shore it is not, but some nice stunts and good solid building it is.

i think in looking at those pictures, i figured out what makes the shore, the shore.

very nice work.

Well, well I been movin' down to Florida.
And I'm gonna bowl me a perfect game.
Well I'm gonna cut off my leg down in Florida, child.
And I'm gonna dance one-legged off in the rain.

cool looking stuff.i'd hate to bail into one of those holly bushes:eek:
looks like cool stuff for sure,too bad you don't have alot of cedar but it looks like you're building to the best of you're potential given the location.
keep it up!:)

def not what i was expecting when i opened the pictures.

you guys shouldnt call it 'shore' when referring to the building..but think of a new title to coin to your uk riding environment…start a new trend :)

anyways, nicely done…if i were there, id hit it up

dear DW,
since you got like a million bucks now, can i borrow $2850 for a Revolt frame?

thanks,
steve

That's a lot closer to looking like the actual shore than this stuff:

agree it needs its own name in the UK and its definitely NOT the north shore (no disrespect meant to Shore riders)

its been a quick way of communicating to people what kind of riding it is without having to say "wooden beams holding up wooden bridges with roofing slat runways" or something like that?

the guys from Freeborn who run the park and bike shop all spent time on the real North Shore last year they understand what needs to be done to recreate the intense riding experience u enjoy!

its at Esher, surrey

some people already say "esher shore"

any ideas anyone?

Don't listen to the "that's not what the shore is" comments. They're snobbish, and that's pretty much counter to the what the mindset of the riding is about.

As for the stunts - nice work! Looks like a great place to have fun, and to hone the skills.
