Looks good. Where abouts is this? as in country wise seeing as you didn't want to give away its exact location.

rowan is welsh dh champion, used to be on the pro mojo team, designed cwm carn and a few other welsh trail centres, hes a pretty big name, and fast as...

he designed this track and i was lucky enough to be on the team that built it.

the track is in the uk, in a pretty unexpected place.
it should be officially open in the new year, hopefully with a regularly running uplift. that is just one of the 3 tracks there, will be one of the best riding areas in the uk i recon (theres a reasonable chance of it being on the nps circuit), watch this space....

heres some vids of one of the other tracks...

Nice helmet cam, you don't see many like that, perfect angle!

Track looks amazing, I'm not seing many pedal strokes so am I right in assuming its mega steep most of the way down? Videos tend to make tracks look way less steep! Come on where is it!!!!

That is actually SICK.

I want to come back now so bad. Also, there's a few lines on there which I hadn't picked up on before, cheers! And nice one on the drop line near the top, that's pretty gnar. Wink

that rock line has always been there but its really hard, which is why we rolled it rather than hucked it! last time i tried it i would have appreciated the netting...!
the poles used to be down the tracks to stop people riding it, all of them had been moved except those ones, when rowan went through them he knocked them so they we even lower for me! ha
