Love this place. I’m only blue skill level but getting better every visit... and my boyfriend is delighted I’ve taken to this!! It should come with a health warning: highly addictive and expensive ???

Having taken up MTB last year in Tignes, this has been my first year coming to Bike Park Wales. I LOVE IT and just wish I lived closer. Being at the bottom end skills wise, I’ve really appreciated having the green loop and pump track at the bottom to get my eye in again before going up. My favourite run is Sixtapod followed by Willy Waver because I’ve done it the most, and by the end of the day, I’ve built up confidence to go fast enough to stay ahead of my boyfriend!! Having said that, I love the sweeping berms and rode Terry's Belly for the first time last week... loved it. Wish I’d need less tired so I could have ridden it again!!
What could be improved?
I’m the bad point and my skill level is the only thing holding me back!! I’d love to be able to book further in advance as everything is always booked up when I try to get in... but that’s just because it’s so popular. They were running 9 buses on Saturday, and the trails were still not overcrowded in my opinion, so maybe release more day lift passes in advance and run 9 buses as the norm? Please...??!! I want to be able to go more!!!
What a day out!! Easy place to find , so easy and to check in and get out on trails. We paid for the uplift pass and was the best way to go, whilst you could ride to the top every time, why bother, as the quicker you get to the top the quicker you can start having fun. The blue runs are awesome and probably all most would need, I had a few goes on the reds and they were incredible, didn’t go on blacks as that’s way above my skill set. Plenty of mini buses to get you up top, plenty of banter with the other riders, and all the drivers were great, a good laugh, very helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. It was a rainy day when we went but everything was open trail wise, it just made it a great wet/muddy day out. Will definitely be back again and will be bringing more of my mates next time. 10/10 for bikepark Wales. ??????

What could be improved?
Not enought blues for learmers should have blue + runs to learn to progress onto reds also my 13yr old love the blue runs but not enough for reds drop offs etc
This place gave everything. Great variety of trails for all classes of rider, friendly and helpful staff, great facilities leading to brilliant days out.
I have now been three times now and the experience well exceeds the 3 hours travelling time.
Can’t complain about anything here, had four full days riding here so far this year and it just gets better every visit. Makes anywhere else you ride simply boring.
What could be improved?
Makes every other bike destination in the uk pale into comparison.
Have had 3 visitors so far over last 18 months. Once with more experienced riders than myself so had to up my game a bit to keep up but learnt more in one day than riding for months on my own. Have also been lucky enough to spend 2 days up there with my 13 yr old son. Have seen him grow in confidence and struggled to keep up with him on last visit. Haven't got the skill or testies to ride anything above the reds but the blue & red trails are enough to keep you entertained for a full day. Lovely food and cracking facilities.

Plenty of trails to build up your confidence.
Uplift drivers are a special breed. Helpful, professional and make everyone feel welcome
