 @Martinezorlando, It's totally different to the 2 steep, root infested and chalk/flinty tracks we are famous for at Aston Hill. That's why we built this, so it was a super fun trail that anyone can ride and progress on.

 Matrinez , trust me we have no shortage of technical/rough tracks in the UK so having this ' A-line ' style trail is big new for us over ehre , we have very little in the sence of flow/air trails so this is a rarity for us.

And the rest of the tracks at Aston hill are plenty rough/technical , now we have a good range of style there .

Respect to the builders

 Its great to have a flow trail. Also i find riding A-line and dirt merchant improved my tech riding as well as i started looking for flow on tech trails too. Once you're flowin' your goin'(fast)! And they are super fun.

flag geebeebee Plus (Nov 2, 2012 at 8:41)
 Thank you! We use a Sony FS700 and Canon 7D, though for this only the Sony. TBH, the camera body isn't the biggest deal with filming, it's how you use the camera, the manual settings and the lenses you use. If you invest, invest in better lenses (EF or EF 'L', rather than EF-S on Canon) before better camera bodies! Hope that helps!
