Stile Cop DH Tracks

oxocube1

I'll be going over to Cannock Chase tomorrow to ride FTD and The Monkey but am also looking at dropping in at Stile Cop on the way back. My question is do you need/require a Full Face helmet to ride the DH tracks there? Any videos I have seen people are always wearing full face but I've yet to purchase one and just ride a standard lid.

For anyone who has ridden them, how would you compare the DH at Forest of Dean and Cwmcarn to Stile Cop? As I have ridden both without a full face and been able to handle the technicality of them.

Thanks in advance!

No you don't need a FF to ride them if you don't want to, nobody is going to stop you riding.

Depends on which tracks you ride there as to how technical they are, start on the red, ridge run, little bringe and the black and see how they go, then maybe try something more technical.

as above, you can just avoid the gnarlier tracks but I wouldn't say anything there is too difficult

Awesome, cheers for the info guys.

The tracks are good fun, just be careful at first as some of them have some jumps and drops so there worth checking out before hitting the runs flat out.
