Nice vids on Ride.io, looks like it'll be a fun place.

I've never bothered to get good at jumping because I don't find it that interesting tbh

jumps are the best thing about riding!

There's all that good stuff happening down on the ground, and what do you do? You jump over it. It's a sin. Having said that I do like landings and I'm quite partial to a good take off, it's just the bit in the middle

hi, I visited the centre on the opening weekend after a day riding cat coed e brenin.
We didn't book and were very lucky to get places on the uplift due to a few dropping out.
I'm more of an xc rider more than downhill and i found the blue and red trail fantastic, it's very steep in places, fast, full of berms, jumps and drop offs even more extreme on the black sections.
I mainly stuck to the blue and red trail for the day and had bags of fun, the black run was certainly a massive step up on difficulty than the others but it did look good.
Advice for anyone heading down, knee and elbow pads a must, i would recommend a full face even though i took an enduro helmet.
Bikewise is entirely up to you , i took my trek fuel with 120mm suspension and it was good fun but to be honest it was a mixed bag on the day, some people sticking to the black trail on bigger bikes and others enjoying the other routes.
All in all a belting day and i will be returning..

paul
