daevh Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hudu, have they changed bole hills recently? spotted this pic on your website and its looking very different to last time i went (which will have been ages ago now...). looks like they've fillled the middle in and the jumps look smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudu Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 The bolehills has had a recent re-vamp and re-surface for the summer. We have built a new mini track in the centre for nippers/beginners. Well worth a visit, so much stuff to ride for all abilities. And we've mad most stuff much bigger! Club nights thursdays at 6pm as I mentioned - plus we have a round of the Midland Region Series up there on 4th July. LOads of places to ride around Sheff. The Wincobank one is another one that I built too. Message via the dirtsociety site for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hudu Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Its all good. Lots people tend to ride both, myself included. Much prefer the bmx though, far more dangerous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor_Boyd Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 yeah... was watching some of the bmx riders in the devonshire ramps a while back and they are pretty insane. there is something about hitting a ramp / drop at about 30mph that is my bag though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudu Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 ..,35 mph will come in useful on a few of the Bolehill jumps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
