Ok, so here is our first post for the ‘City Trails’. Got a few pics from the last few months ranging in quality, bit of digging bit of riding. Currently we have 3 Seperate lines running which all start from a small double then right hip which leads to:
Step up line (12ft bottom to top) with a low set then hip leading into it
Six pack/Trick line
Main line, Left Hip Right Hip, Stright set, left hip.
The main line has another 2 sets after but they need some TLC and the step up line will have a six pack following it which is under a rebuild. The trick set has a double burn line after it and the jury is still out on where its going but we have some cool ideas.

I have some polaroids of when Merlin and I started these trails, about 4 years a go now, at the time we figured the area was too tight for any more than one line! Obv not the case now…

I take it thats Chris Gordan?! Don’t know if you’d remember me… Merlin and Co. used to call me silver helmet boy! haha I used to ride the Norwich Park a lot back in the day.
It would be cool to see some old pictures of the to see how much they have changed. We’ve been digging there for about 1 1/2 years now. If your ever back in town you should pop by. Merlin visited in the winter without a brake which isnt advisable as there isnt really any room to pull out any more!

‘Ello! Yeah it is… The infamous Silver helmet boy! ha, of course I remember with that name…
I will see what I can russle up picture wise, I had some good footage too but it was all lost when my laptop and HD were stolen, rubbish.
In the polaroids I have the jumps are pretty small and the place looks like a jungle, think I was only in Norwich for 9 months so just wanted to build something quick and easy.
The place looks real good now, I can barely work out the old lines, def want to pop back sometime and ride them…. Merlin needs to get a brake!
Goood work man.

Tis I! I totally forgot about that name until I got back on my stunt cycle. Those were the days, not a care in the world!
That sucks about your laptop. If you do manage to rustle anything up and it makes its way on to a pc would you be able to pop a couple over ? Would be good to do a small edit to show how its evolved. Its changed loads this winter. we’ve put a lot of effort and its been so worth it. Your welcome anytime, just drop me an email when and if your gonna come down.
