    Great vid. There’s a few vloggers pointing out that Dyfi’s feasible for most: a great thing! Couple of things I’d add is firstly the progression available there is huge (hence the range of riders who use it to enjoy riding and train) and that there’s great coaching too: the best upgrade for you and your bike 🎉

      Great points, thanks for sharing. Definitely great progression there, Super Swooper and Lovey Dyfi are easy enough for anyone. Even the harder tracks are rideable and reward you more, the better you get. This was our second trip and can’t wait to come back!

    Thanks for this perfectly timed video. First visit for me on Saturday, slightly nervous as my only riding recently has been Golfie and Surrey. I always panic about taking my time down tracks like this, worried someone will be peaved, speeding up behind me. Super excited to see the place properly now.

      You’ll love it! I understand the pre ride anxiety. It is a step up from other bike parks but also many of the trails can be ridden slowly until you get familiar. Start off with Lovey Dyfi into Super Swooper and go from there. Have a good one. Let me know how you get on 👍

      Thanks bud. It’s the only bike I’ll ever need! Dyfi is well worth the visit. It’s 5 hours up from us so a bit of a trek. We went twice in two weeks 🤣 it’s that good. Trying to figure a time to get back next month. Probably worth making a weekend of it 🤘

      A little worried about tyres though. Do u think DD casing will be OK or are proper DH tyres req? Thanks

      I think you’ll be just fine on double down casings. My lad was on DD rear and Exo+ front with no issues. They sell Conti’s in the shop too just in case you get unlucky (which could also happen with DH casings to be fair).
      Have a great time and let me know how you get on 👍🤘

    Such a great video, you’ve captured the essence of the best (& my personal favourite) track at Dyfi👌. I’ve also been plucking up the courage on a number visits and recently got comfortable with it which I was absolutely stoked about! I also documented it on my channel. It would be great to meet/ride with you one day bud. Cracking choice of rig btw👌
