and it a good place to get some speed up. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigellumley Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 ive not been there for a long while. last time I went it was covered in loose gravel. may be worth heading down. would be easy to make a ramp on it & decent jumps. i will be there next saturday morning. at a similar time. with a toolbox. gonna try and get my mate to come along. should be fun.

andy_n Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 iv had a reply from the council about the bmx track and its a no no this is what he had to say I understand why the BMX site at Yeadon might be ideal from your perspective for your hobby. However, the track was built for BMX'ing and any other formal use of the track would lead to conflict between user's and may cause accidents. I'm afraid therefore that I cannot approve your request, so iv sent him a reply asking about the car park which wiseman was talking about as it is a good size and good location.

nigellumley Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 heh. dont need r/c cars to cause accidents on that bmx track. its lethal on its own. Theres bags of spare land around the pond. could see about getting one built there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
