    My first ever DH I went straight into Popty Ping. What a fantastic flowing trail. Sixtapod gave that longer flow run and then AC DC was slightly to far for first ever DH.

    1:31 narrowly avoids collapsing into laughter when he suggests us mere mortals can progress "maybe to the blacks"! Great content Jamie, surprised you haven't got more subscribers. btw, Beast of Burden is great to do at least once on an e-bike

    • @MtbTrailHub
      @MtbTrailHub  5 років тому

      Graham Smith 😂 Thanks for your kind words👍🏼 I’m sure if you’re local then the beast would be worth a go but as it’s a bit of a treat to be riding there for me I think I’ll stick to the dh👍🏼.
      P.s The blacks might not be as far away as you might think 🤔

    • @stevec6427
      @stevec6427 2 роки тому

      The black trails look intimidating but anyone with reasonable experience could get there. At race speed they'll bite back but at a nice steady flow they're fun. Just follow someone first time down.

  • @DavesfromMars
    @DavesfromMars 5 років тому +2

    I live local to Cannock chase and try to ride the reds there as often as i can (so so many hills) and imo they could do with more flow trails. The blues at BPW look perfect for a novice trying to progress there skills further on flow trails. Love the presentation style and format. Brilliant video thanks!
