Generally looks really good! They should've got a decent map designed as part of the funding too though. These top-down maps are tricky to understand, they should look at alpine resort/Whistler type maps. Red looks fun, but I think they've also gone a bit too safe, needs more features. Not sure it would be a blue in Whistler/Alps, almost a green. And yet the blacks seem pretty sendy! 6:44 - poor trail design IMO. Why does the berm start so late?
Yeah their maps is so hard to read i agree! I think the grading is lower than whistler because Scotland isn’t really used to flow /jumps trails yet and also it’s probably more in line with other trails centres anyway, bike parks trails are always tougher. I have heard there’s been a lot of accidents on the fastest bit of the red already too. Black is all rollable pretty much so not too out of sync with the grading of the other trails here I would say, just a step up from the red.
