   Hi Guys,

   I'm after some advice on where I can find a good hill in Brighton for some gravity sports?

   Ideally I'm looking for a road or path which has a good hill, is paved, has decent corners and a bit of a challenge and is nice and quiet.

   I've got my BMX at the ready to go and check it out but then in the future I would like to organise some gravity sport races with gravity bikes, soapboxes and street luge. If they sound interesting, check out http://www.ukgsa.org for information on them.

   Thanks for now.

   I can't think of anything that ticks all the boxes unfortunately, Hanover has some steep stuff but is littered in speedramps and no bends, Elm Grove is really busy as is Bear Road and the rest of town (that I can think of at the moment) is relatively flat :/

   some of the road that surrounds queens park has a bit of a descent and will be quiet, plus some of the internal paths are steepish, what sort of incline do you need really steep or gentle?

   Thanks for the responses.

   I think Hanover would definitely be too busy.

   Queens Park could be interesting though. I shall have a mosey up there on my bike.

   I think ideally I'd like a fairly steep hill, something where you can pick up a decent amount of speed.

   I think I'll have to see if I can get Brighton council involved and see if they can close roads up around the Dyke for this. Plenty of other councils who do similar.

   Thanks again for the responses.
