    after doing the uplift there on saturday and id have to ask if anyone else has ridden it and if theyve ridden anything tougher in the UK, i cant think of anything

    havent ridden much of the scottish DH trails
    but imho its tougher than
    Moelfre
    Cwmcarn
    Aston
    Ae

    anyone else ridden it, how do you rate it?

    id also like to say its got to be the nicest place to put a dh track and cafe

    if only theyd turn it into a full blown trail centre!

    not been but doubt its the toughest, what makes you say that, technical, steep, big drops, hard to flow?

    steep, technical, rooty, rocky, slippery, it does flow, if you can hang on
    i think i was put off by the steepness of it all

    theres some pretty steep tracks in the north east like kidland area, if you haven't been to hamsterly you should go you'd like the lower section of the main track, good technically and less steep but a few nice drops to make your brakes work 😀

    well the southerdownhill forum reckon glencoe maybe tougher and having seen some vids id be inclined to agree

    also llangollen is a biotch too apparently

    Caersws is really good, there's about 4 or 5 tracks there too. Might see you there on the next uplift weekend.

    My pals were talking about us visiting this place, but it does look pretty gnarly. How many tracks are there?

    I was going to say Glencoe – there was a video from a race there recently and it just looked terrifying tbh.

    yeah i saw the glencoe race vid

    nant g is just one track but with uplift its more than enough, there are no big drops or anything major to hurt yourself on, its well worth a visit

    although one guy managed to bust his shoulder on teh relatively flat and smooth bottom section
    he got a cool lift home tho….
