    My first ever DH I went straight into Popty Ping. What a fantastic flowing trail. Sixtapod gave that longer flow run and then AC DC was slightly to far for first ever DH.

    I live local to Cannock chase and try to ride the reds there as often as i can (so so many hills) and imo they could do with more flow trails. The blues at BPW look perfect for a novice trying to progress there skills further on flow trails. Love the presentation style and format. Brilliant video thanks!

      The black trails look intimidating but anyone with reasonable experience could get there. At race speed they'll bite back but at a nice steady flow they're fun. Just follow someone first time down.
