Bike Park Wales has some gnarly Black/expert trails! BPW is known for it's massive trail network and endless miles of flow trails!
In this video we session a handful of the Black runs and walk through some sections to really give you a look at what Bike Park Wales is all about!
We take a ride through the re vamped Enter the dragon as well as the longest tech trail, 50 shades of black. This part of a 3 part mini series that also breaks down the Blues and the Red trails too.

Having just started mtb'ing and went to Wales yesterday, I have huge respect for what you guys are doing. I'm comfortable on blues but they drops are the ones that shit me up, need to get some practice in and get my manuals a lot better. Great work!

@MtbTrailHub 2 года назад

Thanks Alex, They do love a blind drop at Bike Park Wales....even if they are small they can still be intimidating when you don't know the trail. Check out a few 'drops' tutorials ..... once you have the technique down then you can carry it to any size drop, that coupled with the right speed and you can drop anything! (within reason) Good luck!

@Gingerbadger80 4 года назад

Love to be able to send jumps like that, I had a big OTB after landing a jump, the front wheel folded after landing and sent me like superman down the trail. Now even small jumps or drops cause me to stiffen up an ride around. 😩

@MtbTrailHub 4 года назад

kerry powell wow that sounds nasty! It sounds like you could do with building the confidence back up. Maybe find a section of jumps that are fairly mellow and keep riding them and add a bit more speed each run (if comfortable) . The only way to get comfortable in the air is to keep practicing.......🤷🏼‍♂️

@u700495 4 года назад

Love all the different angles you get in the videos, these are the kind of MTB vidoes that will do well. People get bored of just POV constantly. However this is a bit more fresh. Sick riding. My drop limit is about 3ft and every time I hit a table just now I'm still grabbing the brakes. "Not today" is my over used phrase!

@MtbTrailHub 4 года назад

Kenny Bunting Cheers Kenny👍 Yeah I want to try and keep it interesting..... there’s enough POV out there that’s for sure! Keep building up the confidence and your be sending ‘enter the dragon’ in no time 😜

I've just got back in to riding after four years off following a riding accident. My best ever riding experience was racing in the Welsh champs starting on the enter the dragon jump line with loads of people cheering us on. I did a lot of races but that was the best track and most fun race weekend ever.

@MtbTrailHub 2 года назад

The glory years!!! It must have changed a fair bit since then! ha, can't imagine it being much of a race track nowadays.

@AverageJoeDH 4 года назад

Used your review of 50 Shades as a blueprint for my run this week. Worked a treat, and gave me a heads up about the cheeky monster step down in the second section. I didn't have quite enough skill for that and your vid stopped me blindly going for it. (Go Pro effect on other vids initially made me think it was smaller than it actually was) Spot on - thanks! BTW I don;t think many people bother with the little blacks over by Bluebelle - but next visit check out the new drop into Half Cut.... :-o !! Cheers bud....

@MtbTrailHub 4 года назад

Excellent and fair play for riding the black trails blind. I don't think personally I'm missing out by not riding them. Much prefer the flowy red and blue trails that open up to all abilities. Good video and pat on the back for enter the dragon.

Did 50 shades after 2 years of riding, basically 2 week long finalie trips and 1 week in Alps and a couple of races. Walked the big drop ! Road gap just before was okay though. This stuff is fun, though I'm still working up to doing big jumps.

Same as the red trail video. Good trail information coming through in the video. You need to refrain from walking back up the trails and stopping in the middle of them though. This video will be seen by a large number of people that will consider it as acceptable behaviour. This is not the case and is dangerous for you and other riders descending the trails.

Going off the info on the map..... 50 shades is the longest gnar trail. Bear in mind it carries on past the jumps shown in the video. There is a couple more pro lines but I’ve not ridden them tbh. I get the feeling there isn’t a huge amount of technical trail beyond what’s in this vid. If you want harder features then get a ticket to rampage mate 😂. Or go to Revolution 👍
