Planning a trip to Dyfi Bike Park? Want to know how hard it is, and what to expect?
Today we are visiting Dyfi Bike Park with the intent of answering the question 'How hard is Dyfi Bike Park?'. We will be looking at how suitable the tracks are for the average rider, and assessing the difficulty of the features on the trail.
Starting at super swooper and working our way up, how far will we go before the tracks get to technical and the features to big for the average rider.
About Dyfi Bike Park:
Dyfi Bike Park near Machynlleth, Wales, is the masterpiece of mountain biking’s most famous siblings, the Athertons, and more specifically the brainchild of Dan, the elder of the World Cup-winning trio. The bike park has had years of dedication and hard work put into its range of intermediate- and expert-level trails by the Atherton family, their friends and colleagues, and Dyfi locals.

I was a bit dubious at first about wanting to go to Dyfi park because I don’t feel my skill set to be up there to do big jumps etc. After watching this it’s reassured me that the trails are rideable and jumps don’t have to be on par with the professionals. Cheers lads will look at booking this next year 👍🏻

You’ll have a great time. Even if you just ride swooper all day, it’s good enough that’d still be fun.

Cheers for doing this vid, I always feel that some of the big bike parks are portrayed as pros only on youtube. I think the bike parks themselves should put more content out which explains roll ability on tracks and bail out options etc.

As a barely average rider, I'd agree with your assessment - anyone can ride Dyfi but stay clear of the double blacks unless you are good. Dyfi is local to me too but I've been putting it off until now, as I thought it was too hardcore. It isn't if you ride within your limits. I went a few days ago and attempted that last bit of Original DH, but had a fairly decent crash and hit my head pretty hard, so I'm off the bike for a bit. Great place, though. Those jumps are huge fun even if (like me) you can't do them. Excellent video, as usual. Wish I could have seen this before I went!

Things have changed a bit recently, they have added a new red called turns in the ferns. Definitely start with a couple of runs of super swooped and then maybe try out either el hippo or turns in the ferns. Once you’ve worked through the red maybe try 50 hits and and original dh track.

I wish you'd made this video last year, I went to Dyfi in September 20, I'm an average rider and I hit it wayy too fast, it's quite deceiving the start is fast and flowy and then bang! big ass jumps, I don't know how to jump and I took some of them 'I thought' slow enough to roll but still got big air and went OTB once. will definitely bring my speed down in future. I'm going ot Revs in November and don't want a repeat of Dyfi because it rattled my head for the rest of the day when I stacked it.

@GoBikingMTB 2 жыл бұрын

Ah man that sounds nasty. We just released our Revs video today. Hopefully that will help you out! If you’re not a fan of jumps I’d recommend starting on the red DH trail as the freeride line has lots. Most are pretty mellow, but if like me your aren’t used to them they can get a bit intimidating.

@pcarts232 Жыл бұрын

So true , you can ride Enter the dragon at Bpw quite easy , you can roll it but if you go too fast you’ll be airborne and it’s scary so definitely ride slow to start with 😊

@creaturefiend73 2 жыл бұрын

I used your video for Revs and you guys were spot on with trying the red dh instead of the freeride line to warm up. It was honestly out of my depth as a rider.. So compared to Revs are the reds more manageable for average riders? Thanks lads!

@GoBikingMTB 2 жыл бұрын

If you were happy on the red DH trail at Revs you'll have a great time on super swooper and El Hippo. It's less tech more flow. There are a few jumps on both but just watch your speed coming into them and you'll be grand. I hear there is a new red at Dyfi called 'turns in the ferns' which we haven't ridden yet but looks equally as fun and not to daunting. Hope you have a good trip!

@GoBikingMTB 2 жыл бұрын

That’s a really hard question. It depends where you’re at with your skill and what you enjoy. Dyfi and Revs are pretty similar in a lot of respects both have big jumps on offer with some good steep tech. Antur has more to offer for someone finding their feet at the bike park with a mix of green, blue and red trails to build confidence and skill. It doesn’t have as much in the way of jumps but has a lot of rocky tech which is great fun. Hope that helps
