Hello,

But yeah Rely if anyone can give me some kind of help in how to get into it and were to..Start rely.

There's some groups who do it at the Merchant City Festival, with introductory lessons - not sure if they do lessons at other times.

I think it's one of those things like BMX, where you just have to go out and start. You'll probably find some others, go and say hello. People into stuff like this are usually very accepting of new people (as long as you're not a complete twat!). With bikes, street riding, etc, it was always like that. I made some really good friends out in the streets, you'd just meet other riders, find new places to go together, next thing there was always someone going out every weekend, always some new spot to be hit.

In fact, one problem with all this UE shit is that it kind of made me lose motivation with bikes (although I'm guessing that doesn't apply to you Ben!).

Oddly, I've always been more into the building and bodging bikes than the actual serious riding :)

I realise this is late, but if you're still looking Traceur Zeno is a skilled practitioner in Glasgow, just send him a message via youtube and I'm sure he'd help point you in the right direction :)
