Spent the day at Southampton bike park and Lordswood, the place is just astounding really considering it's a local park in a random town. Lots of it built by a forum member who kindly showed us around the park and also the woods too. Sone fun Swinley type trails in the woods.

Lovely built trails, jumps, berms, groomed, smooth, awesome.

Massive kudos for my boy doing this gap in the woods, he just makes it look effortless.

Worth a 1.5 hr drive each way?

If you like a bit of jumpy park fun I'd say yes. A chunk of it was out of my ability to fully enjoy.
My jumpy 12 year old wants to buy a house there

I’ll probably be making the 35min trip after lockdown.
But thats more for a jumpy yoof too.

Yeah I'd say so. Was 55 min each way for us and I don't feel bad about it that's for sure

It's almost 4 hours away from me and I'm planning on making a weekend of it in the spring.

This jump is apparently called a suicide no hander, hands off the bars and clap behind your back while in the air
