Great Video but no mention of the how the trails got there ? Dean Trail Volunteers have spent the last 12 years fundraising, designing and building everything you rode, the GBU rebuild cost £25,000 all funded by donations to DTV, always worth contacting Trail Builders for vids, they need the acknowledgement and support ;)
Cheers Alan, If i had more time to put into each video then i'd love to chat with the builders. tbh i had no idea it was completely built by volunteers. Hats off to you all, it's an awesome venue with some great trails. Thanks
Was thinking this can’t be recently filmed cause the weather is so lush and trails bone dry but launchpad is shut and it’s on the new GBU Jumps 😂 where did these riding conditions go!? Absolute mud fest up there now! Wicked video as always love your content!
Cheers Mo, thanks for your kind words 👍 yeah it’s crazy the difference a month can make! This was filmed on the 25thApril just before bike park Wales opened. Tbh we needed a bit of rain as it was too dry last month 😂
Is it worth the drive from Durham?maybe we could stop over night in a hotel nearby and do it over a few days.We did Glentress last summer and loved it.
Yeah I'd say so, FOD is alot more accessible and clear than Glentress. All the marked trails are obvious in which you can just lap the fire road and pick up on all the descents! Ben sure to tie it in with a day at either bike park wales, Dirt farm or if you want to pedal......barry sidings,afan or risca! Enjoy!
First time I did gbu, didn’t pre ride it, cased the last jump had no speed for the road gap and completely cased the road gap in front of 10 people watching. Very embarrassing
Cheers Callum, Maybe next time! I've got to be careful what trails i feature on the channel these days.....I've heard the off piste is mega there though!

I'm sure nobody remembers it! sounds like you were lucky to walk away! haha
Where abouts in the uk is this or is it not?
It’s just outside of South Wales in Gloucester 👍
Sick video but you missed out on the best trails. Next time you go look for y2k and elephant man on trailforks
