I'm going next saturday and wondering what to expect? I've watched a few videos and it looks like fun, but you can never really tell the gradient. What is it like in the wet? My usual riding is Aston Hill DH and I like getting my wheels off the ground. Thanks in advance.
Thanks grum, I was going to do a search, but got side tracked. I'm doing Antur the day before which is more my kind of thing, then I suppose I will be mincing down on my face at Revolution. I've done the Mega etc too, but the combination of mud, roots and steep turns me into a bit of a fanny! 🙂
Revolution isn't that bad, there's plenty of fun bits, few steep bits. Check the vid I posted in that other thread.
I was with Grum, last year, It took all day to get confident, but I guess it all depends how much you ride that type of stuff.
Some stuff is that steep you can't stand on it !! 🙄
Nice vid, I was watching that earlier! How does it compare to Mynnd Du, Rheola etc? Apologies for the spelling.
It's not that bad - would have been a lot easier if I had the balls to stay off the brakes a bit more, and I was a bit fitter. By the time I was confident enough to ride most of it vaguely properly I was knackered.
I thought it looked easy from watching videos!
Sorry, never ridden Rheola or Mynydd Du.
Some stuff is that steep you can't stand on it !!
A 45* slope would be difficult to stand on, yet would be easy to ride down though?
grum, isn't that always the way!The conditions in that video look pretty good, I would like some of that please!The drop into the jump area looks good!
yet would be easy to ride down though
depends if you have 2ft drop offs, off roots on the slope mid corner 🙄
*starts searching for mud tyres*
Haha, all I was saying was that just because something is difficult to stand on, doesn't automatically make it hard to ride down 😉
chakaping, mine are currently fitted, but will have to come off for Antur or they would lose every last knobble!
