Hi all,

Does anyone know a DH track that is not all stones and roots and can be enjoyed on a hard tail?

I am looking for some easy fast tracks to ride with a P2.
I am used to downhill, just dont have a DH bike with me in London.

Gracias!

Surface to air at aston hill is perfect for a hardtail.

Also track at PORC have some pretty big stuff in them, but all rideable on a hardtail.

Woburn can be ridden on a hardtail, with a few short tracks probably better on a hardtail than a dh bike, and chicksands is similar.

Danbury is the easiest then Chicksands
Surface to air is ok but likely to be bumpy

Danbury may be the easiest but remember it can still catch you out. I saw two broken collar bones on Sunday.

ahahah that's how you promote a trail! :lol:

But to be fair the only two broken bones i ever had I got them BMXing in front of my house, no need of a dangerous trail

To be fair Danbury is not that bad. accident one was probably over eagerness and lack of trail knowledge. Accident two was due to a highseatpost,lack of skills and an unwillingness to do it in the first place.
