Hola, just wondering if anyone on here who's still a beginner/ early intermediate rides at the Chillfactore in Manchester? I'm just looking for a few people to share improvement sessions with and stuff; I learned with my girlfriend but she's not taken to it quite as much as me, and the other mate I have who rides is way better than me and think he gets a bit bored unless the freestyle stuff is up.

I'm still really a beginner, can do turns and just starting to learn some of the stuff needed for freestyle.

Hey guys, good to hear there are some other beginners at CFE hopefully taking some of the heat off me riding so bad ha ha.

I’m gonna be over there next week one morning, I usually go in morning or Thursday night freestyle but could catch up on slope over a weekend. I’m also looking for some people to ride/advance with or even compare bruises with, those rails HURT!!!

Never been to Castleford; I live in Manchester so it's really easy for me to get to the Chillfactore and I have a memebership there now etc.

I usually go once a week at the moment if I can; either after work around 7pm midweek, or on the weekend depending what I've got on.

Hopefully going to go down on Saturday if I can....

I went to CFe last sunday for the first time. It was empty. Had a great night, though I decided that I suck at boarding lol

When are Chill Factore getting their freestyle gear back out? Not that it ever seems to be out on anything other than a friday night I'm gonna be up that way again the weekend after this one.
