That’s a brilliant guide. I’ve not ridden mountain bikes properly since late 80’s and would like to get back into it but was a bit confused about route difficulty but this video actually shows what all the colours mean. Cheers 🍻

It's always great to get back to trails that you really enjoy riding, a lot of KZbin videos tend to focus on techy rides which ridden by experienced local riders look amazing but require a lot of practice but it's also great to share the flow trails as they are great fun to ride and require less learning, which is why I enjoy coming back to your videos as you show a lot of flowy trails which I also enjoy, great advice and narration as always, keep sharing and thanks! 😁🚵♂️🤙

Hi mate how much time would you recommend to spend at bike park wales? Hoping to plan a trip for next year! covid pending! 🤣
@MeantforDescent3 жыл бұрын
Hi Bradley. I would suggest spending as much time as humanly possible there. ;) However, you're probably going to be knackered by the end of day two. Even if you ride the uplift, your legs will be tired because you're constantly out of the saddle on the descents, and your arms will be pumped because you're likely to be braking far more that you would during a regular ride. We usually book accomodation for a week and try to ride for three full days, back to back. We're usually there for the first uplift at 10am and stay until it closes. If you can afford to, throw in a rest day or two and you'll probably enjoy the trails a lot more. Cheers, Chris.
