- Bike Park Wales is the DADDY of all UK bike parks! Known for it's massive trail network and endless miles of flow trails!
In this video we session almost all the blues runs and walk through some sections to really give you a look at what Bike Park Wales is all about!
Sixtapod,Terry's Belly and Popty Ping are all covered in this review and they are personally my favourites of the bunch. This will eventually be a 3 part mini series also breaking down the Red and Black trails.

Thanks for the video! Im not comfortable with jumps or drops yet so its great to see what I can ride and have fun on.
Fantastic timing as I was planning a trip to BPW and hitting the blues! Thanks!
Awesome! pleased i could help out, Check out the Mtb Trail Hub Podcast too if you want more info about accom/costs etc.....
Can’t wait for bike park wales to reopen so I can finally go 😊
Wj Seymour 1992 Not too much longer now 👍. You will love it 🙌🏼🙌🏼👌
@@MtbTrailHub when does it reopen?
TajnyTaktyk I think it reopens on the 6th of July for pedal up only. To what extent and for how many riders is TBC........?
Its open lettsss go boiiiiss
@@finleybakerwhite3953 official website doesnt have any bookings open yet
Really cool video, nice editing, I’m getting up there this week after years away from that style of riding, can’t wait!
Have a great ride! Appreciate the comment. All it takes is one ride and you will be hooked again......
Great video great info thanks .
mark coombs cheers mark 👍🏼
Good vid Mate. A good look at some of the trails.
Thanks Mark, Yeah i thought i'd dive in a bit deeper seeing as there is lots of POV stuff out there already..... Red Trails next....
I’m pretty new to this - I like your content and the style of your vids - am looking forward to getting to Wales at some point
Welcome aboard! Thanks for tuning in. You can't go wrong with a bit of riding in Wales......Enjoy!
Great vid! Love the names of the trails, very Welsh.
Marty G 😂cheers Marty!
Really good video mate thank you! I live not far frome bpw and want to take my daughter there for the day and see how she gets on! Looks fantastic for beginners! Thanks again 👍🤘
James Bradley Yeah it’s spot on for New riders👌 It’s awesome that this video is making a difference👍 Have a great time
Yeh man, this has got me pumped. Went riding for the first time in aaages today.
Yeah Boyyyy! awesome mate..... next stop Bike Park Wales??
Really good videos full of great info 🤟🤟
Glad you enjoyed them, happy to help 👍
Great video thanks, I'm heading to BPW 1st sept for two days, looking forward to it.
You're welcome! have a great time!
Love the blues at BPW. so much variety
Me too! Great fun
Great work again bud
Thanks mate! Lets find you a shock pump and get a trip sorted over there soon......
My first ever DH I went straight into Popty Ping. What a fantastic flowing trail. Sixtapod gave that longer flow run and then AC DC was slightly to far for first ever DH.
Good stuff! Sounds like you were loving it..... Such great progressive trails. I bet you can't wait for round 2!!!
I live local to Cannock chase and try to ride the reds there as often as i can (so so many hills) and imo they could do with more flow trails. The blues at BPW look perfect for a novice trying to progress there skills further on flow trails. Love the presentation style and format. Brilliant video thanks!
David Tranter Cheers David, you’ve hit the nail on the head there. Cannocks not a bad local to have but a bit of a long burner for sure.
I've just started riding Cannock and I'm loving it so far. Its kicking my ass as I'm not as fit as I thought I was but it's mega fun! Bike Park Wales is definitely on the to-do list.
MrAlexTech Cannock is a tough loop..... if you can get around there then your on the right path! It’s a bit of a lung burner!! You won’t regret a trip to BPW! 👌
I actually started to enjoy all the climbing on the monkey (and that's on a naturally aspirated bike 😁)
@@lozzamanuk "naturally aspirated" ha! Love that.
Great vid looks good place soph is beautiful 👍 happy biking
rob robinson how much did she pay you to say that 😂. Yeah she sure is 🔥
@@MtbTrailHub not much lol but say how see it bud and great to see more girls riding.
rob robinson Yeah for sure! Mtb is thriving for ladies and gents right now!
I'm new to mountain biking (well E biking 🙂) Great review , it's good to see all the different trails , IV been to coed y Brenin and done the mbr and dragons back but haven't been to bike park Wales yet ,it looks awesome . The blue routs look fun .
Hey Jon, Welcome! thanks for the comment.
Yeah the blues are awesome fun and perfect for someone new to the game! Fingers crossed it opens back up soon !
1:31 narrowly avoids collapsing into laughter when he suggests us mere mortals can progress "maybe to the blacks"! Great content Jamie, surprised you haven't got more subscribers. btw, Beast of Burden is great to do at least once on an e-bike
Graham Smith 😂 Thanks for your kind words👍🏼 I’m sure if you’re local then the beast would be worth a go but as it’s a bit of a treat to be riding there for me I think I’ll stick to the dh👍🏼.
P.s The blacks might not be as far away as you might think 🤔
The black trails look intimidating but anyone with reasonable experience could get there. At race speed they'll bite back but at a nice steady flow they're fun. Just follow someone first time down.
Cool vid and love me some BPW, i would suggest Sixtapod into Willy Waver as a warm up for anyone going the first time, it has crazy good flow and gives you a good taste of what the Blues are all about there.
The Flash Thanks pal, Good shout with those..... Gotta be the best blues there 🤷🏼♂️??
shame she’s shy , looks a good rider 🤘
Keep shredding Sophie 🤘
Col Rock100 She’s a great rider! We rode the DH World Cup Track in Les Gets a few weeks back and she had that covered!!!
Thanks a lot for paying this vid! I’m heading here soon and was scared of the trails would be to hard!
