I would say that hare and hound racing is on the increase, untill the cost of racing starts to hit peoples pockets. Entry fee £35-45, fuel 15-20litres £20-25. oil, tyres etc, OH what the hell we are only down here once go for it, there will be a day when your body wont let your ride, so enjoy it while you can!!!

A more helpful reply:

20 years ago there was only round SIX enduro/hare & hound events in the whole of the south west. In the last 2 years there was probably over 30. It is still on the increase, but the forthcoming recession will probably put an end to a lot of it due to lack of cash.

Trail riding was almost unheard of 20 years ago, it got very busy on the lanes 5-10 years ago and is a bit quieter now, but still a lot more than 20 years ago.

MX - I have no idea if there are more, or less.

Trials - I have no idea if there are more, or less.

Speedway - Seems to be dying a slow death.

SX - is on the increase.

Grass Track - I have no idea if there are more, or less.

Yeah i would agree with the previous posts..

Trail riding has gone very quiet since the new legislation but there are always new faces and bigger entries at the hare and hounds i race at.

Thanks for that guys.... This is a great help....
I think your all right....
Though when people say racing is real expencive i agree but if your determind enough people can get away with it. I dont belive that if you like your riding enough, people are willing to give it up because they are tight for cash.
I am only 16 and i rearlise that i dont have to fund a family and keep a roof over my head but i have brought my own brand new bike and i have brought a whole workshop and i can still afford to race and i fund all of this with a small weekend job mowing lawns and laying headges.
Thanks,
keep them coming
ben
