is it me but bar the jumps and drops isnt that trail totally smooth?

Dirtrider

yes, I could do all of those on a hardtail, and I imagine any decent freerider/dh rider could do it. Infact, there wasn't much on that vid that would trouble any half decent mountain biker.

However, it looked like a very nice trail, does anyone know where it is?

This sort of trail is perfect for HT's. It would be wasted on a FS I recon.

Wouldn't mind blasting my Blender round there though, looks good fun!

Now that's some nice HT riding.

Think I saw a slightly longer version of this video a couple of months back, IIRC it's eastern europe somewhere.

Edit, may be another video I'm thinking of, possibly...
Actually no, definitely seen that before, fairly sure it's Poland.

Hmmm only bit I think I would struggle with is the manual across the boardwalk the rest I reckon you could do.

Its actually easier to jump on a H/T than a F/S and they can take just as much abuse if built with the right spec.

Both real nice vids
