The Tirpentwys MTB trails are unofficial wild trails and feature steep swooping berms, jumps, drop-offs, and a session area to hone your skills.

Bob More Gnarly - Black

  • Bob More Gnarly has a natural feel for a downhill run and features lots of roots and off-camber sections. This trail has drop-offs up to 5ft in height and steep natural sections.

Do-Able - Black+

  • Do-Able is a natural, very rooty, steep-tech trail with natural features and technical drops.

Dasher - Black

  • Dasher is a natural steep-tech downhill run with lots of roots, tight turns, and plenty of slop.

Gnarlyness- Black

  • Gnarlyness is gnarly and features a large drop at the start of the trail (as a qualifier). It features steep swooping berms, tight wooded sections step on/offs, and gap jumps.

Bob Gnarly -Red/Black

  • Bob Gnarly features big berms with senders into steep chutes. The trail progresses into a series of tabletops and jumps through the woods.

Grannies Fanny - Red

  • Grannies Fanny is a good introduction to the trails. The trail is all rollable and features large steep swooping berms, chutes, and jumps towards the bottom of the trail.

Other Stuff

  • The trails are maintained by a crew of dedicated trail builders determined to continue the work and legacy of fellow builder and founder Ryan Bullimore #RideforRyan

Tirpentwys trails

Over the past year I have learned and developed a lot more skill than I ever thaught I would tirpentwys trails is an amazing place to practice jumps tech or flow the park has step ups, step downs,mad jump lines,tech trails, & flow trails and there amazing for practicing skill and confidence

What do you like?

Amazing place to grow skill and confidence all the trail crew are very helpful and are always busy keeping the trails in mint condition ready for people to come and shred the trails and the best part is it's all free!

What could be improved?

The facility's aren't the best as the park hasnt had any money spent on it as it is all built by riders that ride at the park regularly and although it is a pain not having any type of toilets we can make it workΒ 

Would you recommend?

yes
