Review:
I have been here lots of times and have now managed to ride the whole lot without getting off! This loop has loads of really technical sections which will test anybody and I must congratulate the guys who put this together as some of the boulders must have taken some serious shifting!! I have not seen anything as well put together in this format anywhere yet. As said above it is easy to miss out any bits you are not confident enough for. But you will be superpumped when you get better and can eventually clear it all. This route is much better when not really wet as you get better grip on the rocks. The route is not hugely long, takes about 10 mins but you can keep going round and try different things. Also there are the Norwood and 'Downhill' trails over the road too. Must e tried!!!

best trail ever ridden

Review:
just come back from stainburn and my heart is still in my throat. the trail is fast flowing and really fun. the big boulder makes the trail great with its highly technical descent down and the following 3 foot drop is amazing. note: i wouldnt try dropping the giant boulder, only if your better than cris akkrig

Review:
this makes a day biking at stainburn complete. i normaly start from Norwood Edge, then make my way down to the bottom, cross the road into the Warren Boulder Trail carpark and complete a run of the black route. afterwards i do several runs of the new Descent Line.
the only part you have to watch out for really on the Descent Line is a huge drop off(it's bigger than me) made from a boulder. this can be ridden down (although near vertical,) or there is a chicken run to the side. if you are trying to commit suicide and attempt this then please recored it.
