The UK Riding Scene Is Rowdy, Raucous & Rapid - Video
The UK's current crop of young riding talent is mind-blowing, and these two rippers are no exception. First up - Joel Anderson. Somerset's finest airtime addict and Loosefest nutcase. Along with Mike Beasley - Dustyhuckers boss man, skilled trail builder, and one of South Wales fastest lads who never puts the tools down. Combine those two lads with the biggest bike park the UK has ever seen and you've got a recipe for some wild DH trains.

It was awesome to see the infrastructure and the sheer size of the trail network they have there. Being in the North, I hadn't seen what they had going on there. An overused saying, but there is something for everyone. I just wanted to ditch my camera and ride some fast, rough and rocky tracks like this one!
Probably one of the strangest pictures I've ever taken. And I'm not entirely sure it'll happen again. This is one of the older, less ridden 'pro' line tracks that linger on the far side of the hill, that many people probably don't even know exist.
There you have it, some DH trains and a bit of metal for your day. Big thanks to the lads for sending it and cheers to Bike Park Wales/Stans No Tubes for letting us have an awesome day in the valleys.

Where the helllll is that last line at BPW?!
Gotta have a go on that rock booter.
Those talking smack on BPW, would love to know where is better for decent trails per square mile. The big stuff is big, the gnarly stuff is gnarly and everything is fun. It’s trail bike territory I agree though.
