I’ve been lucky enough to ride my bike all over the world at some of the best bike parks Trail spots dirt jumps and that’s got me thinking about how lucky we are to have such amazing bike parks here in the UK despite the fact we don’t really have many mountains today I’m
Going to explain to you why I think our little bike parks are some of the best in the world I’m at wurn bike park today which is one of many little bike parks that we have here in the south of UK and it’s also a perfect place for me to
Demonstrate to you guys why these small bike parks are some of the best in the world I’m at the top where the trails begin and the first line I’m going to ride is the transfer line as I see this as like the most popular most used trail
Here so it’s a good place to start this video let’s go then transfer line we’ve had quite a lot of rain but cuz it’s Sandy here the conditions seem absolutely perfect if it’s too dry it becomes like a beach and a bit Sandy everywhere you yeah nice that’s the first Trail complete
Then and I know what you’re probably thinking is that done already that’s quite a quick run but that is actually the beauty of the trails here is that everything pretty much the whole bike park is on this hill behind me so it’s very condensed and there’s a lot of good
Things in a very very small space compare that to somewhere like sbach where you need chair lifts that take 15 20 minutes to get to the top sometimes although the descents are long sometimes the day can feel really slow and not much riding because it takes so long to
Get anywhere around the bike park I know for a fact this is something that people that live in these other countries find amazing about our bike parks cuz when I’ve had other Riders come to visit they love the fact that you can get so many laps in especially if you’re on the E
I’m back at the top already and we’re about to drop into the next track the next line runs almost parallel to actually we’re on it start with then we go right here instead up that little hip then we can drop into there we got a double there which is nice and then we
Come across we got a transfer yo and then we got a step down at the end it does actually carry on that way but it’s pretty flat this section is like the main lap Zone I know you’re thinking you’re watching those clips and going wow they look so fun to ride them
Trails and there’s a load more on that part of the hill but I’m going to take probably a few steps that way and hit some of the bigger features so you guys can see those this next Trail is not necessarily bigger but it’s way more technical just watch this cuz it’s so much
Fun you it’s like a pump track but with jumps pop pop yeah that’s sick incredible fun and then that brings you down to the Free Ride line which has jumps this size on so let’s give them a try here we go then Free Ride line it’s
A black Trail here at wurn cuz it’s got some quite decent just size jumps on it starts off nice and flurry at the top and you can hip down there into the BM and then we go to the biggest jump on the line racer there you nice it’s got
Quite a kick on it that lip out of the shark fin up the step up yo and then as you can see the rest of this track today is shot because of Maintenance but I’m going to insert a clip from the summer riding the whole line all right free
Ride then from the top let’s get it one our favorite tracks here oh behind someone yeah KJ what is it that you like about UK bike parks well I think what I really like is the fact that we’ve got quite a few of them we’re really lucky and
They’re all quite beginner friendly so do you want me to show you a line let’s do it that was a short pedal up it literally took us less than a minute to get from one side of the bike park to the other and I’m now going to show you
Guys constipated snil the beginner friendly tracks here there’s actually loads of them this is just car’s favorite they’re so good for like dialing in your jumping skills yo yeah nice on those brakes yo yeah KJ yeah beginner friendly look at that you nearly crashed you got to keep
Going you not finished it yet oh nice that was well good yeah good job that’s good and that’s like one of many blue Trails there’s loads of like lomy sections down the hills it’s pretty sick we go from one of the most beginner friendly trails to the biggest scariest
And most difficult feature here this is the famous wo bur hip there’s a takeoff fair size and the Gap is big and the landing’s cuz you can go as big or as small as you want on it well you can’t go too small otherwise you’re Landing
The Gap you can certainly boost it to the moon if you feel like it before we hit this I forgot one track over that side which I’m going to go show you right now I couldn’t come to OB and not show you my favorite track here this is stroganov and it’s so much
Fun you there’s an onoff look yo I tell you what you get a squad of you on that doing a train that is so much fun I just had to show you guys strogg off cuz it’s so sick but we’re on course now to hit that big hit we was
Just looking at here we go we’re dropping in you that’s so good yeah it’s always kind of scary that jump I’m not going to lie the last section here at wurn which we are not going to hit today is the dirt jump section I’m sure you’ve seen this in other videos it’s dropping
In woo yes there we go obviously it’s just an opinion but I think that our UK bike parks are incredible and some of the best that I’ve ridden all over the world you’ve got short runs very quick you can get a lot of goes in don’t have to wait
For ages so it’s a very quick session and if you’re a beginner that’s really good because you get to practice your skills a lot meaning you can progress fast there’s lots of different variety all in a very short tight space meaning that you and your friends can get
Creative do trains and the sessions are so fun because not everyone’s spread out over a mountain you’re all riding the same bit of track which is sick this particular bike park is more dirt jump orientated and there is certain ones which are more catered to riding
Downhill but this kind of offers a bit of everything think and most of all it’s just so much fun to ride let’s just sum it up by saying that all bike parks are super good fun whether that’s on a mountain or on a tiny Hill considering
The fact that here in the UK at this part of the world we don’t have mountains and we don’t have elevation so you probably would think mountain biking is terrible I think we actually have some awesome bike parks that are on the doorstep and ready to ride I hope you

I was gonna go Woburn yesterday, I should’ve also 10 mins
I think that's stretching it a bit in the world,,?🤔🤔🤔
BC has the best trails
Nice and well maintained. Looks like a lot of fun indeed! 🎉 There's a track/trail for everybody which is very nice.
I wish they had more of these in Central Texas. We have the hill country and small bike parks like this would be awesome.
My is favourite is 417 bike park Gloucestershire .. as it’s only 15 mins from my house. I’d recommend you check it out if you haven’t been
Have you been to New Zealand Tom?
Dream on, greetings from the swiss alps 🙂 But you have the coolest bikers in the world!
Miss the old regular cardy and pilgrim link ups
Good stuff Cards!
