Cool riding man, it's a shame that they have taken away some of the wooden features at Watchmoor now

Finally got a response from Moors Valley. Here's what they said " Hi Jack,
Really sorry for the delay in our response - we do appreciate the interest everyone at Dorset Downhill has in the Watchmoor Bike Park. The removal of the wooden features was a responsive one and we do want to make sure the development of the bike park is well considered.
The older timber structures were removed as they have been in place for some years and we felt they were becoming unsafe. When we provide features that carry an element of risk for riders, we must be certain that they are secure and that the timbers are still good and these were not.
In the future we aim to change the focus of the park a bit and create runs and features out of the existing natural 'lines', perhaps importing some stone and rock. It is probably fair to say that the most popular area of the bike park is the pump track, not least for the fact that it can be ridden in all weathers so we felt that we should learn from that.
As ever if you have a view as to how best to develop the bike park please let us know and we will try and include it in our thinking."
Sounds alright but the place might be as good for trials anymore!
