We also had permatubes, but back then there were functional BMX tracks that were a (rather long) ride away, and we built jumps ourselves. So not quite as dismal as you're painting, Odin...

 

But yes, the youff have it good.

Myles, we definitely don't need to improve our skills at the restaurant however, the bike park, jumps gaps that's where we need to be...

 

FOCUS MYLES FOCUS!

I had a skills session here with Chris Nixon about 4 months ago. He's a great guy; very friendly and down-to-earth. He gets right to the point about what you should be drilling into your muscle memory so that you build up the right base for more technical riding. As I understand it, he's overseen the construction of the pump track there too and it's the perfect place to build up skills incrementally. Highly recommended.

He's built everything there... Him and his team.
