Nope. On a corner down cockanes lane theres a little path leading off and you just follow that into the woods and the jumps are all over in the woods.

I live in Basildon Essex any one know some trials suitable for bmx's which are fairly easy for a beginner ? I prefer park but want to get into some dirt jumping Smile
Also any good skateparks to visit would be willing to travel up to a hour if there good..

Are these jumps for locals or is it cool for new people to ride them also is there any small jumps that would be OK for beginners.

I dunno, there not mine. I've only been there once but I'm sure it'll be cool. There is a few smaller jumps for beginners but most of the jumps are pretty big. If you're traveling a long way to ride them then it wouldn't really be worth it as there are only about 5 small jumps and there not exactly smooth.

Ya I went to Arlesford the big line had been blocked by a wall of dirt but the two medium jumps were quite flowy and pumpy but on the second one the landing needed to be way higher or longer but it was a nice day Smile

Also theres a quarry next to it and found some sweet roll ins and drops

Cool. Sorry I couldn't come down. I wondered if it was worth going over to the quarry. The drops wouldn't be much fun on rigids anyway Razz

Yeah the quarry was fun Smile On a full squisher fo sho. I did like the two mediumish djs though quite flowy just need to build that 2nd landing.
