Are there any riders here from Exeter or Tiverton area that are into downhill and jumping? (Some xc too!)Let me know

I'm about 1/2 hour from Tiverton.
There was some DH featured in MBUK with Lewis king and Elbry sandland somewhere near Tiverton, If you find it let me know.
There's a BMX track and some trails in Tiverton, DH in the quantocks and Exmoor, Trails at Norton Fitzwarren(just been re-done, apparently). Exeter also has a BMX track.

I live in Tiverton. I didn't see that copy of MBUK, but apparently it was all local (they even went to the Tube!). I know the bmx track well. I've been going Cove quarry for a few years, there's also lots of downhill tracks in the woods, ain't checked these out for a while but will be on saturday. They're good fun, they might be the one's in MBUK because a lot of them were first built by Darren Tapp (ex Yeti). Where do you live?

I live in exeter, and the only decent trails I know of within a couple of miles are Haldon and Woodbury, and maybe Dartmoor. There aren't any really good long downhills though.

I havn't been to Exeter bmx track in a year, will go this weekend maybe. There is also Decoy in Newton Abbot.

Chard, but I'm often in Taunton, best trails close to me are at Yeovil. not for the faint hearted.

The DH I saw in MBUK, had a road crossing type drops if I remember correctly.

Yeah that has gotta be cove then! I've never done the main road jump, it's well scary, as soon as you land (if you make it) you've gotta avoid a tree and lean the bike right over to the left to rail a bump, if you can't do this you'll fly over the berm and down the hill! I'm going tomorrow, taking the camcorder cos we're putting a vid together. Also going into the quarry to find some drop-offs, then maybe finally a trip to wheddon cross

hi guys, any of you still ride cove??

looks good where's that to?

not far from tiverton, see www.northshorefreeriders.com for photos and updates on the track.

Cool was up at haldon for the first time in ages last night and they've tidied up the old rat run nicely

i have not chacked that out, i did the jumps the other day, the new tables? they need a bit of shape work really..

Not sure they even work with the northshore drop blocking the drop into them.

ye, you have to brake in to the first as its way short..

Heard theres more building work going on over the next months...have to see how it goes.

keep us posted, more work up cove coming soon.

close to tivy. see www.northshorefreeriders.com, most of the exeter,cove and woodbury guys are on the site.

cheers was down haldon last night really liking the new rat run replacement. but the DH section is seriously speedbumped there's alternate lines springing up everywhere

sure gets rutted, shame they have not built a few more runs like that in the space they have.
