The Bull Track, Crowborough Sussex - Freeride and Downhill
2009 Season, New stuff built since spring
If you're plannning a weekday visit, phone Lee the gate keeper on 07971351805
Lee and the boys have been busy adding new stuff and bridging some of the larger gaps that newer riders found a little to wide. Summer's going by fast so get down there and ride while the weather's good(ish).
Built in a secluded spot but not far from civilisation it's one of the best Downhill and Freeride locations in the area. Built by a local riders with years of experience, the Bull Track caters for all ranges of skills and abilities. New North Shore and other modifications are being developed on a regular basis. As a visitor you can expect an easy going attitude as long as you're respectful and are there to ride and have a good time.
Currently the Bull Track features 4 sections of North Shore, the most immediate leads into a series of 4 medium to small doubles. Additionally there's the new 'Hippy Trail' started at the end of the 2008 season. This is a more easy going line with no gap jumps. From there there are a range of larger doubles to choose from and a drop of about 12-15 feet. There's also a short downhill run that finishes up next to the jump track. Don't forget to bring a helmet and any other body and limb saving accessories you own, there's some proper big stuff available if you're up to it.
Drawbacks are that long damp spells make things difficult in terms of slipperly shore and the ground going soggy. Opening times are also limited so plan in advance.
