East London Street Jam... POSTPONED DUE TO DEMOLITION OF SPOT!

[paulie]

it's all very last minute, flyer's not been sorted yet.

you may know the spot.... the wallride on old bethnal green road is scheduled for demolition. this isn't bollocks, we've seen the planning application made to tower hamlets for some flats, day care centre etc... so we're having a jam.

saturday 24th november, kicks off around 1ish. the snickers wallride on the corner of old bethnal green road and mansford street, london e2.

we're gonna try to get some home made ramps sorted. but if not we still have a banging wallride, some rails, a hip, and a subwall. plus the mandatory manny pad.

we're getting some prizes and various companies are being contacted. but it's not about points winning prizes, it's about having a laugh before the spot gets demolished.

so get down, it'll be a giggle.

i can't find a pic, but it's the red brick wallride in this vid.

safe man, that'd be good.

it's gonna be very, uh, loosely organised.
we're not really sure how to do it but there's been quite a bit of interest from some riders with various hook ups. i'm kinda jumping the gun by posting about it, but it's less than two weeks away!

as soon as the flyers done (hopefully this weekend) more info will be available.

FASTEST LAP COMPETITION

At Newham, Hackney and Greenwich there will also be a chance to compete in the 'Fastest Lap' competition for a chance to win a great Chain Reaction Cycles Prize!

This will include racing against the clock to record your fastest time of a lap of the track.

All ages are welcome however races will be held in four age categories:

Under 8s / Under 12s / Under 16s / Over 16s

N.B. ELBO (Waltham Forest) and Tower Hamlets BMX track completions are still in progress and so a 'Fastest Lap' competition will not be held on these days.

Please wear long sleeves and trousers if you would like to enter the competition.

Bring your own bike or borrow one of ours.

PLEASE NOTE Non-adults will need parental consent and so please download and complete a registration form at http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/zuvvi/media/Go-Ride_Racing_Entry_Form.pdf to bring with you on the day or send to amy.omalley@accesssport.co.uk
