Can anyone recommend a great place to learn/practice jumps in South Wales, not big table tops like cwmcarn freeride but something smaller or rather somewhere which has all sizes including jumps for beginners, for people who ride OK but just can’t jump so well.


Cheers.

    Cwm Carn are small tabletops to be honest :s there what alot of people learn on :s

    There are some also up at Forret of dean, but most places thats standard. Since there table tops there is very little go wrong like a double :)

    If it's just jumping you're after, there's a place called Redhill Extreme 20 minutes drive from the Forest of Dean cycle centre. It ranges from beginner lines (3ft long tiny tables) to massive step-ups and doubles. I learnt most of my jumping skills there...

    I know not where I am going, my future will decide. But it's not the destination, it's the glory of the ride.

    @Thewaylander SMALL? I need tiny then, I am self employed and I really really really cannot afford an injury, I really really need baby steps on this one.

    @alitodd Seems perfect, just what I was looking for tbh

    @welshkev cheers but http://redhillextreme.co.uk/ seems to be the solution I was after, plus they have more to offer, lacation is never an issue for the right venue..........have car will travel etc. ;)

    Thanks for replying though guys, I appreciate it.

    Where in Caerphilly are you jumping to? Being a native of the 'philly I go back there every now and again.

    I'm glad I could help. The guys up there are friendly too - I might even see you around. :)
