Yup, we go there every weekend. I got a pit bike and store it in the Park. But u can rent for the park if you have one. Full protective gear is provided.

Give me a shout if you plan to go.

Hi AK47,
There were two families attending the clinic last weekend. Sat was Thomas & family, Sunday was Mr Singh and family. It was Thomas' younger son's first attempt. and he could climb hill already!

We are also very proud of Mr Singh's sons, age 10 and 11 respectively.

They are have posted photos on their facebook. I am sorry that i left my camera in the Park.

Photos posted by Mr Singh's family:

Testimonial by Thomas's sons:

All very nice pictures.... but where is the SAFETY??????????????

In the pictures i see children riding with SLIPPERS!! :mad: :mad:

Basic safety for riding bikes STARTS WITH wearing the proper gear,

and sure NO SLIPPERS!!! :x :x

One little fall can easily cause lost of a couple of toes, not to mention other serious injuries!!

RULE #1 = SAFETY FIRST!!!!

RIDING CLINICS = RESPONSIBLE INSTRUCTORS!!

RESPONSIBLE INSTRUCTORS = SAFETY FIRST AT ALL TIMES!!

SAFETY FIRST = NO SLIPPERS, AND PROPER RIDING BOOTS!!



BE RESPONSIBLE, BEFORE YOU ASK PEOPLE TO JOIN!!

My dear NC30,
Do not be so angry before u find out the truth!

If you ask properly, we will answer to your worry.

First and foremost, the client just took the bumboat and show up at our centre and requested to join the ride. Would you turn them away, by asking them to take the bumboat back to Singapore? To disappoint your customer??

Thus, we did safety control by limiting the speed and only permit the rider to ride on soft round.

Respect is earned. We earn our respects from our customer because we try our best to help them.

post2kc,

You are dangerous. Yes, you should have sent them packing. Who would be more disappointed if you had to send the client back to Singapore on a stretcher or worse, in a casket.

If you are the one who made this decision to let this person ride unsafely, then you, hopefully, will be held accountable for their welfare. Limiting speed and riding on soft ground is pure BS and you know it. You, or whoever allowed this to happen are irresponsible, full stop!

You are right about one thing though. Respect is earned. You just lost any respect you might have garnered with that totally unsafe practice. Hopefully, you will not get any more regulars here on your escapades as we don't want to read about them in the papers.

However, as I've been just waiting on you to reveal yourself fully as an advertiser as I have suspected all along. It was just a matter of time and now that you finally have, I am now shutting you down here.
