You’ve seen just how crazy Dan Atherton’s trails can be at the Hardline or the Revolution Quarry Line but here he shows he can build mellower, flowy trails too.

Deep in the heart of DyFi Forest he’s crafted these two lines full of tables, drops and huge berms. OK, so there’s still some pretty ballsy gaps but compared to his other creations they are walks in the park.

Apparently there’s the same elevation here as at Hardline (500 or so metres) but a shallower gradient, making for a mountain of good times. There’s no better man to test the trails than their creator and he does so with so much style in this edit.

At the moment it seems like the trails have been reserved for Atherton insiders but we’d love to pop up and have a go at some point.

Dan said “ The tracks that you see in this edit have been a ridiculous amount of work, but you only get out what you’ve put in. This project will never really be finished, there are two tracks featured in the edit but they are definitely a work in progress; we’ve been working on these trails for a year and stuff’s already great fun to ride but there’s loads more I want to do.”
