Farmer Johns MTB Park

Farmer Johns MTB Park (FJMTB) is located by Marple Bridge, Stockport in Greater Manchester. It consists of several downhill runs and a dirt jump park.

Run by Farmer John and his wife Jill it's famed for its races & events. There is an active community and there are always new developments in the making.

Main DH Track

• The original and main Downhill track are interspersed with North Shore, drops and rock gardens. The bottom woody section is tight and as you would expect rooty. 

Night Race / Burm Track

• This track is just a short run (nailed in under a minute) and kicks off at the starting at the top of the main field. It is famed for the night race held on it. 

Bridge / Hut Jump line

• This run starts with the Main DH track and then diverts off just before the woods. It goes over a north shore style drop off, then through the meadow via some rock gardens. A bridge then lets the night race track link up to the Main DH midway down the meadow. Then the track splits again crossing either the hut jump or diving into the woods to rejoin the Main DH line. 

Mega Steep Variant Line

• This track is simply described as a very steep track. The clue is in the name. 

Root Death Variant Line

• Very steep, extremely Rooty, very technical line.
