![Jumping Sketchy Gaps On [SECRET] MTB Trails At Bike Park Wales!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/6D12oRu847g/mqdefault.jpg)
That’s a brilliant guide. I’ve not ridden mountain bikes properly since late 80’s and would like to get back into it but was a bit confused about route difficulty but this video actually shows what all the colours mean. Cheers 🍻
Thanks. I'm glad it was helpful. Hope you have fun out on the trails.
I really enjoy your videos. Editing, content, and humorwise too.
🤣🤣👊 that was brilliant to watch thank you,put a smile on my face as I can relate to so much of what you was saying 😀
Quality, great video!
i have just come across your channel and it’s great to see someone doing reviews without climbing ever gap and tabletop. your commentary has me smiling till the end cheers
Has to be one of your best vid's to date, brilliant "deep" commentary and well edited.great stuff.
Thanks, Craig. BikePark Wales is such an epic place to ride. Can't wait for the next visit.
It's always great to get back to trails that you really enjoy riding, a lot of CZcams videos tend to focus on techy rides which ridden by experienced local riders look amazing but require a lot of practice but it's also great to share the flow trails as they are great fun to ride and require less learning, which is why I enjoy coming back to your videos as you show a lot of flowy trails which I also enjoy, great advice and narration as always, keep sharing and thanks! 😁🚵♂️🤙
Thanks, man. Much appreciated. Been out on some local trails all day, trying to look like a pro. Don't think I was fooling anyone. ;)
Your videos are so good mate thankyou so in formative
Thanks. Really glad you're enjoying them.
First time this weekend. Can't wait! Thanks for a very detailed heads up :)
No problem, Mark. I really hope you enjoy it. If you want to see more, I have another video from BPW that I released a couple of years ago. There are different trails on that one.
Riding rimdinger on a hard tail was rough as hell, ton of fun though!
Great video mate.
Great to see you back out
😎
Thanks, man. Really enjoyed filming and editing this one. Wish I lived closer to BPW.
I love your videos. Im literally about to watch it through again. Loved your comments about the ✋'s 🤣 and conservative neckline. Proud sister in law right here! 🙌
100% the best comment I've had on a video. :)
Top work as always bonny lad
Cheers, man. We need to book for next year.
Great video
Thanks Toby. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it.
I think I was your 5,000th sub 🙌
Keep up the great work 🏆
Thanks for the support, Rick. It means a lot. DM me on Instagram and I'll post you a sticker.
There you are indeed. Looks so good at bpw 👌 subbed!
It is. A week in Merthyr is certainly the highlight of the MTB calendar.
Another cracking video...nice work sir
Thanks, Stephen. I really enjoyed making it.
@@MeantforDescent Ive been meaning to pop over there for ages now but its a long schlep from Norfolk :) Keep up the good work.
It is, but worth it. I think it was around seven hours for us this time.
Back at bike park Wales! Yes mate! 👍
Cheers, Alfie. It was great. Can't wait to get back again.
High quality content mate 👍
hope you grow big!
Thanks, Finley. That means a lot. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video Chris.
Cheers, bonny lad. How're you doing? Gonna be joining us on the trails soon?
Meant for Descent aye, now that chemotherapy is done. A couple operations and I’m there dude.
Excellent. You'll have to start prepping your bike.
Great work
Thanks. I really enjoyed making this one.
@@MeantforDescent can't wait till I can get down the BPW place looks stunning
It is. The trails are amazing and there's nothing like an uplift. I honestly can't recommend it enough. Already thinking about the next trip.
Good vid that 👍
Thanks, Adam. I'm really please you enjoyed it. I loved being back in Wales. Can't wait for the next visit.
Great video mate 👍🏻 I can't wait to get back there but this video will have to suffice for now!
Thanks Dominic. I know what you mean. Already looking forward to the next trip.
How do you only have 4K subs. You’re gonna have way more soon I’m sure coz these videos are really good 👍🏻 informative and funny. Cheers dude
Thanks, man. It's criminal, isn't it? Feel free to spread the word. ;)
Hope there is more vids to come after hearing the other places you rode on that trip! Great vid enjoyed that
Thanks, Luke. I'm not ruling it out. I didn't get enough footage to make a video about Windhill, but I did from Afan. The problem is that it was so wet keeping the lens clean was a problem. I haven't reviewed any of that footage yet, so we'll have wait and see.
Meant for Descent fingers crossed mate! Looking forward to next one you bring out anyway
Cheers, bonny lad. Would be nice to get Afan out.
I almost got arm pump watching Rim Dinger! Great video. I have to get there ASAP! Damn you covid!
