yeh not a bad bit for a cross country loop the other side is better lots more air and when its bedded in will be fast too but still not real downhill but there is talk of a downhill track lets hope so as scratchmere looks finnished.

I'm not being a prick but the end bit of the trail is an awful DH track? The corners are horrible and don't flow, the table tops are way to steep as are the trannies it is by no mean a DH course as it is hardpacked with no technical features no descent drops or jumps, don't get me wrong if you are into cross country and not downhill then I am sure it is great but it could be so much better. I think they should build a DH track there aswell as a beginners downhill course as the corners would be terrifying if you had just started. Feel free to give me negative props however i am only offering my opinion.

SlatOfCarlisle (Sep 11, 2008 at 10:46)

Lol nah its by no means a DH course but it does go downhill and it is a section of the loop hence the name of the vid! I think the table tops are great and the berms are sweet. If ya wanna step up on ya downhill rig I will be more than willing to give you a run for your money!

Yeah it's not full on downhill by any means but its just great fun, I went there yesterday it was so much fun!

Ashcarlisle (Jul 25, 2011 at 13:48)

went round that loop for the first time this year and i'm not far of a beginner. I gotta agree some of them corners were shit scary, but watching this you cant tell.

harry-h (Jul 25, 2011 at 13:52)

today?

Ashcarlisle (Jul 25, 2011 at 13:54)

no february-ish

harry-h (Jul 25, 2011 at 13:55)

ok, I was there again today, got to say, the climbs are much harder than I remembered, and some of it is so god damn boring.

Ashcarlisle (Jul 25, 2011 at 13:58)

yeah, gotta agree there is that big climb

Going to mabie on friday, think its better riding and there's the 4x
