BikePark Wales Review - Best in Europe? (2018)

[@TrailRiderMTB]

They've actually taken that dai hard gap it now 😱

[@ReluctantRider]

TrailRiderMTB someone else said it was still but was the head of another trail?

[@TrailRiderMTB]

Reluctant Rider it's been moved onto enter the dragon!

[@ReluctantRider]

TrailRiderMTB ah I see! Enter the Dragon is back open then!

[@guymuttley1]

Four hours south east of London - that would be France lol

[@speed2live]

I was just there July 2022! Flew over from Los Angeles, CA. I've been thinking about going for quite some time. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT !!! I'm panning another trip back in July "23. OY!

[@thomasmarks5551]

Hey R.R me and a buddy are flyin over from northern ireland in April for the first time so this vid is mega helpful, particularly the best lines to link. Love the channel keep it up 👍

[@andye5828]

Awesome review and very helpful, thanks!

[@ReluctantRider]

Andy E 👍

[@saxowestcoast]

If you drive 4 hours east of London. Your going to get fucking wet. 😂 Third trip to bpw mid April. Can't wait!

[@ReluctantRider]

Haha this is true. Hope you have a good time, I love it!!

[@divedaz]

Great video, Having my first uplift/visit on the 20th really cant wait. Subbed.

[@ReluctantRider]

divedaz thanks dude! It's awesome man, you won't be disappointed 🤘

[@rayred74]

Last time I checked - Wales were West of London and not South East ;-)

[@zenmoto369]

Clean your ears and listen the video again. He said 4 hours drive from South East London. Not that this is the direction

[@joshtout4089]

very helpful thanks, I will be going there in the summer

[@ReluctantRider]

Glad you found it useful dude!

[@PClarkson101]

The local travel lodge are cool with bikes in the hotel rooms too 👍

[@akaTidy]

Do you have any beard advice? Also hope fortus or halo vortex wheelset?

[@J273]

Seems like you had perfect conditions. Everytime ive been its been piss wet through

[@ReluctantRider]

J273 I've been so lucky man!

[@callumyoung7785]

Have you ridden locomotion yet because it is one of my faves

[@RiderUnknownUK]

A sunny day! What?! It’s Wales. You must’ve pleased the mountain gods right before you visited. 😂

[@ReluctantRider]

To The Trail so lucky! It drained really well too as it was raining the day before!

[@tastytechaddictsmtb]

Compared to Verbier bike part or Tignes bike park, its not a scratch on them.

[@ReluctantRider]

Click bait buddy. And to say that a ski style bike park is "better" that more of a trail hub style bike park is like saying a Mars Bar is better than a Snickers. It's a taste thing, Bike park wales is absolutely nothing like Tignes. To say Whistler is better than Vallnord is fair, as they are both in the same category and Whistler does it better. But I know what you getting at.

[@boggybigpants9462]

Got to be Morzine .....It’s in a massive mountainous area ....loads of chair lifts ...gorgeous scenery....masses of tracks for every ability......usually sunny ... ...sorry but bike parks in the U.K. are good ..but they just can’t compete with France

[@ReluctantRider]

Yeh I think the alps bike parks are something special but as far a bike parks that aren't ski resorts in the winter go, BP Wales is pretty special. I really prefer it to Vallnord which is an awesome bike park in itself. I think my opinion may change when I hit the two parks at the top of my list - Morzine and Val d'Isere Tignes!

[@boggybigpants9462]

Reluctant Rider .....yep as an all year round bike park I’m sure BPW is near the top ...but you gotta agree ,short ..cold ..wet.. boggy days aren’t that much fun in winter anyway ... you can’t beat a DH run lasting 20+ mins then a chair lift back up ...you can go for miles just going ..down/ up /down etc ..and no pedalling ....happy days .........ps ..love the channel ,keep up the good work 👍

[@ReluctantRider]

Boggy Big pants thanks dude!

[@callumyoung7785]

Boggy Big pants the trails in the Alps may be good...... but they don't compare to whistler

[@MrBerps]

My 1st bike park experience was whistler hellish goodness

[@MrMattrix1]

nice review dude. my best line from top to bottom has got to be Vicious Valley on to A470 then in to Pork Belly and finishing off with Insufficient Funds. great park as you said but a little too busy at times so if your a faster rider you can get slowed down by beginner riders. have you tried Revolution Bike Park? love that place

[@ReluctantRider]

Bro Nature no not been there. Looks good in the videos though!

[@royrcf]

Brilliant review , cheers.

[@ReluctantRider]

rory flowers thanks mate!

[@alistairchappell]

Awesome.... went in September last year.... what a great couple of days !!! Crashed on the first day🙈...lol...done my wrist in, so I ended up climbing the beast of burden 5 times as I couldn't do any DH.......

[@ReluctantRider]

Alistair Chappell ah mate gutted! I was there in September too!

[@alistairchappell]

Reluctant Rider I couldn't have bailed on easier trail...lol, melted welly!! front end washed out on a berm 😣.... bit my tongue on the landing 😂😂😂

[@ReluctantRider]

Alistair Chappell oh ffs dude! I'd rather break something than bite my tongue, it's horrible!

[@928DAVEH]

Great vid,been looking for something like this on b.p.w for awhile👍

[@ReluctantRider]

Thanks dude. Glad you found it useful!

[@WelshGuitarDude]

This needs an update since its changed now

[@ben_pedelty]

no a470? suprised

[@PaulClapperton]

Love this vid, hoping to get down there for the first time later this year. What is that squeaking on your bike dude? It would drive me insane.

[@ReluctantRider]

Paul Clapperton squeaking? Will have to watch it back. Might be the microphone picking up something I can't hear. Thanks dude!

[@PaulClapperton]

Yeah check out 12:19 as you're in the berm but from then on it's doing it, usually when you're in corners.

[@TBTT-sx3ux]

Excellent video! Thank you :)

[@jbonexc1725]

WEST, of London dude, WEST! Hahaha Such a sick place to ride and the NEW Terry's Belly is awesome!

[@ReluctantRider]

JBone XC oh shit did I say east! Always something 😂

[@jbonexc1725]

Reluctant Rider 😂👍🏻

[@daveandmerlin]

Its a good place for sure but does even come close to the French bike parks ive been to

[@charlielewis7191]

Nice video i went in October

[@ReluctantRider]

charlie thanks man! How far a journey is it for you?

[@TrailBikeBebop]

Cool, i didnt know much about that park

[@ReluctantRider]

Trail Bike Bebop glad to help dude!

[@gemmataylor223]

never been up there it's only a walk around the corner from me

[@ReluctantRider]

Gemma Taylor get up there! You have one of the best in the UK right around the corner!

[@richwilbraham3216]

Top dollar as all ways Luke 👍

[@ReluctantRider]

Richard Wilbraham thanks mate!

[@richiemoggz7985]

Spot on boyz

[@zenmoto369]

I like your hat.

[@Big2009Gee]

Definitely not the best in Europe but it is the best in the UK

[@scottycraig8443]

The place is good, but not even close to been the best on Europe, revolution Bike Park isn't that far away and is definitely better than bpw

[@daveandmerlin]

Scotty Craig BPW is proper shit compared to Revo for sure
