I'm gonna smash it on my full suss this time, not the xc hardtail like before. Honest.

So then you'll still be in third ;-)

Ahh just did a mates race, don't actually ride with him! The guy in second is a nutter too haha.

It's a challenging track, not strictly DH, but a good mix including cardio.

I'm third on the Reaper!
I'm totally humbled by the one minute whupping Roost Slayer has handed me. Time for a Rocky montage training session...

I've ridden with him, he's very good!

Does OP mean true DH or natural enduro? Plenty in Brechfa and Crychan forests if you want steep mud and roots

Where was it?

(EDIT: No points for Nannerch, I know where that is.)
(EDIT2: I know it was "replaced" by Foel Gasnach.)

We walked up that way last year and the track is still there albeit overgrown in places (aah memories)
Used to ride that track as well, got an uplift of Steve Peat one day there too :-). The drop of doom halfway down was good fun for newcomers.
