nearly didn't get built...hence the name! We are glad it did though, this trail starts off rocky and rough but soon turns in to a jumpy flowing fast trail that drops your right back at the uplift pickup point. Some great jumps and...
• 95 ★ 4.4 • 3,320 ft • 34 ft • 4,091 •
is a trail that you will soon know very well as it links the visitor centre and the uplift pickup point. Somehow this trail seems to defy gravity, when you reach the end it feels like you are above the visitor centre but you've been...
• 90 ★ 4.7 • 4,823 ft • 15 ft • 3,963 •
Fast flowy run, with small features including: rock garden, drop, small jumps.
• 90 ★ 3.9 • 1,414 ft • 0 ft • 3,737 •
is a fast flowing Blue Run with one of the best compressions we've ever ridden! Beginner and intermediate riders will whoop and holler their way through whilst the more advanced rider may spot some sneaky berm transfer lines, keep your...
• 95 ★ 4.5 • 833 ft • 0 ft • 3,673 •
is one of the favourite trails of the BPW team. A massive gnarly rock garden leads you in to a set of perfectly crafted jumps ending in a step up in to two huge berms. It doesn't get much better than this. Oh la la!
• 95 ★ 4.7 • 1 mile • 0 ft • 3,519 •
is the longest and probably most popular trail on the mountain. Riders of any ability can enjoy this trail. It starts in the open on rocky ground and then enters the woods to take in a series of jumps, rollers and berms. Stand by the...
• 75 ★ 4.5 • 1 mile • 91 ft • 3,516 •
is perhaps the best trail to start your day on. It eases you in gently before sending you flying between the trees at incredible speeds. This one really does make you feel like you are riding a roller coaster on rails. Don't forget to...
• 80 ★ 4.5 • 3 miles • 46 ft • 3,495 •
is the longest trail at BikePark Wales and in fact is the longest continuous blue descent in the UK! The trail starts from the same point as but heads south along a series of open swooping turns rather than east down the steeper slopes...
