Default Croston closing

Now that croston indoors has closed I wonder if we could purchase their carpet or more importantly purchase their ramps? as they're the best indoor ramps I've raced on. Just an idea if our committee could get hold of mark smith and see if now they're racing on dirt with dirt jumps. Whether or not they would be willing to part with them?

Nice idea Gav but storage may be an issue provided he's willing to part with them at all.

Additionally I feel we have enough carpet, it just has to be layed with thought leaving slippy sections. I think the mix of grip and slip we have at the moment is good.

Well to be honest it's more the ramps that we should be interested in, they're really smooth and well built. And also don't take up a huge amount of space. Surely worth an enquiry? They could even be used at bury outdoor

mark was told on sunday £150 and all the ramps are ours which i think is a bargin as we would have a smaller tabletop for indoors and maybe outdoors and i have raced there once and those smaller ones are also good fun

For £150 worth of materials we could make some pretty decent ramps ourselves.......

We don't physically need the ramps, just to copy the key points. £150 buys a lot of wood!

We could, but are you going to build them Si? Can you have them ready for the next indoor meeting please?
