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!

what more can i say that looks epic.
The rain in Spain falls mainly on plane !! When we get off it back here !!!! ✈️🇬🇧🌧💦⛈☔️🌩⛈
glad you made it there !! looking forward to see the far side in part 2
Great vid. Looks like Innerleithen Cresta matador
Some intense trails there. Running the ruts looked tight and teccy. Well ridden.
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
Sick video, met you on the top of farr side (green scott gambler) keep up the quality content 👍🏼
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 👍
Bloody great riding! Proper rooty!
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 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧✅✅
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…
Great vid, please can you do one at descend bike park👍
Are we going to see Mrs Mctrail doing another video?
No leeds urban bike park is
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..
You should have gone to Antur Stiniog mate..
Nice one Andrew trying my best to ignore James’s arse crack making a regular appearance over his shorts…
nope black mountain is in wales, that place is mega.
Haha subtitles come up, bike park wheels 😂😂😂😂
Great riding from you both Andrew.
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!
Great vid 😎 shredding it on the tech 🤘
Revo bike check vid ??
What tyres and pressures were you running ??
Great video, but defo need to do something about yer mates arse crack 😂
Need to get yourself to Sabden now?!!
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
Undoubtedly the best…… Bpw for the masses. Revs for the proper uplift. Best tracks in the milkyway
This is mech for MTB riders in the uk
blimey how many uplifts do u keep doing haha ??
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 !!
Black Mountain Cycle Centre is banger as well in Abergavenny South Wales
Looks awesome
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)… 🤣
You said it for adults but im 15 and could do what your doing
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
That first red trail looked gash but the rest of it looks awesome.
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"!
Great vid, Harry Main rides these trails you should check it out his vids also ……decent !
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?
Don't sleep on black mountain, it's smaller but atmosphere/uplift wise it's second to non. Revs is the best though…
What pressure do you run…. great vid
You need to talk more about prices
This place looks absolutely incredible, super excited to ride this place. I'm a newbie to the mtb world hamsterley was incredible this place looks on another level 😍😍
I actually watched this to the end….that’s a complement.
