Woodland for trials riding - Matt (15th Feb 2022 - 22:23:40) I am looking for some woodland to use with my son to teach him motorcycle trials riding ( like Kickstart in the 80s). Is there anyone who could recommend a location or even allow permission? Liphook or 7 miles radius would be amazing. Really appreciate it. Regards Matt

Re: Woodland for trials riding - D (16th Feb 2022 - 08:33:24) Brick kiln Farm, Four Marks. Two good clubs are the Witley Motorcycle Club and the Portsmouth Motorcycle club. They both have events at Iron Hill and Bordon. There are a few byways open to all traffic round here but not of any great length. Hope this helps, hope it's a two stroke. Brrrrrp, brrrrrp!

Re: Woodland for trials riding - Trials (16th Feb 2022 - 20:59:21) Hi Matt, Unfortunately there isn’t anywhere that local any more. The nearest place is Hook Wood Trials Centre at East Horsley. There are also a few clubs for the kids Surrey Youth and Surrey Schoolboys Trials Club. Good luck.

Re: Woodland for trials riding - Trials2 (18th Feb 2022 - 03:54:50) As mentioned above , not much in the way of public access but rhere are some great clubs . Including the ones above North Hants MCC and Bognor are both super relaxed and friendly. You could do a local trial nearly every week. The entry level events are a great way to learn and you see everyone from wobblers , toddlers and older guys on twinshocks. In my experience a great scene and group of peoplle.

Re: Woodland for trials riding - Matt (19th Feb 2022 - 11:16:28) Thanks for the advice. I’ll get in contact with the clubs He doesn’t have an Oset anymore which you can use anywhere. I’ll be getting him a 50cc trials. I’ll keep looking for some woodland nearby too- that’s the important one.

Re: Woodland for trials riding - Jen (19th Feb 2022 - 16:43:34) I hope you find somewhere suitable. Your best bet would probably be to find a local enthusiast who also happens to own some woodland that they'd be willing to let you use. Possibly the clubs mentioned above might have a list of people and places. Whatever you do, please don't use the local nature reserves, commons and wildlife areas, as some other riders have been doing!

Re: Woodland for trials riding - Matt (19th Feb 2022 - 17:49:53) Why would I ride on a nature reserve? I’d do that if I were an imbecile - thus the ask to local trial riders.

Re: Woodland for trials riding - Matt (19th Feb 2022 - 17:55:26) Thank you to everyone’s supportive replies. Great info re clubs and very much appreciated. I thinkI may need to buy a wood….

Re: Woodland for trials riding - D (20th Feb 2022 - 01:42:39) I know it's a bit further than you want but I've ridden Brick kiln Farm myself. They have a purpose built track with woops and burms as well as a wooded area with huge craters. A good place to give your son one-to-one tuition without the distraction of an actual event. Last time I went it was ten quid for very much as long as you want. Go during the week and you'll have the place to yourselves. Off road enduro riding at a young age does make for a better rider on the road when he gets his licence. Have fun.

Re: Woodland for trials riding - Jo (20th Feb 2022 - 11:15:14) There's a couple of places down the 272 aren't there? One on the right not far off the A3, the other on the left just after the West Meon crossroads
