Absolutely beautiful trails. I'm on the East Coast USA, in my area there are lots of Poplar trees with massive roots everywhere which can make certain trails quite difficult. I'd love a trail like this. Also our trails are extremely wet now with a Hurricane on it's way up the coast yet again.

They really are fantastic trails, the builders put a lot of effort in there (and are really friendly too). Maybe doesn't look it but there's quite a variety of trails there with narrow rooty ones, wider flowing ones, even some rocky bits (slate of course - it is Wales after all...). Beauty of it is that even in the depths of winter when the ground is sodden and muddy, it still rides well. Yeah, the roots can get slippy but that's all part of the fun!

The one just a little further down from 6:45 has to be my favourite! The one at 10:00 that is if I’d kept watching before commenting!

🤣🤣 your own poo accident, now there's a concept I never imagined 💩 Great video mate, always good seeing Tony! Such a great place there, really lucky having that on your doorstep! The end cracked me up... Well, who would have thought it 😉🤣

Thanks mate, the trails were running damned well (apart from the overgrown ones). As for Tony's Tube, I couldn't actually film that clip at first because I was laughing so much; I really thought he meant he used it instead of a life jacket 😂😂😂

Great video, i do love those trails, well, the ones I’ve ridden anyway 😄, can’t wait to go back, hopefully the trails will still be dry when I get back from turkey, I’ll probably look like Tony with the blown up inner tube by then 🤣🤣 maybe I should go canoeing instead 🤣🤣
@Stopadoodledoo5 ай бұрын
Thanks mate, was so cool with them being dry (and dusty - left out the run that the thumbnail came from but I was basically swallowing the dust that the two lads were kicking up). Not sure about canoeing; have you thought about SUP-Boarding? 😂
