The North Run 2011

If you only go on one rideout this year then make sure it's The North Run. As well as the mass scooter ride itself to look forward to, there's a bunch of things in store at this year's destination - Castle Syke Hill, Ackworth, West Yorkshire.

Grass Track Racing - If the madcap antics of the rideout itself isn't enough to give you an adrenaline rush then a quick blast around a grass track should give you your fix of speed. The entry fee is just £1 using your own bike, or for £5 you can have a go on ours.


Sprint Competition - Having our own venue has opened up all sorts of possibilities so this year we'll be hosting a 100 yard grass sprint competition - forget Santa Pod this is drag racing Yorkshire style! As an added incentive we'll award a trophy to the fastest rider of the day.

Bucking Bronco Shootout - Mount the Bucking Bronco and unleash the inner cowboy (or cowgirl) in you. We've got some prizes set aside for those of you who possess the best Rodeo skillz. There will be winners and there will be losers, either way it'll be a laugh!

Custom Scooter Awards - We know there are some great custom scooters out there, so we'd love to see your pride and joy entered into our custom scooter competition. We've got some bling in the form of a trophy to award to the best looking modified scooter in the eyes of the judges. Top scooters could also get a feature on the PETROL Scooter Magazine website.

Stunt Arena - Grass and bales of hay to play in, that's the theme for the Stunt Arena. We're on the look out for stunting talent so let's see what tricks you can come up with.

Entertainment - Bangin' tunes will be played throughout the day with a DJ hitting the decks and rumour has it some strippers will make an appearance at the end of Saturday night...
