Video: Carving Loamy Turns in 'Winter Flow'

Norfolk isn't exactly synonymous with mountain biking. The East of England is regarded as one of the flattest parts of the UK. However, a visit to the county over the winter months tells a completely different story. The scene has come along way over the past 10 years, a full sus bike used to be a rare sight in the county, but now the number of riders is growing rapidly.

The talent of the local riders is impressive, especially when considering the limited gradient available. UK lockdown has allowed them to concentrate on their local spots, and they are now truly something to behold. In central Norfolk, lies one of the UK's most pristine jump spots, each jump is precisely hand-built, and the relatively low traffic ensures the runs are as smooth as butter.

Closer to the coast and you'll find lush pine forests and bracken covered ground, look in the right places and you'll come across countless loamy tracks that will keep you busy for months. With the dedication of the locals, new tracks appear regularly during the winter months, whilst less popular ones become overgrown and return back to nature. These really are tracks that can be ridden as fast or as slow as you like, the deep loamy turns offer endless grip, whilst kicking up plenty of roost.

It was a real pleasure to shoot some video with the guys. The 'session' attitude of the riding here means each turn and jump are ridden to the limit, which hopefully makes for some entertaining watching! The scene is showing no signs of slowing down, so it will be exciting to see what comes out of Norfolk in the near future.
