  • Bike Park Wales is the DADDY of all UK bike parks! Known for it's massive trail network and endless miles of flow trails!
    In this video we session almost all the blues runs and walk through some sections to really give you a look at what Bike Park Wales is all about!
    Sixtapod,Terry's Belly and Popty Ping are all covered in this review and they are personally my favourites of the bunch. This will eventually be a 3 part mini series also breaking down the Red and Black trails.
    If you want an overview of BPW then check out this video here - • Bike Park Wales | Is i...

    1:31 narrowly avoids collapsing into laughter when he suggests us mere mortals can progress "maybe to the blacks"! Great content Jamie, surprised you haven't got more subscribers. btw, Beast of Burden is great to do at least once on an e-bike

      Graham Smith 😂 Thanks for your kind words👍🏼 I’m sure if you’re local then the beast would be worth a go but as it’s a bit of a treat to be riding there for me I think I’ll stick to the dh👍🏼.
      P.s The blacks might not be as far away as you might think 🤔

    • @stevec6427
      @stevec6427 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The black trails look intimidating but anyone with reasonable experience could get there. At race speed they'll bite back but at a nice steady flow they're fun. Just follow someone first time down.

    I live local to Cannock chase and try to ride the reds there as often as i can (so so many hills) and imo they could do with more flow trails. The blues at BPW look perfect for a novice trying to progress there skills further on flow trails. Love the presentation style and format. Brilliant video thanks!
