What ever happend to KIS ?
Back in 1999 KIS
Promosport was the
first UK Duel or BSX race series. The National Series was also run at the
same venue. BDRA was the governing organization and still is.
We took a
visit and a fun day was had by all, the famous gap jump picture is still
mtb-freeride's signature photo (Free downloads). Thanks Luke, and if your reading this get
back on a bike.
The course was in Gloucestershire near Stroud and was run by Graham and
Sheila Foot, but alas it is no more even the old website is dead.
The Last I heard
However do not despair, from the ashes rose KIS 2, that got binned to.
Not to be kept down though they recovered and are still going strong.
They as yet have no venue but with Grahams determination I'm sure a world
beater will be pulled out of the bag.
The latest from their new website
is -
"As of 10/01/03 KIS does
not have a venue yet, but, this will change soon as we are scouring the
countryside for a permanent location where we can do what we always said we
would, build the UK's best dirt-bike-park bar none, just be patient like us.
It'll be worth the wait."
The new website is worth a look to
find out what's going on, if your into BSX you've probably already been
there.
The Latest
Whilst updating the site I checked kinks and found that the KIS website is no more, gone the same way as the original. If KIS is still out there drop me a line so I can update.

The Present (email from the man himself Graham Foot)
Hi guys, just spotted the kis stuff on your site and thought i'd better drop you a line. I am still well up for doing another bike park but at the mo have no land available but am looking again, also well up for helping with stuff should you need a digger driver with an eye for a track or three, thats what i do now, drive diggers.
Also got a small shop, slam69.co.uk but it's just a stop gap till i find a place to relocate. allfanow anyway and your freeride park looks well sorted, nice one, must come play sometime soon.
grm.
Thanks for getting in touch Graham, hope you find some land soon. :) If you do be sure to let us know.
