Bike Park Wales Epic Ride - Worst Crash I've Seen

- Ticking Bike Park Wales off the bucket list is a must if you've never been. Trails for all abilities and a superb uplift service. We travelled all the way up from Portsmouth to hit this supreme spot. Even with the thought that storm Freya could spoil everything.
This was the first group trip I've organised outside of my local. 6 people from my Facebook Group "MTB Fanatics" tagged along for the ride. Join if you wish. It's a good place to chat.
With everyone at different skill/ability levels. We all catered for our own needs and hit some trails together but others in little portions of the group. Either way, meeting at the bottom of the trail to do the uplift together. This way everyone can enjoy Bike Park Wales and ride within their limits.
Feeling good and confident, we hit into Wibble Wobble and Ben has a big off on the berm. This scared the lift out of me as I knew this was a big hit. He was thrown clear of the bike and hit the ground hard enough that it knocked him clean out. I didn't know myself that this had happened until I got closer. Luckily it all worked out in the end, and apart from some body aches and pains Ben got away likely here.
It was a fantastic day, and storm Freya stayed held off until we left. Then it started to chuck down. Lucky really!
A fantastic group

Such a great place. Trails for all. Let me know what you think. Always like hearing the comments.
Very impressed with the amount of speed you carry, the vid almost looks sped up. 👍
@@andrewengland8021 well that's good news then. I actually go fast. Lol. 24fps looks good.
Hi Mike great video on the mountain bike to trails in Wales was your mate ok when he came off his bike was his nose broken but anyway I really liked the video I must have ago at that one day great video and thanks from mark from UK England
That’s a rough crash! Glad he was able to walk away.
That was some dismount 😵 had to giggle at the prompt offering of the nice white tissue...trail Doctoring at its finest 👍🏻
I'm quite new to your channel but this has been my favourite edit by far. Held my attention from start to finish. Great work.
Thankyou bud.
Ben took that well. Nasty OTB. Take care out there folks. Hope he's recovered well and back on the trails
Great vid mike ! Looks like a few changes since I’ve last been there - top best friend award for handing Ben a tissue on crashing ! My mates would have gone through my pockets and wiped my wallet
Nice one Mike, bpw been my all time favourite trail centre planning in summer to shred again. Keep rolling that wheels💪
Great coverage. You seemed to get smoother as you went along, apart from those gnarly bits rattling your equipment.
I can sympathize with your mate, I have a few scars from my last BPW visit... Great video. 👍
Great vid mike as always. Going in a couple of weeks and can’t just love the place. I’ll watch out for Ben’s berm !!
Thanks Sean. Enjoy.
Wow amazing job. Love it. Such beautiful route 😊
Wow that's second vid from you and I love your channel
One of the best vids out there, glad your mate was ok 👍🏻
Cheers bud
I hope your mate got himself checked out - concussion is a very dangerous thing and can have delayed effects. Really hope he is ok and rests up properly. Great vid by the way. Not been to BPW for a while but looks like a return visit needs booking!
He went to hospital yes. All good. Thanks bud
He’s very lucky. Mine ended up with degloved mouth, stitches to gums at 3 am, CT scan with concussion. Bike park WALES, making and breaking mtbers daily. Great vid
He's knows he's a lucky lad. Scared the life out of me. 0 -100 on the serious scale in an instant. Great place still though😂😂
I have no idea what a degloved mouth is but that sounds like the most horrific injury
Myself and my son went to morzine last summer for our first bike holiday aboard. First day 2nd run on the trail my son had a pedal slip on a jump and bounced of and landed on his butt.. Thankfully some local French kids helped him off the trail.. My had bad grazing and bruising on his butt. He could bearly sit never mind ride a bike. Thankfully after a few days rest he was able to enjoy the last two d days.. Fun times!! We going to bike park Wales this summer.. Bring it on!!!
At least it worked out OK. Enjoy Bpw. Awesome stuff
@@MikesMTBAdventures thanks chap, good channel you have, congrats. Subbed
Those trail-Fairies are working over time there keeping some of thoise trails buffed out and smooth. Some of those lines look fun AF though... :D
Good video - glad the bike was ok ;-)
You best video ever! Lose concentration for a half a second, boom! Cheers!
Thanks matt. Exactly
WOW, that is some great looking flowy trails. Nothing like that around here in Oregon that Ive seen.
Thanks bud. Is a good place.
Great effort bud!
Thank god he was wearing a full face helmet! Cool vid
Going this weekend. 4th time there. There week it openned way back now. Judging by your sending. Not 1st uve rode any of those lines.
Glad the dude was okay! I bet he was glad to have been wearing a full face helmet!!
Tom Williams I definitely was. 😂
@@benvsdirtmtb1194 Haha.. Good Job!!
That was a scary crash, I'm glad all was OK.
This trail looks sick 🤙
was he still able to ride after that crash? what a strong bloke. this video got me stoked. awesome riding mate!
He was OK bud. Straight up and riding again. Its his way lol
Love BPW and good on ya mate to laugh it off! What a moment ha
Bike Park Wales, it's good, but a bit too 'manufactured' like a lot of modern trail parks. 'Bad crash' was just a normal off lol. I took my mate to the easiest trail centre in the UK (Sherwood Pines) and he broke his collarbone 2mins into the ride......
What Go Pro are you using? And what are the setting to get such good images in the overcast lighting? Is it post edit that gives it that quality? Thank You
I've done a settings video bud on the channel. Gopro 7
Oh right, I just saw your face on your page and your video came up on my Google search last night and I watched it. Thx Again
Broke my arm there Wednesday before the snow... devastated but these things happen for a reason...press the send button harder next time 🤣
Unlucky. Always next time though. Just don't let it set you back
Great video :)
Thanks
Quality vid mate
Thanks Rick
He was just doin a superman into the bush, no crash here
Soft crash really. Hyped up a bit fella ;-)
It's the worst I've seen it says. Yes there's worse. Can't please everyone. Would have been better if he hadn't come off at all. Cheers for the input
He went over the bars at speed, scorpioned into a tree and knocked himself unconscious, what more do you want?
There was a little wink at the end of my comment.
@@rockmountbmxer fair enough mate, as you were😀
@@rockmountbmxer I know mate. Lol. Having a moment yesterday.
Wow! Great riding and nice track. Who builds all the bike tracks in The U.K. and are they on private land or state owned land?
They're a mix. This one is privately owned, but many are on taxpayer owned Forestry Commission or community owned land.
Nice crash :)
I’m going to bike park wales in two and a half days I’m so nervous
You'll love it
Will I? I’m so nervous... 😬 I have only just got a mountain bike and have had it for two weeks I can already do a few jumps..., just so nervous I’m going on holidays too and going to bike park wales in holiday
Does anyone have a way of contacting the people in the video?
What do you mean matt
Looks too smooth and fast for me, Id get faster and faster till I ejected myself into the scenery.
Hope your mate is ok.
Was very sore in the morning. Nothing broken in the end. Thank god
Mike's MTB Adventures great news. Good to hear
So helmet hurts 😂😂
