Boomslang is a black run like no other. It's got a great variety of terrain packed into one run. With some speedy slalom berms at the top sending you down into the infamous Fox lillypad. From there you dive into what can only be described as the BEST berms in Wales. These steep curving corners bring you down into the start of the woods and this is where things get spicy. We've left the line choice here wide open so there is a lot to take in, it's steep, off camber and in the right conditions, loam for days.
