Summary:
Pro-level BMX track but not publicly accessible

Review:
The track is good but it's not publicly accessible. Can only be used if you attend a session (or scale the fence with your bike :D). This means it is kept well and keeps participants safe but you can't just go at any time. You can only ride with full-face helmet and pads. These can be provided along with bikes. Staff are friendly. The track is tiring but Team GB pros make it look easy.

Summary:
fantastic for younger riders (under 10's)

Review:
Great value for money council run track. Bikes and full kit available for under a fiver. Track is fenced and supervised by friendly staff so you can leave the rider in a secure safe environment and take your toddlers into the park

Review:
i'd never riden a race track before, i thought the surface was a bit too rough, but jumps are really fast and fun!
i messed up my brand new Specialised P2 within an hour of being there, came up short on the triple at the end of the first straight, dinted the rim, snapped 3 spokes, bent handlebars, twisted crank spindle haha whoops!

really improved

Review:
they've done loads of work on it recently and it's a great spot if you don't live too far away. All levels can take part - the website's got all the details for times and races etc. There's usually a pretty good turn out if the weather's good but sometimes you can get the whole place for yourself. Also there's a good skatepark next to it if you want to give that a go aswell.
