Nice vid Will, looks like a decent run, is the steep bit (2:00-2:30) ever dry?
Can't believe only 1 person* has mentioned walna scar
Birketts leap in borrowdale
Along old park beck into seathwaite
Loadpot hill-cockpit-howtown for sheer longevity
*I also can't believe he put san marino above it 😉
Ahem, I did mention Jacob's Ladder. I was first, me me me!
Gonna add Golspie now too. Don't think there's another one that makes me smile so much at the bottom.
Gonna have to visit Golspie now after the comments over the last few days.
My favourite descent nearby is Mast Blast on Ben Aigen - just a fast grinner with lots of small jumps.
Favourite foreign descent has to be the Swiss DH off Pointe de Mossette down to Les Crosets.

Rangers Path - Snowdon
Death Valley - Malvern
Cachette - Les Arcs
Cwmcarn DH (what can I say, I likes my DH full blast fast)
I love Jacobs. You just have to hit it so fast, then it is really fun!In terms of cavedale, yes, it is great fun! Quite technical, god knows why you woudl want to go up it
See my vid of down it:Think I know which decent you on about. It is fun, very fast, with some nice ruts you have totry and stay out or stay in
Very nice vid, i'll have to deffo work that descent into my next ride in the peaks!
Is cavedale the one down from Rowter Farm into Castleton?

Steep wet rocky bit not for the fainthearted
Walna scar for me also.I never get bored of it.Although the decent from fell top down into troutbeck runs it pretty close.
Cheers Donk. That was the one I was thinking of. Good one that.
Last descent on the Marin
Wayfarer Trail, Berwyns
Boundary Trail, Glentress
Iron Keld, The Lakes
can I have three best? choosing one is just not possible!
best for extreme grin factor and ultimate swoopy flowiness that just goes on for ever and ever, (like 30km+ unbroken singletrack that takes about 2 hours of virtually non stop descending!) ....trailAddiction's Mont Jovet enduro ride.

try again with the pic!
Riverbed?
Maybe, starts with a dip from the main path into what you might call a channel, few different line choices. Great for racing your mates.
Gets really rocky and runs alongside a fence for a bit, I remember that because I fixed my puncture next to it.
Comes out on the road opposite the back of a white barn or outbuilding.

If you know that bridleway that drops down to Eaves Lane and Church Lane in Hebden Bridge. Not singletrack but a big grin end to a ride so long as there are no happy hikers around.
Walna Scar
Wheres the 2nd Pic bernard ?
My favourite descent was the track from Slatepit moor between Swineshaws res and Mossley. Sorry, it's cheeky. I used to ride it every day and I knew it so well I could bomb down ot full throttle, my arms were shaking when I got to the bottom. The last time I got to ride it before I moved to Germany this year, I got stopped by a farmer and bollocked. It really felt like the end of an era.
Hello FG, have we met? Are you a member of the Moray MBC? I can't guess who you are!! 😳
