Bike Park Wales Opens New Black DH Tech Trail
BikePark Wales Unveils the Electrifying New Bottom Half of Boomslang
We are thrilled to announce the opening of the highly anticipated bottom half of Boomslang, an extension of our natural tech black downhill trail that promises an unparalleled riding experience for any rider who loves a mix of terrain, big features and the challenge of multiple line choice!
Boomslang is unlike any other trail in the park. With its natural terrain, riders can expect a dynamic track that evolves with every run. The ever-changing nature of the trail—thanks to ruts, weather, and tyres - means no two runs will ever feel the same. From technical drops and root gaps to high-speed sections and creative line options, Boomslang is designed to provide a technical challenge for all riders.

If you remember how the top section of this trail evolved, this lower half will follow a similar journey. What starts off as deep loam will turn to a raw mudder through this winter. Then as people ride it, new lines will open up and get rutted in and more rock will appear. Prepare for a different feel every time you ride it.
Boomslang can be found by traversing across towards the start of Pandoras Rocks, Fifty Shades and Terry’s Belly. The new start hill for Boomslang, giving you better speed for the flowier top section, is on the left as you pedal across. It heads down the steepest part of our hillside through thick woods, open off camber sections with built up gaps and big box features.
Trail Highlights
- Type: Natural Tech Black Downhill
- Features: Drops, off camber loam, doubles, and flat-out speed sections
- Unique Appeal: Constantly evolving trail, raw and technical offering a fresh challenge every ride.
“We’re incredibly excited to launch the new bottom half of Boomslang. This trail is a game-changer - not just for us, but for riders who crave the thrill of natural, technical terrain. It's everything you love about your local track, but now with the incredible setting, infrastructure, and energy of BikePark Wales.”
The new bottom half of Boomslang officially opens on Monday 27th January. Get ready for your new favourite line at BikePark Wales!
