Summary:
fast and short but bumpy as hell

Review:
i thought it was really good but the braking zones are really bumy and also there is a really small drop but it has a really dodgy hump after it which you have to dodge but today i did crash off it and dislocate my shoulder . i was going super fast so i was bound to crash tho.

fast paced and lots to do

Review:
went here with my bmx to test it as i have not rode for many years and have recently fixed it up. it is very time consuming and defnitly recommended for both begginers and more advanced bikers.

good but not the best

Review:
i dont think that the powerline trail really lives up to being a red. some sections are slightly technical but not too much of a challenge, and there should be more black sections

Summary:
ok but no where near "freeride" and not worthy of black/red grade

Review:
hi went to chopwell expecting a good little trail with a few hard bit in it!!!! (the black part) but was very disapointed. really should be graded blue with the northshore graded red. have a look on the blue run at glentress the jumps are bigger there and graded blue.
but the hiden tracks in the woods are top class with some nice kickers/drops and loads of tech bits to challenge yourself unlike the "powerline" these little trails get 10/10 of me but the power line is only 5/10
the push back up the car park is a bit of a slog, but hey you cant have it both ways, unless you have a chairlift.
