At the beginning of this year, me and my friend Lewis had been riding loads at the time and were getting rather bored of the spots in Cornwall that we’d been hitting. We’d been riding at the track, in Portreath, and had been talking to the local riders there about other spots to ride.

They had spoke of some trails in Exmouth and from what we heard they sounded pretty cool. The next free day that we had off we threw the bikes and the gear into the back of Lew’s car and went on a mission to find these trails. The directions that our friends from the track gave us were very vague so we relied on asking locals for directions when we got there.

It took us just over an hour to get in to Exmouth and we luckily managed to stop to ask for directions outside the bike shop. After asking in there we found the trails fairly easily.

We parked up in a small car park ext to the woods and set off with our bikes into the forest that were, hopefully, home to these trails we were after. After about 20 minutes of wrong turning and footpath tracking we found the trails, and were so worth coming to. The whole set up was built in a deep quarry with small tables, dirt quarters and the nicest 6 pack you’ve ever seen.

After warming up on the tables and busting some tailwhips out of the dirt quarters we kicked the dead fallen leaves of the trails and scoped out the big jumps. We were so glad to have found these trails as they were one of the nicest sets I’d ever ridden. Also you don’t have to pay to ride and are really private.

The last jump in the set was so nice to bust out backflips and flip variations. I pulled of some of the smoothest flips I’ve done and the nicest over clicked x-up flip. We plan to go down there again to film for a DVD my friend is making. Thanks for reading.
