Planning a trip to Dyfi Bike Park? Want to know how hard it is, and what to expect?
Today we are visiting Dyfi Bike Park with the intent of answering the question 'How hard is Dyfi Bike Park?'. We will be looking at how suitable the tracks are for the average rider, and assessing the difficulty of the features on the trail.
Starting at super swooper and working our way up, how far will we go before the tracks get to technical and the features to big for the average rider.
About Dyfi Bike Park:
Dyfi Bike Park near Machynlleth, Wales, is the masterpiece of mountain biking’s most famous siblings, the Athertons, and more specifically the brainchild of Dan, the elder of the World Cup-winning trio. The bike park has had years of dedication and hard work put into its range of intermediate- and expert-level trails by the Atherton family, their friends and colleagues, and Dyfi locals.

Great video, just what I was looking for, your honesty on skill level is great. Thanks

Thanks Peter! Really glad you found it useful 😊

Cheers for doing this vid, I always feel that some of the big bike parks are portrayed as pros only on youtube. I think the bike parks themselves should put more content out which explains roll ability on tracks and bail out options etc.

@stuartmeaney 2 года назад

I was a bit dubious at first about wanting to go to Dyfi park because I don’t feel my skill set to be up there to do big jumps etc. After watching this it’s reassured me that the trails are rideable and jumps don’t have to be on par with the professionals. Cheers lads will look at booking this next year 👍🏻

@GoBikingMTB 2 года назад

You’ll have a great time. Even if you just ride swooper all day, it’s good enough that’d still be fun.

As an experienced but ageing rider I would say your review is bang on target guys. I loved watching and then listening to your breakdowns of the trails. I have ridden there twice now and would say its my favourite destination in the UK by far for all the reasons in your well thought out summary.

Good to see this video and the reality of the bottom of original Downhill. Will have a look at the top as I never ventured there last time and do the transfer onto Super Swooper. Back for the first time since December this Sunday and looking to step it up a bit. Great place.

@GoBikingMTB 2 года назад

Yeah, top section is good fun. Bit tech in places but nothing to intimidating 😊 enjoy your ride tomorrow!

@aaardmark 2 года назад

As a barely average rider, I'd agree with your assessment - anyone can ride Dyfi but stay clear of the double blacks unless you are good. Dyfi is local to me too but I've been putting it off until now, as I thought it was too hardcore. It isn't if you ride within your limits. I went a few days ago and attempted that last bit of Original DH, but had a fairly decent crash and hit my head pretty hard, so I'm off the bike for a bit. Great place, though. Those jumps are huge fun even if (like me) you can't do them. Excellent video, as usual. Wish I could have seen this before I went!

@GoBikingMTB 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed the video Rich! Sorry about the crash, must have been nasty. That bottom section is pretty hardcore. Maybe we’ll see you there sometime🙌

@chimps4gimps 2 года назад

Great vid. Going next week. What order would you recommend doing the trails in please?

@GoBikingMTB 2 года назад

Things have changed a bit recently, they have added a new red called turns in the ferns. Definitely start with a couple of runs of super swooped and then maybe try out either el hippo or turns in the ferns. Once you’ve worked through the red maybe try 50 hits and and original dh track.

@chimps4gimps 2 года назад

@@GoBikingMTB Thanks very much, that’s really helpful. Fingers crossed for the weather now 😁👊🏼

@chimps4gimps 2 года назад

Super Swooper, Turns in the Ferns, Helter Skelter, El Hippo run. Such a fantastic place! Super Swooper into Helter Skelter was the favourite of the day. Will definitely be back.

@TheCynabal 2 года назад

I wish you'd made this video last year, I went to Dyfi in September 20, I'm an average rider and I hit it wayy too fast, it's quite deceiving the start is fast and flowy and then bang! big ass jumps, I don't know how to jump and I took some of them 'I thought' slow enough to roll but still got big air and went OTB once. will definitely bring my speed down in future. I'm going ot Revs in November and don't want a repeat of Dyfi because it rattled my head for the rest of the day when I stacked it.

@GoBikingMTB 2 года назад

Ah man that sounds nasty. We just released our Revs video today. Hopefully that will help you out! If you’re not a fan of jumps I’d recommend starting on the red DH trail as the freeride line has lots. Most are pretty mellow, but if like me your aren’t used to them they can get a bit intimidating.

@pcarts232 Год назад

So true , you can ride Enter the dragon at Bpw quite easy , you can roll it but if you go too fast you’ll be airborne and it’s scary so definitely ride slow to start with 😊

@MovingTargetOne 9 месяцев назад

0:35 "you aint seen me.... right?"

@creaturefiend73 2 года назад

I used your video for Revs and you guys were spot on with trying the red dh instead of the freeride line to warm up. It was honestly out of my depth as a rider.. So compared to Revs are the reds more manageable for average riders? Thanks lads!

@GoBikingMTB 2 года назад

If you were happy on the red DH trail at Revs you'll have a great time on super swooper and El Hippo. It's less tech more flow. There are a few jumps on both but just watch your speed coming into them and you'll be grand. I hear there is a new red at Dyfi called 'turns in the ferns' which we haven't ridden yet but looks equally as fun and not to daunting. Hope you have a good trip!

@@GoBikingMTB I think the steep technical bit (after the loam section) had worn away with the heavy rain as it was very rooty. Dodgy in the wet, but can't wait to get back there. Would love to see you spend a bit of time talking us through the lines you take on the trickier sections of the trails. Would be really interesting.

@GoBikingMTB 2 года назад

@@niseach thanks man. Not sure we would have any authority on the topic at somewhere like Dyfi. But been playing with the idea of doing a similar video with a coach to help us.

@nickocarroll5545 2 года назад

If you were to choose one bike park which one would u prefer.. ? Dfyi , revolution or Antur stiniog bike park

@GoBikingMTB 2 года назад

That’s a really hard question. It depends where you’re at with your skill and what you enjoy. Dyfi and Revs are pretty similar in a lot of respects both have big jumps on offer with some good steep tech. Antur has more to offer for someone finding their feet at the bike park with a mix of green, blue and red trails to build confidence and skill. It doesn’t have as much in the way of jumps but has a lot of rocky tech which is great fun. Hope that helps

@GoBikingMTB 2 года назад

Ah man, thanks for commenting. Great to hear from an original subscriber. Yes, I made sam smokes videos. Work got in the way and then kids so I just never got the time to make the videos any more. Then RU-vid completely took any support away from channels that promoted tobacco use so I decided to start a new little adventure.
