THE MTB TRAILS AT BIKE PARK WALES ARE SICK!
Riding downhill at Bike Park Wales is sick! They have jumps lines, technical black runs, smooth flowing red runs and many more DH mountain bike trails, its the dream!
This was my first time hitting Bike Park Wales and I can't believe I haven't been before, there are so many different downhill trails to choose from and me and Lewi only hit about a quarter of them which is crazy! We were riding our E-bikes but still squeezed in a few runs using the uplift service which was great! Next time we go I definitely want to arrive earlier to make the most of the Uplift truck and get in as many runs as possible! The bike park has a huge amount of runs suitable for all mountain biking abilities but me and Lewi mostly rode the Black and red runs!!
This video was shot using my GoPro HERO 7 Black!
I hope you enjoy the video!

SETTLING IN | Mountain Biking at BikePark Wales
I'm in the British Isles! There's only one place to go when you get to the UK. Get over the Severn Bridge into Wales, get to Merthyr Tydfil and get to Bike Park Wales!
I've learned over the season that riding blue runs in bike parks means you're gonna be getting arm pump - bad arm pump! Longer but fast without so many obsticles to clear or think about, blues tend to be all about carrying speed for ages, and tend to sap your strength and stamina. Decision made in Bike Park Wales, it's all red and black!

Bike Park Wales full run of Melted Welly, Blue Belle and Norkle. BPW Mountain Bike Centre Oct 2013
A long day at Bike Park Wales in Gethin woods by Merthyr Tydfil. This is a full blue run starting at Melted Welly, Blue Belle and ending at Norkle.
One of the longest sections at BPW with lots of fast berms and jumps. There's a short climb section which isn't to everyone liking, but it's worth it.

After recently being persuaded, I have discovered the passion for Downhill Mountain Biking. I am no professional but I intend to improve upon my capabilities. This video contains footage of my recent trip to Bike Park Wales, which is situated in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, UK. Although the clips I was able to capture may not display the best of content, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and hope to improve any recordings in which I may capture next time.

BikePark Wales August 2013
This is just a few clips from our day at BikePark Wales in Merthyr Tydfil. This is basically one top-to-bottom run of the bike park, with me filming following my brother (Dan Hicks, featured in some of my other videos). Neither of us have ridden downhill bikes before, so we aren't that fast or good, but we had a blast! A brilliant day out, well worth it and highly recommended.
This video includes:
Sixtapod - blue grade
Pork Belly - black grade
Insufficient Funds - red grade
Bush Wacker - blue grade
Filmed on a GoPro HD Hero, in 1080p. Enjoy!
