Dirt Factory will be the UK’s first indoor BMX park once the company secure a building. Their aim is to offer a place for mountain bikers and BMXers and to go when the weather is bad, or even just a high-quality alternative to the outdoors.

BMX airbag’s are becoming an increasingly popular event across the UK.

At the minute, the company are offering air bag hire, pump track hire, rental space and school/community activities.

At Dirt Factory they use real dirt on their track because they believe this gives the best riding experience – plus it enables them to change the layout to keep things fresh.

There will be a range of fun trails for all abilities built from dirt and complimented with a nice mixture of wooden features too.
