Wales for the motorbike fan . We had not been long back from active service in Asia. We were given a long weekend , 4 days. Two of my friends and I thought what a good idea to ride down to Wales. Cafe owners refused to serve us because of our bikes , this happened in 90% of the cafés and restaurants. All I can say is fuck Wales ungrateful idiots

Nice vid, thanks mate! Normally ride SH’s but looking for new stuff. What’s the best way of finding your way around - is everything on Trailforks / sign posted?
@andyp744925 күн бұрын
Yes the main red/blue are easy to follow. There are a few downhill lines to take. It is sort of obvious when you get to a peak/plateau and you continue the red on the left or the DH lines on the right. There is also some exploring to be done on the west part of the forest. Maybe look on some heat maps. There is a cool techy bombhole section out there. But for a first trip for sure just focus on the easy to find stuff.

Great video & very good cameras! Those black runs are very tame & the red route looks like a family trail.

Hi m8. Great riding! Hopefully I can get up to speed for next year haha. I entered the Intro Grand Vets on the Sunday, weather was glorious. Loved it, definitely going back for more next year. My main issue was I rode it all blind. Your vids from last year helped though. I just wish there was more events like this in that part of the UK as it was only a few hours' drive for me.

Swinley has some hidden gems! I don't know what it's called but the trail to the right of Babymaker is wicked fun. Loose gully to start with and then into a load of really tight, fast berms.

@robertbransbyАй бұрын
Have ridden there twice, first time i thought it was utter shyte, the second time it was just far too pedally and dull for the tiny bits of fun. When youve got the surrey hills half an hour away its a no brainer.
@ryandodgeshawАй бұрын
To be fair it is a pedal fest but some of the runs are worth the pedal though. Surrey Hills is awesome if you know what way round to go for sure, I normally get lost and ride up a lot of roads lol. Place is rad though. Cheers!
