Off to bpw at the weekend, first time so can’t wait!! Thanks for the informative video

[@MtbTrailHub]

You’re welcome, have a great time 👍

[@Andrew-su9rk]

Wow, great to know that BPW has actual mountain biking 😉and not just jumps and berms... might be worth a visit after all!

[@MtbTrailHub]

haha, yeah it's well manicured for sure, there's still a fair amount of natural style trails out there!

[@richardendley7433]

BPW just love it, back for a second visit first week in October...🤟🤟

[@MtbTrailHub]

It’s hard to beat it compared to other U.K. venues! Enjoy Richard, thanks for watching 👍

[@TheBikeRoom]

3 rides up has been the staple for us recently for 800 metres of climbing and a decent selection of descents for £13 can't go wrong.

[@MtbTrailHub]

Happy days, the climb isn't too bad either. Check out Barry Sidings next time you're peddling in the area!

[@TheBikeRoom]

@@MtbTrailHub yeah, been up there when wet and all three of us spent time having little lie downs with bikes on top of us. Been meaning to visit in dry though but this weekend riding Skyline (the original one from pre-2013 days with Excalibur, Grand Canyon and Handy Andy all back open) It's a big day though, over 50km and lots of elevation from Glyncorrwg.

[@MtbTrailHub]

@@TheBikeRoom wow, sounds like an epic one! I went to Barry’s a few weeks back and was blown away by the trails, some techy stuff on the dry let alone in the wet !

[@alanclayton2349]

Went to BPW last week had afternoon uplift, peddled up few times before lunch then uplift pm. Best day on the mtb, was wired until 2am.

[@MtbTrailHub]

Nice! I did the same the last time i was up there. I've heard the uplifts will go back to full day passes instead of split days at some point this winter, which will mean even more riding! When are you going back then? hahaa

[@alanclayton2349]

@@MtbTrailHub hopefully get a normal ride up soon, I work opposite BPW so have colleagues that ride. Uplifts are well worth the pay out. Especially if coming from afar like yourself. #rideon

[@MtbTrailHub]

@@alanclayton2349 Not a bad place to have on your doorstep! No excuses 😜

[@deanwilliams5913]

Great info video. I am at BPW for the first time in October. So good to have an insight to the red trails. Cheers

[@MtbTrailHub]

Happy to help Dean 👍 enjoy

[@FWilliamsFlyFishing]

Going to ride BPW for the first time at the end of October. I normally ride in the Forest of Dean so I’m really looking forward to riding some terrain with more rocks in. I did Coed y Brenin and the Marin trail at Llan Wrust a few weeks ago and that was awesome. Deffo tested my beginner level skills. What were the trails you were riding in this clip? Thanks for sharing.

[@MtbTrailHub]

You're welcome Frank, Good stuff...... Sounds like you've been riding some decent trails. You will be blown away by BPW and just the sheer amount of trails they have. Trails featured were..... Groot,roots manoeuvres,rock and roll and wobbly wobbly! Let me know how you get on!

[@FWilliamsFlyFishing]

@@MtbTrailHub will do mate. Thanks for the encouraging words

[@adamsatur7277]

I definitely need to get down there at some point!

[@MtbTrailHub]

Yeah it's the hub of Uk mtb! Book early though as uplift fills weeks prior

[@charlesslwilson]

Sunday will be my 1st time at BPW so great timing - cheers

[@MtbTrailHub]

Ha, brilliant...... this was planned for your arrival 😜

[@charlesslwilson]

@@MtbTrailHub boom!

[@just_another_user]

Honestly your videos are first class 👌🏻

[@MtbTrailHub]

You’re too kind👍 thanks again

[@aric7726]

I tried Groot once but it was pure sludge. Gotta give it another go when it's dry!

[@TheBikeRoom]

Yeah would like to try that one, sounds better ridden dry.

[@MtbTrailHub]

I suppose as there's not much gradient it will hold the water longer.....well worth another go

[@aric7726]

@@MtbTrailHub yeah the surface is dirt with little rock, and it was after a few days of rain

[@_.lucky.shot._4113]

Looks freakin awesome!!!

[@MtbTrailHub]

It's a blast!

[@sentry_rider2573]

Brilliant

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it

[@johnbellis1179]

Great video once again.

[@MtbTrailHub]

Thanks John 👍

[@lee-annmurphy9237]

I noticed your bike makes an odd noise down grout is this normal only asking cause my bikes the same from the rear shock I thought mine was knackered

[@MtbTrailHub]

The noise comes from the headset on my bike, had it serviced, greased and changed but still an issue. If your shock is making noises id get the bushings looked at, they are usually one of the first things to go. Hopefully its nothing internal......

[@tomek6481]

Bike land 😁 it’s there any accommodation close by to stay for a weekend ?

[@thelostfarmer9253]

Twin Trails B&B. Very close to bpw and you can wash and keep your bike secure inside.

[@tomek6481]

TheLostFarmer great 👍🏻 thank you.

[@patchpal8851]

Premier inn

[@tomek6481]

Patchpal88 👍🏻

[@MtbTrailHub]

The people have spoken....... both are great recommendations or a nearby campsite called Grawen .

[@johnbellis1179]

I did Groot yesterday in the wet and it's definitely cut up a lot since this video, be warned. Plenty of sniper tree roots trying to take out my front wheel.

[@MtbTrailHub]

Yeah i bet! will probably get harder and harder as time goes on.

[@onesoldsoul]

If you ever go to cwmcarn again give me a shout. I trail builder for the Fap best trail there. Cheers D

[@ChebTV102]

Here fellow mtb biker

[@MtbTrailHub]

👋

[@marcusfudge8584]

What camera and mount do you use

[@MtbTrailHub]

I’m using the go pro 4 blk and the evo ss gimbal for pov footage. Go pro 7 for 3rd person. This set up has been bullet proof for years now but I think the new go pros eliminate the need for the gimbal. Looking to get the hero 9 for next season👍

[@marcusfudge8584]

Thank you

[@thomasalderson6662]

Great video but please sort out those front cables, so distracting throughout the whole vid

[@MtbTrailHub]

Noted! This made me laugh..... It's been on the 'To-do' list for a Looooong time! I'll try and have it sorted for next year!

[@dandan7066]

Are usually like the reviews on this but I thought this video was useless; that is basically review of Groot and Root manoeuvers and misses out what a lot of riders will be looking for when they try the reds. Hardly anything vicious Valley in Surfin bird and missed a lot of the normal ones that people do. Root manoeuvers if you’re interested it’s a good review but not as an overall review have reds to BPW.

[@MtbTrailHub]

Your a harsh critic Dan, I'm sorry to let you down! It's impossible to please everyone but i will try even harder for you next time!

[@lopon12]

Do you need full face?

[@MtbTrailHub]

It’s Not essential but I’d recommend.....pretty sure they do protection hire at the shop
