cheers jaw... we were going to head back up there this weekend to do a bit of filming and try and get on the transition blog (again!)... swinley is good, despite what people say, there are lots of trails for you to session and lots of variation for all the family to enjoy! It's worth checking out, but you'll need to go with people who know where the trails are otherwise you might miss the good ones!

Would like to go to Swinley at some point (be sure to link to the vid!)

Is it the spot with the jumps in the gully?

yeh, the gully is just one bit and it usually gets crowded with little kids and big kids just sessioning it. it's got a couple of little booters, a big booter and a double you can do all sorts. there are a couple of newish drop ins too.

methinks the video will take a little while to produce - the other half is turning it into an epic ;o)

ah swinley isn't all that amazing tbh, theres a couple of fun dh trails and the gully is alright, but not worth the trip imo lol.

overrated i think, but it is quite fun. better off bull tracking or porc =)

Different strokes for different folks I suppose! You get a different type of ride anywhere you go. Always good to mix things up I think Smile

yeah i guess, i think it wasn't all that good for me cos my bike is so freakin big lol, dobby had a much easier ride on his marin. too tight for a 40+ pound bike. they were quite fun trails though =)
