Press Release: Dyfi Bike Park

Dyfi Bike Park opened their new FlowState trail to riders this weekend.

Graded Single Black Diamond, the trail runs 2km down the North East border of the Park and is built for flow with some of the most scenic backdrops in the Park.

"We wanted to create a line that would make riders feel amazing, but that would also work visually to look as good on film as it feels to ride" - Dan Atherton.

Would you ride it? Let us know in the comments.

Book on here.

Huge thanks to Insta360 - Filming and Edit by Peny - Photography by Dan Griffiths.

 Trail looks very nice indeed - would love to ride it one day.
It's something that is often mentioned but I find it ironic that an ad for a camera is edited to within an inch of its life. Does the shot have to change every half second so the viewer can't see what's going on? I mean, it might be necessary for watching riders with no skills, but not for Athertons.

 Trail looks awesome and can’t wait to ride it! I think the visual effects of the Insta360 are really nice, looks like a floating drone following Gee

 Love how it transitions from the open track into the deep forest, and then with the big drop off out the woods. Team did a great job with this one!

 Is Gee retired from WC racing? Thought he was coming back but haven’t seen him yet this year

 Imagine being that f'ing good and not being able to hang or make a cut... helps put the overall level in perspective a bit I think.

 I know it rains a ton in that part of the world, and crushed rock helps maintain integrity of the trail…but did I just see a section of dirt on that track!
