 Proper dh track? It´s really bikeparky. This is more a freeride track to me.

 @Zany2410: If you ever get the chance to ride there, you will see it is a proper DH track. Super Gnarly, tight, fast and tricky conditions most of the time. One of the best in the country.. Wink

 @zoobab2: Revolution is in the village of Llangynog, Powys in Mid Wales. Easy access about 20KM from Oswestry in Shropshire

Revo is a great place with a good choice of tracks from the Freeride to get to started and warmed up onto the Pro-line etc. The 50/1 guys have been building as well but these are not open to the public

 @zoobab2: As @Rowlapa1974 said..

Fast friendly uplift. Places to stay in the village. Close to many other amazingly accessible DH tracks.. 1 1/2 hours from Liverpool Airport. The whole area is worth a weekend away.. Smile

 @Zany2410: You have obviously never been,it is far from a "bike parky" track it is mostly steep,rooty,rough going natural type track.They do have a free-ride line over the other side,but this one definitely isn't.

 Looks fun! Felt my stomach G out in a couple of spots, Makes me want to go out and ride with my broken collor bone, I guess a little XC fire road won't hurt.

 Love the sketch in that last twisty section, totally overcooks it and rides it out with style...

 As expected a pro makes it look easy. I was sliding down on my backside most of the way when I tried that track in the wet.
