Any members into Trials bike riding? my daughter has a Trials bike and really enjoys it, i have taken her to a few local spots where she can practice, she is doing fine for the length of time she has spent riding it, would be good for her to join a local club, there used to be a club years ago that met up at Bash Con club, anyone know if it's still going?

Dunno about local clubs, but there are a whole bunch of guys gather in the quarry at the side of the A56 near Mitchel House Res. Seems to happen about 1 Sunday every month. Land owner is a guy named Neil Williams, has a farm / riding school. Must be in the P.B. somwewhere. Sorry I have no more details.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Cruesermik.
We have ventured up by Mitchel house res a few times, a bunch of us were asked to leave not too long ago, i was under the impression that the land belonged to the Water board but it seems not.
Finding somewhere to ride was not a problem when i was a kid, how times change.
We have been going up around the old Huncoat power station on a Saturday afternoon, we aint had any agg up to press.

Mini Moto....
We took a look at the Blackburn carting centre the other night it's just behind Blackburn railway station we had a short session on the Mini Moto bikes, it was great fun, i had a job to fit on the thing, was good fun all the same, if anyone fancies Mini Moto or Carting i can recomend it....minimum cost is £10.00 per head, we came away saying "when we going again" they also have kid's Quad bikes for hire...

Hey Bluesmaster,
Sorry to hear you were asked to leave the quarry.    

Was that everyone that was there or just some of you ?
Niel Williams was very much into trials riding a few years ago, and I thought it was all going on with his blessing.
I had just seen the guys going at it on my way to and from home, and knowing he was the landowner it just seemed right up his street.
I don't think it is still going on at Green Howarth, I work with a bloke who was one of the organisers, he's in China at the moment, with Wingy as a matter of fact.
I'm into off-roading and don't know much about the local trail / trial bike riding but I'd be surprised if youare the only one on this forum who is interested in bikes.      :-/ :-/
