Is the Risca Bike Park worth risking?

In this video, I and a bunch of our FaceBook group buddies (#FSRMTB) attempt to "riscassess" the trails of the Risca Bike Park near Cwmcarn forest. #mtb #downhill #mountains #wales The Risca Bike Park is only a few miles south of the Cwmcarn visitor centre and the legendary Twrch, Cafall and Pedalhounds trails. They add next-level steepness and tech to the Cwmcarn trails and are true Red tech / Black trails, so you'll need your wits about you and your energy levels at max capacity! DONATE: https://gofund.me/dd1004cb The trails are very well looked after and vigilantly maintained by the local group known as The Risca Riders but they really need all the help they can get to ensure these incredible trails continue to be available for us all to enjoy, so check them out and give back via a donation of whatever you can afford + support them giving them a follow here: @theriscariders: https://www.instagram.com/theriscarid...
