Further to my previous post here, and after a lot of discussion on facebook, the first of the Mountainboard Derby Monday Night Sessions took place!
Kicking off early in Darley Park, I got to the party late with Karl and Kirsty, Matt and family having been down since the afternoon. Phill got there approximately 10 minutes before I did but with the benefit of British Summer Time, I was able to get in a decent couple of hours boarding before it got really, really dark.
The mini ramp as supplied by Jay Langdell mixed things up a bit and as the sun set, relaxed riding interspersed with much chat meant that the evening flew by. For future use, Mat's supplying some football markers so that we have something to aim for rather than just the usual trees etc.
In the scheme of things, Darley Park seems like a good starting point and so far, people seem keen to do something on a regular basis. Maybe it wont always be Darley, and maybe people will prefer another night, but let's see how things go. All in all, it's shaping up to be a great summer!
PS, I've set-up a quick and dirty blog page so that people can see the general plan of action. Read all about it here: http://mountainboard-derby.blogspot.co.uk/
PPS, it was only when it got dark that I thought about taking some photos. Oh well, next time Gadget!
