Yep it is a jump park, off road mtb centre with some trails in Penhurst in Kent. Been a couple of times. I prefer chicksands but I guess is closer to you. The riders there are friendly and best if you can hook up with them as it is a bit of a rabbits warren although not essential as it is not that big. They have 4x, loads of little downhill trails, a jump park with all levels etc Here is the _link_ http://www.ukdirt.com/porc/

I took my Stumpy over and felt distinctly underbiked. I did the same and ruined myself financially and in a crime of passion bought a Big Hit III on my return .

love to ride bikes.
spend loads of time riding/building herts shore but also travelling to the alps,canada etc...

hey all....welcome!!!

Hi guys my name is Penfolduk aka Phil, answer to both.

I have been riding with Bigfoot Bike Club for the last year which is fun. I have been to Swinley once so far which I enjoyed. I will be going more often now I have learn't I can get a train to fairly close to the Discovery centre.

I feel I am the poor cousin of all you guiys on got an 07 Trek 6000, it has been upgraded quite a bit and will be getting some new forks soon (either Reba's or Magura Menja's) once I have made my mind up which I want.

Anyway less of me whaffling on. Good to meet at Swinley for those who go some time!

Hiya, I'm Goblinshimmer and have been riding for about 7 years, mainly long days out, putting in the miles over lots of cross country. I've covered the South Downs, Doreset;mainly the Purbeck Isle, Epping Forest, Thetford, Bedgebury and more adventurously over to Wales with some good and not so good results! Time for a new bike!! Over the last year going to lots of demo days trying to find the "right" bike for me, I finally became the proud owner of my Orange 5 ...best thing I ever done to improve my riding and confidence. My climbs are now bigger, but with more ease and my downhills, much faster and the adrenaline more than flows with the single track I have discovered.
The Welsh mountains are now my most favourite places to ride. Have been to Afan, covering Whites Level and The Wall, Cwncarn XC route and the ClimachX. I'm still learning, still smiling and still wanting more...I can even do a wheelie now...well almost!!
That's who I am and what I want to do to keep the thrills...Get Out and Ride!!
