Went back to FOD today on the e-bike. Did Freeminers a few times then hit Countdown & Launchpad. It’s a great place to ride. Has something for everyone.

Absolutely, I’ll defo be back as I’m wanting to hit the more technical trails, especially once the new rig arrives 🤑🤘

Awesome run guys, looks like you all had a great time, hat off to Richard for getting up so quick, hope he wasn't too sore the next day. I Turned 50 this year, and had my first experience of bike parks this weekend. Did bike park Wales Saturday, forest of Dean Sunday, and it was amazeballs! Bike park Wales i felt was too hard on my joints in places, definitely felt I'd accomplished something just getting down the runs (greens and blues) lol. Forest of Dean tried to kill me when I followed my friend into an orange 2, yep that was too much for me on the 2nd part, stayed on, glad I got down in one piece, won't be attempting that run again. Rocks, roots and drops like that are not for me, the mind and body says no, but glad I got to see it the once lmao. Countdown into launchpad i wanted to bring back to Norwich with me, enjoyed that the most, rode it quite a few times to finish the day haha, lots of involuntary cheering on the way down and face ache from grinning so hard, it was epic. The sudden increase in speed when letting the brakes off really surprised me, it was thoroughly exhilarating and addictive, and like you said, easy to get over enthusiastic! Haha last few runs I jumped too far on a few occasions but somehow made turns and missed trees by sheer luck😅

WoW, sounds like you’ve had an epic day 🤘. It’s these kinda days that fuel the passion for more MTB adventures. Stay safe and shred well 💪😎👍

Brilliant video. Just come back from there and you have captured it perfectly. Was there for two days and on the second day had the uplift so was able to do all those runs loads of time. Still have a smile on my face.

Fantastic 👍. I’m pleased it helped you enjoy the trails. As a new MTBer, don’t be afraid of pushing yourself into the next level, walk trails you’re unsure of first, session features and trails to improve and better still, be part of a group who can help and guide you, you’ll be surprised how rapidly your skills will progress. Stay safe and shred well 🤘🤜🤛

It was great to show you around Phill ... there are 6 other main trails to show you as well as miles and miles of off piste so the lesson is .. don't do a Massive uplift day the day before!! 😂 😂 😂 Would love to host a group ride!

Not as challenging as Dyfi trail . More suited to mature middle aged or older riders .

@UPHILLPHILL

4 ай бұрын

Well, as a middle aged/older rider myself, every trail offers different challenges tbh depending on how it’s ridden irrespective of age. Personally, this flow trail is so much fun when attacked at speed and is in a totally different class of trail compared with the Dyfi. Try hitting it at full whack +10% with a few boosts off any feature, it’s a great way to challenge yourself 👌
