Glad you enjoyed it, still a bit of work to be done in there, last trail to be finished, conecting bridleway to be made, bit of tweaking and signs to go up, but hoping it will be early in the new year!

This is without doubt a suitably fine effort to all those involved a credit to the biking community,

It makes for a great slice of quality Downhill trails,and without doubt more yet to come i hope from the merry men of sheffield.....

Hmmm.. U dont need to tell me about the pump! I do a lot of bmx.
Tbh... There is a bit, and I do like it for a quick xc blast, but I much prefer steep tech.

Greno woods....DH??? ๐Ÿ˜†

It's people like u who's giving the youngsters today the wrong idea of DH!!! Is it any wonder I keep seeing young lads all armoured up with full face, neck brace, full body suit!! Riding them kinda tracks in greno that I did 20 year ago on a ****ing Saracen hardtrack!!

SCDH is a family / all inclusive track, it's not supposed to be particularly steep or tech

There were a few on here that suggested parts of it weren't even down hill enough to be able to free wheel

deanfbm ??

you do have to pedal but if you keep with the flow and pump,less pedaling is required

I only went to Greno woods once.

I rode about 100yds and my (hateful I-beam) saddle snapped. For some reason this prompted me to grab a load of front brake and go OTB. My mates came back and found me dazed and staggering around. Once I'd regained myself, I went back to the car while they carried on with the ride. They tell me there's good riding in there.

Must go back one day.

you should definitely go back higgo. it is really good.

just ignore the debate over what label should be applied to the tracks and enjoy riding them

just got back from Greno, the new bottom section of the steel city track is excellent. Well done to everyone involved in the build.
