I'm thinking of moving back to Bristol
I love riding big tabletops/double/gap jumps (Like the last big left-hand tabletop on Cwmcarn DH for example)
Does anyone know if there are any jumps like this in or near Bristol?
Failing that are there any DH tracks near?
I've heard about some dirt jump spots but these are usually a bit tight for my "freeride" bike
I don't have a car so needs to be rideable from city centre or public transport-able
Ta

Ps please don't say Cwmcarn as that's where I'm moving away from!

Not really, some stuff in Leigh Woods but would be a pain to session. There's a small 4x track somewhere to but not been there myself yet so not sure what the jumps are like

More for depressed jumpers than MTBers

I'm sure Cam Zink would have a go at the "Clifton Gap" though

Close to Leigh Woods and Ashton Court.

There's the new mini-4X track at Stockwood, which is built on the side of a hill, so it's a bit more big bike-friendly than most BMX tracks.

There's a bit of a gap in the DH scene after the main spot got shut down a couple of years back, but there's another local wood about 10 minutes from Ashton Court with a little DH area, including some fairly tidy gaps.
