In this week's MBUK video, presenter Will heads to sunny South Wales to check out a bike park with a difference – it’s free to ride, open every day and offers a great way into mountain biking on a budget.
Funded by the local council (Rhondda Cynon Taff), Dare Valley Gravity Bike Park has its own uplift service and regular coaching sessions. This place is all about helping young people and beginners to progress, giving them an easy way into mountain biking.
We head to an Easter holiday session at Dare Valley to meet the riders making the place a success and ride with the youngsters who are hoping to be the mountain bike champs of the future...
A special thanks to Greg Beynon Video Productions, who contributed the excellent drone footage to help make this video possible.
