Ride It Out & Silverline Presents The Box
We ran it last year and such was its success we are running it again this year but this time the Box is bigger and better.
What is The Box?
The Box is everything you need to make the most of your race weekend. It is a way to make sure Grass Roots and Amateur racers get the support they need at both the BDS and National Champs. Traveling half way across the country to nail one good race run and then suffering a mechanical is pretty devastating if you haven’t got the tools or expertise needed to get yourself rolling again. So, we’ll give you the help, advice and maintenance you need should you have a problem.
What’s on offer?
• Free of charge bike maintenance for all riders
We’ll have a ton of tools thanks to Silverline and a heap of expertise with a couple of top mechanics to get your bike back in the start gate.
• Professional bike set up advice and racing tips
We’ll be able to offer you a whole heap of advice and tips should you need it.
• Seating area
We’ll have a full seating area for you to come and relax, have a chat, a laugh or shelter from the inevitable rain.
• Evening barbeques
We’ll have the BBQ lit come Saturday evening for some much needed race fuel – Burgers, Hot Dogs (we are not Dieticians)
• Evening movie screenings
To get you fired up for race day we’ll get some Downhill or Moto vids on the TV. Come join us for a few beers and some classic entertainment. If you fancy it, we might even pop on something without bikes!
• Phone charge station
Not much fun being stranded in the middle of nowhere with a dead phone. Need it charging? No Problem, we’ll get it boosted back up for you.
• Area situated in pro pits
We’ll be in the Pro Pit so come and be a pro for the day.
Who are we?
Paul Burford. If you don’t know Paul, you should. He is one half of BTR Bikes and has more bike set-up and mechanical knowledge than he knows what to do with. He’s also pretty damn handy on a bike.
Rob Lewis. Rob’s done it all, from being a pretty talented rider to being a Bike-Shop mechanic to now being the man behind Ride.io There isn’t much he doesn’t know about bikes and racing.
Where will we be?:
We’ll be at all the Pro Pit areas of the British Downhill Series and the National Champs
We will be set up usually from Friday lunch time and will be happy to help any time of day.
