Heard a lot about Black Mountains Cycle Centre - so we had to go check the bike park out and see if it lived up to the hype. Short answer... YES... BUT... is it a suitable place to visit IF you're a beginner to bike parks, or even riding in general?
Sure... the place can be described as a 'downhill pump track' with huge 45 foot jumps thrown in for good measure.... but it also has a TON of other more-friendly trails.
Check out our video of what we thought of our first time riding at Black Mountains Cycle Centre, as well as the trails we'd recommend riding if it's your first time visiting.

God that last run got me so hyped, can't imagine how stoked i'd be to have a run like that
Really, really fun set of jumps!
That was a great vid! And what a way to end it! Awesome👍
Nice trail, great riding from both of you, that last run was amazing. ☮️☯️
That was a great insight to the place so thank you. I’m off there 22nd October with a couple of mates and excited because it’s my first official jump bike park 👍🏻
Enjoyed this! For some reason I thought it was just full of the ‘big stuff’ Great video 👍
Another great one! Together with Degla recently, you’re smashing it for those of us trying to progress. You make me want to go. Other creators make a lot of us feel it’s a bit of ‘risk’ driving halfway across the country: what if it’s too hard ? Most don’t want to waste a W/E getting too anxious…. This content reminds us that park builders are inclusive and make lines for everyone to progress on as they push their comfort zone forward 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Stoked you're enjoying the videos! That's why we wanted to start creating 'uncut' videos like these - to show people what these places are like
Brilliant episode. Thanks so much! BTW These videos are getting way too scary for me (but I'm already looking forward to the next one) . . .
You and me both! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Jees really enjoying these videos would love to go somewhere else than Scotland Glentress and places along those lines and would really like to meet you someday. Keep up the good work
Great vid, the best review of black mountain, perfect for anyone who hasn't been to watch before they go. Great too about belly breathing I'm gonna give that a try 👍👍. That last run is what it's all about 💪💪
Glad you found it useful Nigel 🤟🤟
Cosmic conscious breath 🙏💖☮️
Fun vid as always Amanda and Alex 👌🏻💕
Glad you enjoyed!
I know John Gilbert, he is such a loose rider to...so fair play for keeping up with him on that last run! it looked like so much fun man! sick video! keep up the hard work guys & stay safe!
Yes it was!
Absolutely love this bike park. Defo underrated and in my opinion actually better then BPW
Top vid guys!!!👌🏻👊🏻
Thanks Steve, appreciate your comment :)
Sick riding you sent the Moto line!
Nice, you’ll have to check out Coast Gravity off the Sunshine Coast in BC Canada. It’s got some big kickers & reminds me of this place.
I went there a few years ago, absolutely love the place - can't wait to go back
Nice video. Good to see someone slowing it down and taking a look around. Making my 1st trip to BMCC in April, looking forward to it. Which track is that at 12:26 please? Cheers.
Have fun! The trail is called Berm Baby Berm
So lucky to hav beautifull trails like that.
Was a really cool place - highly recommend
The wooden bridge is my favourite part 😁
Yooo I love that belly breathing advice! Gonna remember that when I'm good enough to ride features that scare me ;)
That place looks lush and seems reasonably close! Brilliant footage, thanks for taking us on a ride there with you! And if you guys happen to pass by Bristol ping me a message, it would be great to meet for a ride!!
Stoked you enjoyed it 🤟 definitely will connect if we are in the Bristol area 🙏
Wow, best mtb vid that I've seen so far
Yep, definitely need one of these in the borders!
How cool would it be?!
nice vid guys. must go there soon
Well worth it!!
Awesome trail man
Glad you enjoyed it - well worth checking out if you get the chance
Amazing lines🤩 do you have to pay for the up lift ?
Yeah!
Amazing
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Even the blue seems technically challenging
You guy's know what That jump line is so sick..
One of the best in the UK I'd say
Time stamp?
how many break pads u destroy on one lap????
You guys really don't know how skilled you are because you dont have enough history/age to compare things with . i rode beach cruisers off road in the late fifties and we thought bombing down a fire trail in marin county was the ultimate in bike riding . We never ever thought the riding we see today was even possible . fortunetly i'm waaaay to old to even consider fast downhills . 😂
Now called 'Dirt Farm Wales' if your looking for it online
Amanda could defo clear most of them tables..can see her confidence coming back…me on the other hand can’t jump for shit 😢
Keep at it! Repetition, repetition, repetition!
Whats the Name of the mudguards?? Where to buy??
Mudhugger www.themudhugger.co.uk I use the shorty
It looks like the little red flags mean a jump with gap. Isn't it? We're planning to go there to try the blues and reds with no gaps
Correct!
Is this where last week's Matt Jones video was?
aye, looks like it mate.
Correct
this is for bmx easy :DDDD
and all of them ride full bike :DDDD omg.... burn breaks :DDD
