I think it'd be worth a visit - there's 4 tracks and the one in the video is one of the easier ones so the blacks might be a bit more like real DH.  Not sure if they're all groomed, trail-centre style like that one or whether some of the others are more natural.

Website is taking bookings through September but I guess after that the weather would close it down as it looks pretty high up.

Nah, 3hr drive tops, probably 2.5 if you leave early - nice drive if you go via Corwen too, used to do it in the lorry.

That slowmo is fun to watch - here's the non-mobile link if the above link didn't work in your browser:

I think all the trails are equally "unnatural" but at least they should be fairly mud free.

This looks amazing!

For the FD les deux alpes brigade!

Oz en Oisans is accessable from Alpe d'huez or is a 30min drive from Venosc. I went 2 years ago but the weather was crap and we didnt ride. I looks effing mega though

Sam hill signs to crc. What is the world coming to? 

[gingerninja]

went on an up lift here on thursday. http://www.anturstiniog.com/activities-north-wales/mountain-biking/

a really good set up, £26 for the day. the trails we rode were good fun and rode really well to say it was raining. guy who had been before in the dry said it was slippyer in the dry than wet. would be good to link with another welsh trail center and go for a weekend.

He is failing to deliver on the world stage. their top rider is the best junior ever seen.

Hill has repeatedly trashed his shoulders by wearing a neck brace... Now going out of vogue.

Hill was the phenomenon of his era..

Which has passed.

So, now on a small time team... Last chance saloon IMO

Bike looks fine though!
