Stoked for Boomslang but Mother Nature's having a tantrum! Hold your helmets tightly, here's the scoop on the much-anticipated BPW trail
Take a gander at the shred-tastic new track BikePark Wales has up their sleeves! The second half of Boomslang is ready to blow your mind (or your tires), but a recent round of storms has paused the grand opening. Keep your fingers crossed for a ride later this week. The trail boasts a variety of terrain, from daunting features and root gaps to multiple line choices for you thrill-seekers.
Update: The trail was supposed to drop last week, but stormy forecasts for the weekend forced a postponement. It's scheduled to reopen this Thursday (30th) when BikePark Wales reopens, traditionally closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Are we looking at BPW's best black trail ever?
The SIDZ Trail Crew at BikePark Wales has been hard at work over the winter, extending the beloved Boomslang trail. They claim the extension is like no other, offering a dynamic track and ever-changing natural terrain. So grab your goggles and be prepared for a wild ride!

What's cookin' lower Boomslang?
Designated as a black level DH trail, it's filled with obstacles to keep your adrenaline pumping. Doubles, off-camber loam, drops, speed sections, and more await you. To find the start, follow the path towards Pandoras Rocks, Terry's Belly, and Fifty Shades. Boomslang's got a fresh start hill to help you pick up speed for the top section's flowy terrain.
Descending the steepest part of the hill, you'll blast through thick woods and hit off-camber sections, before tackling big gaps.
The BPW team had this to say about the launch: "The new bottom half of Boomslang is a game-changer, offering natural, technical terrain that'll challenge even the seasoned rider."
With red weather warnings in place until Monday 27th January, let's hope the trail remains unscathed when the park reopens! Keep an eye on this space for updates.
