Did you read the rest of the thread?
mm, why? I can't see the location explained anywhere else in it.

Holy Moly

Also regarding this trail, down the end as it drops into the bowl, on the extreme left hand side someone has cleared a drop between the trees, which I can only assume is a joke?
If you hit it at anything more than walking pace you will end up flat landing in the road!
The gap, fine - that drop? No thanks. 20ft hucks to flat should have stayed in the early 2000's.

@Hob Nob.....it's no joke

Davebust - I wimped the old one a few times, cant imagine what new one looks like in the flesh. Might need some flat pedals rather than spd's just in case!!
Out of interest is there much to the west of this trail (ie. RHS looking up it or LHS looking down)? Near the top, there is the flattish looking bridleway. I mean to have a look down this to see if there are any nice trails to the SW but haven't done so yet.
Vinnyeh - you will learn quickly. Frustrating I know!!

Really? I noticed it's stepped with a lower line which looks fine, but the high line looks nigh on impossible to hit cleanly. Has anyone hit it?

very low speed drops are ok, there's one on dirt merchant that's 10'+ that if you went off at a decent pace (even a brisk walk) would be 15'+ to flat
doesn't mean its not fun

Sounds similar - however thats got a nice big lander.
This has a small section of trail between a couple of trees, maybe 6ft apart, with a road in the run out...
It looks about as much fun as a punch in the face!

Might do the same Saturday if anyone fancies an early start from Westcott.
I may be up there, but coming from Peaslake, could potentially meet up and do some of the Winterfold stuff that's less well known. I'll not be doing any 15ft gap jumps though

I often go down from that North London village & would love to be shown some of the winterfold stuff to add to my repertoire. I'm off to Kielder this weekend , but bear it in mind for later in the month ( Sept)?
Similar crack here , not too fast and only stop for cake. soz for the hijack.Posted 8 months ago # -
No worries! I was thinking of 'organising' a forum ride in September, so keep an eye out!

Don't know if there's another one, but if it's the drop to the left of the bowl, where it's very narrow and you ride close to an oak tree on your left, then it's fine. You're right, it's done at walking pace and you push off the drop. Just enough room to stop before the road.

dtp - yes thats the one i was thinking of, unless there is something to the left of that?
Posted 8 months ago # -
If that's the one thats been there a while - then I know what you mean, but it appears someone has cleared the moss back on the bank further up so the drop now goes off the highest possible point. Previously you could straightline the trail (which snakes around the side) with the smaller drop.
Happy to be proven wrong though - i'd like to see someone hit it for sure!

Not that I know of but HobNob mentions....

not seen a 20ft drop but with tattoo dave you never know. I'll have another look around next time I'm up.

is it the one in the video on page one? Because i know of another one that fits the bill but it isn't that

aP - do you wanna go for a ride tomorrow - not got your email address, mine's in my profile if you fancy it. It'll need to be relatively early - say 9 at Peaslake?

I might well be in Peaslake about 9am having a cuppa.

Do the rest of us need to put up a sheet over the bus-stop for you both to get some privacy?
Posted 8 months ago # -
It'd be an idea.