You’re welcome 👍 you will be fine..... since this video was made they have also put in an even easier run called kermit
Can't wait to get down there, been hammering leeds bike park lately 😆🤣
Not a bad place to have locally! and only a few more days to wait until it opens again!
@@MtbTrailHub looking forward to popping my cherry 😆
Nice video, thank you for sharing.
Can I ask, do you use a chest mounted Gimball to get your footage? It is smooth.
Forty Something Rider Thanks👍🏼...... yeah I use the GP4 with a gimbal for the riding footage and then Gp7 in my pocket for the 3rd person stuff......
Awesome video! Just what Iv been looking for before we hit bpw next mth! When will you be uploading the video for the Red runs dude? 😎🤙🏻
Mark Kirk spot on👍🏼 glad you liked it.... I’m hoping to get the reds out by the end of next week👍🏼..... also loads of info in the podcast if you’re into pods
@@MtbTrailHub Sweet! I shall check the podcast out for sure! Look forward to seeing the video too man 😎
@@MtbTrailHub where can I find the podcast mate?
Mark Kirk There’s a link in the description to stitcher (if you’re android) or if you use and iPhone just search for the Mtb Trail Hub Podcast in the podcast app👍🏼
@@MtbTrailHub ah so there is! Thanks again pal!
Awesome vid 👍 What camera have you got???
Anthony Kahwati Thanjs Anthony 👍🏼. The POV is a go pro 4 blk with a gimbal and the 3rd person shots are go pro 7👍🏼
Beast of Burden is the climb for if you don't want to take the uplift. Great video really useful thanks
Jack Z Cheers Jack👍🏼. Sounds like you’re speaking from experience? How is the climb?
Do the blue trails all link? And could I do it without having to get an uplift? I.e could you ride to the start then ride through all the blues back to the car park?
Luke Rees Yeah the blues lead to other blues so you won’t be left somewhere and forced into a red or black trail. There’s loads of blue trail combos you can string together. It’s all really well sign posted.
The trails there are so worth it. Been to bike park twice and I’m already hitting the red trails because they push you so far and are so well constructed. Fav trails have to be sixtapod into willy waver. So worth it and both give you a variety of challenges
Ckeakypeas yeah very confidence inspiring 👍🏼. I’m assuming the new section of willy waver is 👌 then....
Which one is the trail with the really nice tabletops?
Fh4 broccoli Id guess you mean popty ping?? What is the time stamp on the video?
there for couple of days, think can do all blues in a day?
Yeah I recon so, You'd have to be pretty on it to do them all. Ample riding here across blues and easier reds for a couple of days. Enjoy
@@MtbTrailHub yea did all the blues in a day. Got All but 5 red trails 👍
It is a shame I live on the opposite side of Britain, Bike Park Wales looks incredible!
It is an absolute beast of a Bike Park! It's still worth the drive and loads of really good riding near by too.
Is BPW ok for hard tails you guys think?
Hey James, yeah sure…. Hardtail is prime for some blue trails….. reds too if you don’t mind beating yourself up a bit😂
Can you ride the blues on a hard Tail?
Kevin Hall yeah I recon so, full suss preferred but most of the blues are pretty smooth so it shouldn’t be a problem 👍🏼
Kevin Hall I ride blues and reds on a hard tail they can be tricky but you should be okay, I haven’t had any major bike repairs so far
Great vid, Popty Ping is Welsh slang for a microwave.
hanz2502 Great name for a trail 😂. Cheers
Is that fanny like a melted welly ? That's my take on my old merthyr stomping ground
Would u recommend going to BPW for beginners or ?
100% Yes, Perfect place for new riders looking to try some uplifted riding. You can progress so much quicker and get more riding in by using an uplift service. The new Green trail at Bike park wales will have you covered!
Mtb Trail Hub thank you so much
I wanna try my canyon torque up there 180 mm travel , hopefully I can hit some bigger jumps , last time I did enter the dragon and landed in the trees 🤣🤣🌲🌲🌲🌳🌳🌳🌲🌲🌳🌳🌲🤣🤣👌🏿👌🏿
Paul Cartwright having the extra travel defo helps you get away with the odd case or 2 😁! Have a blast Paul👌
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤟🏾🤟🏾
Would a hardtail survive most of these trails? xD
Alan Rogula Yeah I think you’d be fine on the blues..... might be a bit of a rough ride on some of the reds though👍
Lol that it turns out I am such a 'crazy' / 'xc'-ish rider that when i just did bikepark Wales I thought it felt like cheating not to do beast of burden at least once even though I'd paid for uplift day pass
Joseph Kisolo-Ssonko 😂...... old habits die hard! When you ride in the U.K often, pedalling up and around everywhere is all we know! A trip to the alps might change that 😁
Can you ride hard tail here ?
Yeah no problem, If you stick to the Blues( and the new green) that would be fine. If you hit the red trails then that might hurt your bike and your back!! haha
Popty ping is what us welsh call a microwave 😊
love it!
blues are nasty in bpw, you got optional big gaps that you could do :D
POVMTB Nasty is a strong word 😆 ..... Good for new riders or confidence building !! Some sweeteners out there for sure🤔
Im welsh and popty ping actually means microwave :))
Did she say to much UP HILL !
At the beginning???? 🤔
Best not be up hill 😥
😂😂. If you’re sessioning the blues, the trails end at different parts of the park..... some of them with about a 2 minute push to the lift!!
Melted Welly has a short uphill section at the end to get you to Bluebell and some of the newer blues, you can avoid that by coming down Viscous Valley, although that is a red.
No fk one explain what bike better to buy
Mukhtar Mukhamedov ??? Need more details to help you with that one...... check pinkbike.....
