Is This The Best Bike Park In The UK? – Revolution – Part 1

    After claiming that Bike Park Wales was the best bike park in the UK, many corrected me to tell me that Revolution was actually the best.

    There was only one way to find out!

    1. Nice!! Great riding by you both, know how insane that place is!
      Just pulling into the carpark, you know you are entering another level up of riding. Well done, enjoyed that 🤘
      Bring on part 2

    2. That techy stuff looks really pretty tasty. Loved your Spain vids but it is nice to see UK stuff again. Definitely giving me a few ideas for places to visit 👍

    3. Andy cracking vlog riding was 10 out of 10 from you both but I couldn’t stop laughing at your friend with his arse hanging out lol 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧✅✅

    4. Yup, coming from moto and race bikes its never made sense why some countries run the brakes opposite to motorbikes on mtb's…….it'd be like reversing the pedals in your car haha…

    5. Carnt really compare this place to bpw, you have to be confident on a bike to even attempt this place, advanced if you want to take advantage of everything, bpw is totally different, it has something for everyone, from beginners to advanced riders..

    6. Yeah totally different from bpw – in that you need to be decent already to even show up. The fact the one red there is challenging and steep compared to most reds you’ll find, tells the story. No warm up runs, you’re straight into the tech stuff, at least at my ability level!

    7. Dude, came across your edit as we are big Revo enthusiats. To give you credit the film is well shot and presented. But on the negative side, to say at the outset it is 'only for grown ups' is not great advert for the park or our Uk freeride/DH scene. Many have rode all of the park – including 50-1 at the tender age of 11-12-13. It's all about ability not age! Maybe in part two you can capture some of the young talent riding these awesome facilities!! cheers R

    8. The best in the UK. Without a doubt. Great riding – especially on enduro bikes. If you've not been, second best in the UK, in my opinion, is Gawton. Tracks a slightly shorter and they've had some uplift troubles which I believe are now solved… but what they have is great. There are few tracks better than Super Tavi. Please go there next !!

    9. If on my very best day my riding was a 10, I’d grade Revolution as an 11. Still came away unscathed after a bloody good day out, mostly sticking to the reds and tip-toeing down a couple of blacks (which is completely the wrong tactic, tell me about it)… 🤣

    10. yes it is the best because it has everything and the runs are long. I want to go again to conquer the steep lines as it was proper wet and I thought they were death traps haha dont be fooled by the gopro angle

    11. Great footage and enough to convince me that a visit there is needed. I have heard of verbing but a blatant bit of adjectiving at 16:40 very "Innerleithenie"!

    12. Great video, I haven't rode anything at Wales just yet but I plan to very soon. Looks amazing. Also, I have noticed that Miss Mctrail Rider (sorry I can't remember her name) hasn't uploaded for quite awhile, is she not doing YouTube anymore?
