    Uplift is fantastic fun all the guys are friendly just let the Downhillers buzz off at the start and you can follow up behind if you are riding a trail bike.
    You certainly don’t need a downhill bike to ride it you can roll virtually all of it.
    I posted this vid on another thread as you can see this guys on a trail bike and doing just fine.
    You will love it. If it super wet fit the right tyres.
