💯big up the trail crews them valleys boys salt off the earth right back to the dragon DH days ✊✊✊✊
Loved this! Far more interesting than the nonsense most other bike channels are posting 👌🏻 Bampi is hilarious, looking forward to the next episode 👍🏻 🏴
Big up, thanks Matt!!
All the crew at BPW do a marvellous job and seeing Duncan in his element. Oh is Billy Thackery there still. ( For those who don't know.Billy was known as Billy Trailstar and featured in Dirt Magazine "Down and out on a Hardtail".) Cheers Davi and Olly. Having worked on local trails to me I fully appreciate the work they do.
Big thanks for watching, episode 2 in 2 weeks time!
This was going to be my question too. Thanks Tim, you also asked it better than i would've.
Such an important video, trails don't just appear and maintain themselves! If you ride somewhere for free, you should be going to dig days for trail maintenance!
Big up!
Perfect video guys! big respect to any trailcrew/shapers on the planet, they build our playgrounds!
The lad from Madera didnt take long to pick up a south wales accent did he
Hahahaha!!
Proper!!!
"lush" 😂
Fab video, great work boy. BPW really are the pinnacle of UK bike parks. We can learn a lot from these guys for our tiny park in deepest darkest Cornwall.
Bampi is a BPW legend
*Global legend
Creasin' at some of his replies!
This is so interesting! Didn’t realise bpw has soo much trail maintenance! Also I think I watched this before I was meant to because I found it through a playlist but it’s unlisted!
Hahahaha sneaky!
Proper interesting! It’s obvious how much work must go into BPW, but to have the depth of the trail crew’s responsibilities detailed like that was really cool! Props, for sure! 👊😎❤️

Thanks Rich!!
Duncan Ferris used to be a top 4X racer, in fact I think he used to race for GB! He used to ride at the KIS 4X tracks (Probably the first one to be ever made at Cranham, Gloucestershire) years ago.
Confirmed. Duncan Ferris RIPS and is a wizard trail builder
Jason the best,,he is bike park wales been going for 10 years ❤❤
Agree… should we post the full interview?!
What’s the name of the app they use? Watch it a few times and still can’t figure it out. Absolutely fantastic series though.
BPW all crew is 5 🌟
Yessir!!
A470 from the top! 😮
Looks so fun too huh?!
Awesome vid! Would be a dream job just a shame you can’t live off a lot of the wages in this country atm 😩 I’m stuck in a well paid job I absolutely hate there’s nothing worse 😂

Dream job right there. But the 640 mile roundtrip commute ain't my cup of tea.
That’s a big commute for sure! Haha
Awesome film, really interesting stuff, even the wife enjoyed it. I do have a complaint though - the sound you use to bleep out swearing, its the same noise as a squeaker toy - both my dogs went f*ckin mental whilst we were watching. 🐶
Hahahaha thanks Chris, wasn’t on purpose 🤭😂
they have an app
Amazing huh?!
