If you have time folks please check out my vid from last weekends Dyfi Enduro. It takes in most of the descents and shows what makes the Dyfi unique with regard to the atmosphere.
I'm riding a H/T so go easy on me 😉
Did they not do the final ClimachX route on the enduro?
nope
What a waste of the best descent in wales.

WTF?!!!!
Hardly: they piled a load of extremely good descents into the route which avoided the CliMachX route altogether. Sending 750 riders down the Climachx in one go wouldn't have been good for it, and given the trail centre was still open, would have been a pain for other members of the public.
One of the reasons for the event is to showcase the other trails they have to offer.
Climachx descent has been partially felled and IMO its nowhere near as good as it was.
I'm glad they don't use it.

Ditto that.

For that reason.
Personally I prefer oranges to apples.....although admittedly I have never actually tried apples.
Awesome video, well done.
Thoroughly enjoyed that.
Sadly, I've twice entered it, and twice had to pull out beforehand. I'm determined to ride this some day..!

I rode it recently and it's still fantastic. I'm not sure what difference the felling makes.

Don't get me wrong, its a cracking descent, but there's sooooo much more good stuff in the forest, there's no need for it.
Also, most of the descents used in the Enduro are sort-of quad bike wide, so there's usually space for overtaking. Trail-centre trails rarely have that luxury.
Nice video!
I know you shouldn't laugh at the misfortune of others (yeah, right!), but have you seen this Dyfi vid: 😆

Personally I think the open sections loose the feeling of speed. Also it there were trees across and the track has worn significantly in certain areas since last summer.
It just didn't seem as fast, flowing or fun as before.
