Mmmm flowing natural berms and jumps. No woodwork or aggregate and looks fairly flat.

Nice bit of filming. I reckon that'smore downhill than it looks judging by the speed & lack of pedaling. They seem to have created the first circular loop which is all downhill. :mrgreen:

i'd LOVE a downhill circular loop! go faster on each lap!

the racers could do it backwards and have an uphill training loop!

To resurrect a very old thread, I would say that looks ideal.

Yes I do have too much time on my hands, looking through old forum material, hence get me out in the forest with a shovel while I am still available and we can achieve exactly this sort of thing!

In my opinion, Tunny exactly as is, with a few more larger berms and pump style sections that go with the natural feel of the forest, rather than against it (too manicured/man-made) = perfection!

If we could get a few little jump/high speed rollover pump/jump sections, that would be absolutely sexual.

We don't have much gradient to play with in Suffolk (good, less climbs for the lazy like myself) - but imagine if the few gradients we did have, flowed immacualtely into a large berm, followed by a pump-style section, just to give you a bit of free momentum, a rest from pedalling, and hell who needs an excuse, it would just be fun!

Honestly, this is not that far off Tunny...