Yeah, I know how you feel. When you get there, get yourself on Rim Dinger sooner rather than later, whilst you can still hold on. ;)
Another top video mate. That place looks the bomb. Looks like conditions were primo for you as well.
Looks like its gonna have to be next year now to pop the BPW cherry😳 Bloody virus. Love the variety. Ride Safe dude.
Scott.
Cheers, Scott. I can't recommend it highly enough. There's a great selection of trails to ride and getting to the top definitely isn't a problem. The only problem I've come across is not being able to hold on when your arms are pumped. I'll soldier on though. ;)
@@MeantforDescent yup. Arm pump is real dude.
Gets kinda scary when you know your only half way down and you couldn’t crush a feather.
Again, congrats on another top vid. Keep em coming.
Loved it!! Love the term when hands were hands 😂🤣 haha time to internally grind the bones into flour! 🤣😂
Cheers, Ryan. That was a rough trail, but worth it.
@@MeantforDescent looked it, kermit looks like a lot of fun too!!
It is, but you've got to keep your speed in check because there are fewer berms and they're smaller. Trails like Melted Welly, Norkle and Willy Waver are where the speed's at.
@@MeantforDescent they all look like amazing fun!
Need more new videos mate! Rewatched every one 10 times plus now 🤣🤣
Sorry, Bradley; I must have missed this. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Got a couple of new ones out now and more in the planning stage. Back to BikePark Wales in a couple of weeks, and also heading to Black Mountain Cycle Centre for the first time. Really looking forward to both and can't wait to get to work on the videos.
Worth the wait... Too class m8... Can't wait to get there - will be some drive!!!
Cheers, Jonno. It's definitely a drive, but it's worth it. Only wish they'd been open more days when we were there. Still amazing fun though.
@@MeantforDescent we are thinking about going in March
Watch their web site, Jonno. They're closed now because of the local lock down, but I'm sure they're itching to open again.
@@MeantforDescent fingers crossed m8... Not going to book and accommodation till we see what is happening with lock downs. Off to Hamsterley on Sunday :)
Snap. That's where we're going too.
What a video, just getting back into mountain biking myself I so need to get myself here when covid fecks back off haha, be travelling from middlesbrough so not much less than your self so will be looking at a weekend think, I have will be following you video from now on dude 👌🏻
Thanks Daniel. I'm really pleased you enjoyed it. If you're interested I've got another BPW vid here:
czcams.com/video/8dhLfWHY8tM/video.html
You should absolutely get yourself there; it's a blast from start to finish. I really can't wait to ride BPW again.
@@MeantforDescent yes buddy I have been watch most of your videos there bang on, been in middlesbrough we have Guisborough woods and errington/marske woods local but nowt like that bike park walse as I say planning to go after lock down looking at Leeds bike park not sure if yiu have been if you have what did you make of it?
"Glove shaped skin sacks..." brilliant
Thanks. Much appreciated. I think it paints the right picture. ;)
🤣 at rim dinger description 🤣
Thanks Laura. I don't think it really hammers home the volume of chunk that Rim Dinger offers though. ;)
Hi mate how much time would you recommend to spend at bike park wales? Hoping to plan a trip for next year! covid pending! 🤣
Hi Bradley. I would suggest spending as much time as humanly possible there. ;) However, you're probably going to be knackered by the end of day two. Even if you ride the uplift, your legs will be tired because you're constantly out of the saddle on the descents, and your arms will be pumped because you're likely to be braking far more that you would during a regular ride.
We usually book accomodation for a week and try to ride for three full days, back to back. We're usually there for the first uplift at 10am and stay until it closes. If you can afford to, throw in a rest day or two and you'll probably enjoy the trails a lot more.
Cheers, Chris.
Great vid any details on the digs please?
Hi Jared. Details here... czcams.com/video/4KvLIoE1lLA/video.html
@@MeantforDescent thanks buddy just checked dates I want for end of July and its fully booked which isn't surprising as it's a nice place was after one with a hotub il look about cheers m8
Good luck. Its a good excuse to book early for next year, though. ;)
Any rode rimdinger on a hardtail?
Not me. My arms were trashed on an enduro. I'm sure there's some brave soul out there who's done it though.
You ride a lot of red is there any reason for this as I’d have out you down as a seasoned veteran
I don't suppose it really matters what the grade is, as long as it's fun to ride.
My wife is now suspicious as to why I have suddenly requested Wales as our next holiday destination...
Just tell her you've found a new passion for beautiful landscapes and choirs. She won't suspect a thing. ;)
@@MeantforDescent 🙏😂
are you still making videos?
Yes. Absolutely. Hoping to resume normal service shortly.
@@MeantforDescent great, im from north east as well and just found the channel, giving me and the lads some great info for days out
