4X Track in Cardiff
« on: March 13, 2008, 11:09:39 AM »

Hi, As you might have noticed there is a new 4X Track to be opened soon in Cardiff.

I was up there 2 weeks ago (not riding / just looking / don't worry I asked permission and was kindly given a lift to the site) and took some video of the course.

Looks good , jumps, big berms, on a decline so will be pretty fast.

Wind might be a problem over the bigger jumps, and it is a bit of a trek from the car park to the site.

Vid will be posted soon as long as no one objects.

Just wondered how much interest it will generate?

the place is amazing! but is right next to a very very dodgy caravan site. keep things under very very very tight lock and key!

The track at maindy pool is a pump track, this new one is a 4x track. Totally different things.

Maindy is actually really good for training, i ride it alot on my bmx i keep at uni.
