I guess this counts as a papoy and probably actually more appropriate here than in the proper photography thread

I dont know any riders round here, each time I'm at the park its either empty or scooters. And an icepick on that would be awesome but I'm definitely not capable haha the most you'll get out of me is a below coping "air" and a feeble/smith.

Looks like we're getting another concrete park, opens on June 15th. It's in Kettering so even closer to me!

Respraying cranks, will I get away with just sanding the paint down a bit til its thin and rough then go over with black then lacquer, or do I need to get em raw, primer then the colour and clearcoat?

I'm still yet to get any matching grips, the odyssey ones I have now are too comfy to change just yet.

Ah Leamington Spa isn't too far, I'll let you know if I head over there any time soon. I love pump tracks and that sort of thing.

Went to that concrete park in Harborough earlier, it was fun but I really suck at riding bmx haha. First time I've actually ridden a bowl and just carving around that was really fun. The jump box thing is good as well, rounded lips so hanging up isn't a huge problem. Still suffering the same scooter epidemic as everywhere else though.

It's in Market Harborough in Leicestershire. Used to be a crappy little rough bowl with bad transitions but it seems to have had a re-build.

Is there anyone who makes a u-brake lever with reach adjust? I'm too used to mtbs and hate how far away bmx levers are. I'm far too used to having one finger covering the brake at all times.

Is that a ridiculously boosted grizz over a hip?
