Hi All,
I've just booked myself an uplift at BPW for 29 August. Will be my first time at a bike park so if anyone is planning on being there would be good to catch up and get a few tips.
Btw, before anyone makes the suggestion - the full face helmet and body armour are also booked!
Cheers

Tips.
Take a waterproof and another top maybe, weather last time was bonkers, went from warm to hail and back again and the very top where all the runs start is the most desolate windsweep place ive ever seen.
Get the hang of berms if you havnt already, hitting them at speed is required, they are nice n smooth..unlike the Alps for example where there are braking bumps galore.
As with any DH long run trails, make sure your brakes are top notch, adjusted for reach and are working fine, etc. Also good idea to have play with suspension, the Red runs in particular were quite rocky so its nice to be able to soak up the bumps.
