It features - HUGE between 15-20ft (no good wit numbers) Halfpipe. 7 ft Midi with extension, small spined midi, launch box (3.5ft quater to flat to flat bank) drive way with grind rail and coping. Mini spined launch. Largish manual block. Peace.

• I dug the jumps at the back of the park and ride in Newbridge, although they have got a lot smaller since the grannies have been bashing them in. I might do some more work on them over the summer though. The Park has some ramps and stuff, but it tends to be invaded with crap skater kids and little ones who have just taken the stabilisers off their bikes. Great for posing until you hit 18 though. The jumps called 'The Tumps' by many on Odd Down is an old 80s BMX race track. I used to work on the lips there, but now they have become a little smooth for my liking. Also bear in mind that BMX race tracks are built for racing, not for air time. There have been some small jumps made at the back, where people have dug a huge hole and made jumps either side of them. Only jump them if you are sure you won't die. There are also a couple of trails in the woods behind. There is a mountain bike trail off the cycle path between Bath and Saltford. It is pretty easy to find, and is better now as so many people ride it that it is more of a motorway than it used to be. Which is nice for me, as I added a couple of sections to it. On the last section where you head down the huge hill, make sure you don't flatten any families when you come back onto the cycle path, will you? The Larkhall jumps are quite frankly the dogs bollocks. We built them about 6/7 years ago now, and there is a really good scene down there. You won't do them all straight off, as some of them are really huge. But there are some sweet lines to take. There is a spade in one of the bushes, and when you have done some riding, do some lip work. It is just common respect. And if you see someone riding a Huffy with a spade strapped to their back, chance are you have found me. I am not so much of a rider as a dirt digger!
• There's some PROPER bmx jumps in larkhall. You gotta ride out towards the BYPASS and at the LAST pedastrian corssing you get to there is a road head ing RIGHT (if your facing the bypass) go down it just follow it round until you get to a small bridge go over it and you will see the jumps on your right. Also look at the skate spot bit for good street spots
