Little video of the downhill track at Moel y Ci (Mynydd Llandygai) from almost at the top to the bottom, + obligatory dribble  Enjoy. |

Nice run mate! I've yet to grow the balls to take on that double near the bottom... Do you run the drop at the top? (the one just above where the vid starts) I've yet to do that either.

Cheers, the step down at the bottom is dead easy, just pedal loads coming into it and ride off it flat, the landing is really nice! It looks loads scarier than it actually is. I've only hit that drop at the top once, and there's a video of me eating dirt whilst doing so  I need to man up and hit it again, it's just a pain because it's so slow coming in and the landing is so flat. |

Matt, are you running my old DaBomb? I heard from Oggy it's been done up really nicely and looks smart, be good to hook up for a ride next time i'm up in Bangor.

Hi Rob, yeah I'm on the DaBomb Got air shocks front and back so it's a fair bit lighter now, took her down snowdon couple of weeks ago going strong! Give me a shout when you're around mate I'm definitely up for a ride. Also ilovedirt, would be good to do some riding up at MyC with you when you're around, I'm building up a second bike (DH) at the mo' so I'm keen to see the difference from 5" travel to 8" hehe! |

Got a 2009 Diamondback XTS Moto frame and some 2007 Fox 40s at the mo', and some wheels and a headset... that's it so far though so a while to go yet!
I can only ride weekends for now at least until we get some light beyond working hours! Enjoy!

Glad to hear you're enjoying the Dabomb dude! You don't really need a DH bike alongside that, it'll cope with the DH up there fine  |

Stumbled upon this track last night. Had a go at it and crapped myself the whole way down.....but so much fun!
You must have cowbells between your legs if you did all the drops!
This was my first taste of downhill... if you had to rank its difficulty compared to to others in the area how is it?
