Enter the Dragon // Blake Samson ~ BikePark WalesGrowing up in Wales, the story of the red Welsh Dragon is one that you learn whilst you are toddling around. The historic battles that formed what Wales is today and the courageous Dragon that freed the citizens. With the red dragon flown proudly on the countries flag, it is a constant reminder of the times that once were.
Many centuries ago, dragons roamed the land. The dragons battled over every town and home in the land. An ice dragons cold hearts could plunder worlds into eternal winter. Trampled towns and cliff top battles was all that lay in the dragons wake. Until the red Dragon, saviour of the land, put an end to their wicked ways. Blood pouring from its chest, the red dragon took a final blow at the ice dragon, liberating the cities from its wintery past! Returning to its cave, the red dragon fell into an endless sleep, and was never seen again.
Until now!

@sicsoma - seeing the comment under your headshot leads me to conclude you created an account almost immediately apon finding this site as, scanning through any of the posted content, rather quickly shows that this is a more gravity/all-mountain/dirt jump oriented site. Don't put it down because it's not your thing. Nobody forced you to join.

I understand welsh fully and can speak it fluently but my spelling is shit is both English and welsh.
Plenty of people speak welsh in both South and west Wales. Goes without saying for the north.
As for the video it is sick. This trail is challenging at the best of times and to rip it like he did he deserves huge kudos.
It's not called "enter the dragon" for nothing!
Come to Wales and ride some of the best tracks in Europe and IMO in the world too!
Nice edit. Ridden there a few times and there's a few lines I won't be hitting plus one I'd never even seen!
