A very popular trail at the Bike Park, a tech red-graded trail that runs well in the wet and dry. You can never tire of this trail as the line choices open up the more you ride it, look outside of the mainline. The A470/Vanta push up path runs parallel to the mid-section of this trail which is great to use if you wish to session segments of this trail. Trust the rocks, they do offer a lot of grip!

A great trail to warm up on if you're familiar with the Blues at Bike Park Wales. A little area just before you enter the woods provides a good place to stop and shake your arms out as you warm up, before you enter the woods and get onto the jumps. All features are rollable.

The more you ride this trail, the more line choices jump out at you. A firm fave of the regulars, this is a step-up from it's neighboring trail, Merthyr Rocks (a blue graded trail found further up the fire road towards the right if you're facing the trail entrance. This trail is broken into two halves so if you find it a bit much, then you can switch on the fire road crossing to Willy Waver, which is just 20ft up on the right as you leave the trail. It runs well in all weather, don't let a damp day put you off as the rock has good grip.

This is probably my favourite Blue route at Bike Park Wales. Nice and flowy but with plenty of interest.

Watch your tyre pressures on this one! You're in for a rough and rocky ride as you navigate your way down the hill over rock gardens, rock drops, berms and jumps. Definitely one that those on full suspension bikes will be smug about! https://youtu.be/tSgidhy3vZ8

Rated as a red trail with a blend of flow and tech, ACDC leads from the trailhead where you exit the uplift down the the fire road halfway down the hillside. The trail mixes more technical sections with jumps with faster running berms and smoother sections, and really responds well when ridden at speed. https://youtu.be/ke6IVuM0U8M

Norkle can be ridden two ways: as a final section down off the hill, leading to a short climb to the uplift pickup, or joined part way down after climbing up from the trail centre in order to reach the uplift. However you join the trail, you'll be bound to enjoy it. Even though you're making your way up to the uplift, it seems to be all-out fun with a few swoops and jumps rather than pedally climbing. https://youtu.be/cMogT9NPBeQ

According to Bike Park Wales, the red-rated Watts Occurring track is one of the most varied on the whole hillside and they rate it as a blend of flow and tech features. Watts Occurring starts halfway down the hill from the fire road, so you can ride a number of different trails from the top to get there, including Sixtapod, Wibbly Wobbly and ACDC. You'll find some great features for getting airtime near the top, with rollers, berms, shark fins and step downs. Then after a series of small berms, a long rock garden awaits and the trail finishes with a jump. Handily, it brings you straight back to the uplift, so you can lap straight back up again. https://youtu.be/pvSGFKVsgVA
