    It’s great. A good fun little track. I parked on Rutland Road and rode the loop a few times on a sunny, frosty Sheffield morning. Lovely.

    Nice to see a few folks out on the track too enjoying and exploring (as much as you can!) Also, it was nice to bump into a couple of people who’d come from a bit further afield to try it out.

    A few things – the berms are great. I am rubbish on them.
    The jumps are great for a beginner like me. Again, i am rubbish on them. The rock walks(?) I could do the one at the bottom of the hill, but struggled on the one at the car park.

    It was shame to see some folks cutting some of the corners already though – to get a shortcut of 5 metres and I could see a place for one more berm.

    Overall, cracking work. Looking forward to seeing more in Sheffield

    Great fun. Cold weather sets the surface like concrete too. V grippy.

    cracking work on what little they have all the same. Fingers crossed something gets done with the ski village.

    I went for a walk up there yesterday – there were loads out again. I’m going to set up a coffee trailer!

    Went last weekend to give it a whirl – fantastic effort by the team who built this. Brought home how pants I am but now there is somewhere in my doorstep where I can go to improve on the berms. Would love to see something made of the ski slope as well. Great to see this kind of thing appearing so close to the city.
