The video of our recent trip to Afan in Wales. This is the long version (37 mins) for us riders. It contains 90% of the downhill/trial sections of “Y Wall” and “White’s Level”. Probably pretty boring for non riders. Worth a skip through though. Next time we need trail side camera men for the 3rd person shots!
Here is a redux of the Afan “Wall” descent. I have speeded it up in quite a few obvious places and not in others. Takes about 6 minutes in this video!
From:
The guys have been working flat out on the 4x course, helped by the recent perfect weather. Conditions have been quite dry underfoot and the sun has been shining! It dosen’t very often so you’ve got to make the most of it. Construction on is schedule! (hope i ain’t jinxed it now!!)
The course is really taking shape and the features are starting to stand out. The rock section and the Corkscrew look pretty awsome!
Pictures below and more on our Facebook page.
More soon, as it takes shape.

“No matter what level of rider you are, this trail will be a challenge. Actually no matter how many times you have ridden this trail, you will be challenged on each lap. This is a super fun trail which starts just off the main access road and finishes on the same access road just below another trail to take you further down the mountain. The trail takes a person about five minutes at race pace. Worth the shuttle for sure. The trail builders have decided to name this trail Rockasaurous Rex which is a name well deserved, once you have ridden it you will agree with the name.”
“Now it is time to talk about my favorite trail of all time. Every time we ride this trail you can’t get the smile off of our faces. This is the trail that we call the DH trail. This is the trail that got me hooked on the DH side of mountain biking. There used to be local downhill races held on this trail, so it is very well ridden. It is a trail that we have ridden hundreds of times for sure. It starts just a bit lower on the left hand side of the same access road as Rockasaurous Rex. This trail was originally built by a local pro DH racer Rob Hewitt. He designed this trail for training for World Cups. I think he did an amazing job, combining crazy technical sections with pedal sections and all out fun sections. Every time a person rides this one, you just want to get right back up to the top and pin it again. It is one of those trails where the faster you go the smoother it gets. It really does make you ride it faster and faster every time. No matter what you will be stoked to ride this one.”
