It was brilliant - very well organised and kids loved it. Special mention to G, who ran the session and was great! sliceoflight27 February 2025 Hi everyone, I went to the XC -Skatepark today for first time ever to try my dirt jump bike. I couldn't do much things on the bike because I just got into it but I realised there are so many features you can practice and send them properly! I just kept rolling up and down and trying to do 180 on the bike what I did on the end! Had so much fun! Lovely people in there and everyone helpful. Today I met Toulouse he helped me to sign up and explained few things! Great place great stuff! See u soon!Google rating score: 4.3 of 5, based on 631 reviews
