Not the ones on the red or what they call a freeride area at Red 20

But are there any unofficial ones? (Bit like QECP's unofficial stuff)

I know they now have a coaching and skills area now that has replaced the never used Freeride area

But according to the website the coaching and skills area will just be that, not open to the public unless you pay £75 for two hours of coaching

im normally right by Swinley every few months so its ideal for a pedal but if im honest i find it quite boring (no offence to anyone who loves it there)

Did here about some jumps near a hospital but haven't found them yet

Feel free to pm any details if you would rather not post them here

Thanks

The Summit coaching area will have “open” sessions for cheaper than £75. It’s not been officially launched yet as far as I’ve seen.

Red 25 has got jumpable tables. Blue 16 has got some massive step downs.

You can also search for an old trail map on google - that has a few spots on it that are not on the official list. Have a fake I’d handy for when the ranger stops you.

On your right as you climb the hill up to the Clubhouse (Deerstalker, Babymaker etc.) there are a handful of unofficial but well established short downhill trails with jumps and doubles. There are also a few drop options from the top of that area.

There used to be some big jumps between the A30 and M3 - not my thing though so haven't checked them out in a while.

Hospital probably = Broadmoor. Some good stuff over there... Go under the bridge hang a left down the byway and dip into the woods. Lots of self build hidden jumps and drops. Will say no more.

Near Junction 4a of the M3 Minley Road crosses the M3. Just off Minley Road, south of the M3 is a jumps area - fill yer boots.
