I am completely new to the mountain bike scene at 45 years old (yet to get a bike) but Dyfi park is on my top list to vi!sit for sure! It looks beautiful I cant wait to take my family all the way up from Cornwall🎉

nice park in my opinon!

Hi!

I’m an absolute noob at MTB and was thinking when you said it’s got some chilled trails that there might be some good blue runs for me and then I posted in our girls MTB chat and everyone was like don’t do it! 😅 had a google and defo think I need a bit more practice before doing this one!

These are not nromal bikers lol - sport has become much more mainstream!

The best thing about this clip is just seeing RA back on the bike again after the injuries, so stoked for you , amazing 🤩

Loved the format Rach, like really, the best vid you've done of Dyfi yet. Blown my mind with the cornering and now I see you do that a lot. I (we viewers?) can never see or know to unweight like that. The slow mo with the talking over the left gap, I'd so appreciate if in the future you have time to do that sort of segment for a table top, a drop and a gap. Sorry for the laundry list but honestly, after seeing just a basic corner apex change like that I now wonder what else I'm missing. Thanks a ton, one day Dyfi when my kids are grown. Thanks again <3

So there’s no “ Blue” trails then just red 🫨? Not that that’s a bad thing btw I just wondered, the runs look amazing 🤩

My turn …”Aha I see so basically if there’s a berm don’t use it just skim across the highest point of the turn to get maximum speed and then slide out and land in the bushes 😂!! “ that’s what happened to me when I tried that technique haha ! The bike was ok though 🙌🏼🙌🏼👍🏾😂

Really good info on berms 👌

On the first berm

What was that HUUUUUGE bang when you landed ? Glad your OK

Great Vid Rachel Been wanting to come down for a wile but wasn't sure if I was ready But looks like you have some nice flowing trails there now & its great to see how the average rider gets on , I am sold 👍👍❤❤

Fastest downhill mum in the world! I love Dyfi Bikepark so much just by watching videos. You guys just know how to build lines that last and that arent too easy. Hopefully I get to ride there soon!

The little section at 5:00 that detail is great, some more videos like this would be good.

Looks like packed with so much fun there !. Wish we had such a great bike park like this here in Japan. 😊

❤

Awesome

Enjoying the content 👍 Great explanation regarding where to weight the bike... Is there any chance of explaining how you weight the bike coming into and through a bike park style sweeping berm to carry good speed..

Cannot wait to move back to the UK, DYFI is up there on the list. Demo 200 for me please.

wow! so sick!

Proper job I’m having a couple of days up here in late September, I’m 53 and shitting it 😂 but already excited like Xmas morning 👍👍

Class would love to see more of these!

Great stuff! Instantly makes me want to get my next trip booked up!😂 I was only there a week ago!🤷🏼‍♂️ absolutely railing the berm after the drop!🔥 more of this would be awesome! Really helpful🤙🏻

Great share, cheers!

Love it! New trail map is awesome!

Have you ever thought about coaching 💯👍👍

This is GREAT! Thanks. That gap into the smooth line at 04:56 looks perfect - a rider used it in your last vid (the bumps in the gully must be full of tooth fillings🎉). Love the way you race-squash the jumps fast instead of standing up into them: it give me hope 😂 The new map looks mint: will be studying that on Thursday then getting coaching with Riley 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I always do the chicken line rather than the drop on Turns in the Ferns😢 Will have to try that high line next time.

Your so AWESOME MISS SEEING YOUR VIDEOS HOPE TO SEE MORE 😎👍

Roll on Saturday. Hope Dan doesn't smoke me out with the fire again. Always Good Times at Dyfi!! 👍

Amazing place. I'm hoping to go soon recovering from ACL injury

First!!

A forge of Atherton bikes!

Came to the park for my first time the weekend this was filmed. What an incredible park and what a chilled vibe the whole place has! Currently trying to whittle down hours of footage into some videos that are good enough for us average folk! 😂

I always thought Turns in the Ferns must have been built with that drop in mind. Cool to finally see someone hit it!

Great video Jamie and your smashing all the jumps drops and ramps, awesome

I haven't ridden a bike in years. Last month I bought a specialised enduro 2018 off pinkbike and went DYFI with very little experience. This was my first bike park and my second mtb ride - after one half day at Gisburn Forest. As expected, DYFI humbled me. There were some falls, but no lasting damage. If you're a beginner I can't stress enough to take body armor and elbow pads, saved me at least twice. One day here levelled up my riding and confidence exponentially. The only thing I would love is for some more progressive beginner friendly lines and jumps that you can session quickly. All the jumps were too big for me, but you can roll them carefully. Overall well worth it if you come with a can do attitude and don't give up after eating it. 😂

love this! very relatable!

I don't think I want Rachael riding behind me seeing how crap I am at riding. DYFI is at the top of my bucket list

I live overseas but come back a couple of times a year and get a few rides in. I'm old but can ride although I'd be to intimidated by the general skill level to come to Dyfi but after watching this, my mind is changed. Love the vibe, looks like the best friendly fun, will deffo try and come next year

Of course you would stop and buy a Red Bull.. as soon as she did I was like all right where is the Red Bull helmet? I’m sure she’s a sponsored athlete and Yep, of course so pathetic. That drink is battery acid that will take years off your life. I’m sick of all these athletes, pretending that they drink it when they don’t. Take a sip for your sponsor and then throw the can out because you would never drink that in real life lol it’s so transparent

We'll be coming to Dyfi for the first time in September, can't wait!

Can you book a bike and the uplift together as i only have an Orbea Rise and I want to try the 170 👍🏾? Great video RA you legend ✊🏾

Definitely.. everyone jumps so different, I don't like to get hight but instead would rather push through keeping low and fast... sick video. I've made up my mind, soo many good bikes out there but I'm gonna get an s170... I'd better get saving and selling my possessions 😂😂 🤟🤟

@RachelAtherton1 This was one of your best videos. Your laugh is contagious. I love that you showed off the normies enjoying their time at the park. We are always watching Danny Hart, or Bernard Kerr videos of Dyfi. How did this day with the "Normies" compare to the day of riding with Brendan and Bernard? I feel like you had a blast with this day. Keep it up. Can't wait to see you back racing. 😃 All the best, BostonDon

This video was a great idea! Thanks for explaining that at the end.

That was so much fun to watch! It’s so cool to see newer riders attempting challenging trails. What place!

Cheers for the party laps down Insta 360 with the crew, that was some train. Pure laughter along the way and a fresh edit out soon.. 🤘🤘

I consider myself competent but am crap on jumps which holds me back. Dyfi is gnarly for regular riders like myself, however!! I've never progressed so fast in a single park as I have on the numerous times I've visited. Still not black running, but finding my way down in my own way. struggle with concrete tube step down, everything else is manageable with a stern self talking to. ride 2017 niner rip9 160front / 150rear. get 4 pot brakes though, My 2 pots burn out. 48years bloke
