I’d love to have a better go round where people knew the trails. It felt like whichever trail we went down we ended up in the same one.
I love FOD dh but imo the waymarking isn’t good enough considering what a labyrinth of trails it has. Exact same problem that innerleithen has actually, though inners has a simpler hill, FOD spreads out more. But when you think of it, this is basically just criticising the place for having loads of trails in a small area, which is also what makes it great, so…
Agreed, I can’t think of many places at BPW where you would need a DH bike. But then I guess that’s true for FOD.
TBF, you’d have to be completely stupid to build an uplift venue that needs or even works best on a dh bike these days, it just means slashing your market.
(it’s quite interesting I think, if you go back to the late 2000s people slagged off older DH venues for not behing full on enough, “It’s better on a trail bike” was basically an insult)
