Sandwell Valley Miners Trail

kammybear

This is my local trail and the only one in Birmingham unless anyone knows of another decent trail? Tested out my SJ1000 chinese action camera...not bad for £50? The raw footage is a lot nicer, shame youtube likes to fuck it all up.

I'm a n00b so be gentle for the comments

I've cut out the boring blue climbs....

I might invest in a gopro for the summer!

Welcome to bikeradar and mtb riding in general.

Firstly, bike looks nice. Secondly, for £50 the footage from that camera is pretty good. In terms of trails, beggars can't be choosers they say so make the most if what you got. To be honest they look like they'll give you a great way to hone your skills. The trail grading seems dodgy though? If you're in the midlands, places like Cannock and the Forest of Dean are only an hour or two away.

Enjoy.

Stand up on downhill

The "Downhill" sections here aren't demanding enough for that but yeah, I need to stand up more!

This is just down the road from school for me (OSH), and although i haven't yet checked it out yet i think i might head down after school one weekend!

happy sandwell council agreed into making this, its an okay-ish track the down hill is not steep enough and the ramps are to steep aswell. i advise you go to cannock, seems like it attracts everyone around the country hopefully i can go soon, just havnt had the chance
