Some people will never be happy, trail centres are the best thing to happen to mountain biking, without them the sport would on its @rse. Over the past 20 years trail centres have brought mountain biking to the masses with all the benifits in bike bevelopment that extra income brings.

Its so funny when people diss trail centres as if its stops them going out and doing ‘real’ mountain biking. On you go and leave the trail centres to people who appreciate them.

For those of you with poor memories this my video of what it was like in the olden days: http://www.pinkbike.com/video/144099/

Not ridden the new version yet so can’t comment on the changes….

So from what I remember the trail was broken into three sections. The top part that was quite good. The second section after the fire road which wasn’t that good, was too pedally and was getting cut up. And the third section down to the burn splash which was good fun.

Where are the new berms? Have they improved the whole descent or just patches of it?

Its the middle section that has been upgraded.

I have a video of doing it a few weeks ago, much improved. When i get a chance i might even upload it.
