Fool's Day Bash - 1 April 2007
Click images for larger versions

Take me to the photos

Despite the chilly weather today's bash was a great success. There were a good selection of retailers there (Sidwell Cycles, Richard's Bikes, Braking Wind, Bikus, Hot Pursuit, Saddles & Paddles and maybe a few more... - Let me know if we missed you out!), with a huge range of demo bikes available for test round a specially marked out 'demo loop' - This was a rare opportunity for prospective customers to ride 5 or 6 similar bikes along the same trail to make a direct comparison, and there seemed to be plenty of people making the most of it.

The Okefreeriders guys showed their stuff on their portable Northshore rig, and Andrei Burton did it his way - Trackstanding at the edge of an 8-foot drop before balancing on his rear wheel and then jumping across to land on the exit ramp - Amazing stuff.

The guys from Haldon Freeride were also there, spreading the word about trail building at Haldon and rallying support for their Sunday morning trail building sessions.

There was also plenty of stuff for families, with plate spinning and juggling for kids, as well as rickshaw rides and an adventure play area.

All in all a great day, and something which will hopefully be repeated sometime during the Summer (when it's a bit warmer!).
