Beautifully made video. Probably one of the best constructed and narrated MTB videos I’ve watched......and I’ve seen a lot! Ive not been to bike park wales mainly because the videos I’ve seen made me think its not my thing. After watching this video I realise it’s probably exactly what I’m looking for from a bike park.
@MeantforDescent4 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I'm really please you enjoyed it. I can definitely recommend a trip. Everyone I met was super friendly and there were riders of all abilities, too. In fact, I think BPW is currently preparing to open a new green grade trail. Regardless, there's something there for everyone and not having to pedal uphill is a huge plus.
@oddjob48774 жыл бұрын
@@MeantforDescentBecause of the professional way you put your videos together I would trust your reviews of other bike parks Even better would be a scoring or ranking of each park. No -one does this yet - a scoring system would help us keen amateurs choose where to spend to spend our hard earned dosh! We can only visit one or two parks per season so having more trusted data on each venue would be helpful in deciding where to go. By contrast, I love Sam Pilgrims reviews - but I can't trust his reviews because his riding skills are on a different planet to mine! Most of us Amateurs prefer to trust the judgement of others at equivalent skill level.
@MeantforDescent4 жыл бұрын
I know what you mean. Skills with Phil started ranking US parks, but I don't think that lasted long, and he's a crazy good rider. I'm sure a lot of it would be subjective, too, like climbing grades are.

Thanks, Jake. Much appreciated. I've been exploring some local off piste trails over the last few weeks and I'll be showing longitude and latitude when that video gets published. I've got a new motion graphic and everything.

Thanks for the video mate. I live 20mins from Bike Park Wales and have never been! I've just purchased my first hardtail (Trek Marlin 8) after selling my CX and tend to visit very soon.

@@MeantforDescent thank you for taking the time to reply. I've tried to book the vehicle uplift but its booked up until end of Nov!! How far are the blue trails from the main visitor centre? Are they easily accessible on bike and are they difficult to reach by peddles lol. Subscribe button clicked 👍

No problem. The uplift is definitely worth it. There is a trail to the top, called Beast of Burden, but I haven't ridden it. The bus takes about 10 minutes, though. With regards to the trails, they're dotted all over the place. Unfortunately, you can't download a trail map, but there's one on the BPW website at www.bikeparkwales.com/mountain-bike-trails-wales

Thanks mate. The uplift is fully booked until 29th Nov so the only way I can ride is without it. Are the blue trails easily accessible without the lift? I'm new to this and not the fittest 😂

I'd have to say no, not really. I'd book the 29th and make the most of the day, or get an ebike. ;)

I'm sure it's worth a visit. Glentress will be getting on for that age and it's still a blast to ride.
