A bike park near Machynlleth has unveiled a new look with several improvements carried out by its dig crew over the summer.

The Dyfi Bike Park track has undergone several improvements, as well as a new website that managers of the course hope will make it easier to access information about the track and streamline the booking process.

The track is owned and managed by Machynlleth bike manufacturer Dan Atherton, who is ready to welcome riders back to the park after work was carried out by their dig crew over the summer.

Dan said: “The Dyfi dig crew not only have a phenomenal work ethic. They bring a freshness and creativity to all of our builds and they ride even harder than they dig.

“The vision of the dig crew, led by Alf Raynor, means that these new features areas much a reflection of the crew’s personalities and experience as of mine, all of the guys are so inspired to ride what they build at the weekends.

“With the new upgrades in place it feels like there is something for everyone, from the revamp of insta360 Flowstate, to new Notorious Step-up and Dirty Dishes.

“The new insta360 wallride was heavily inspired by BMX. Everyone loves a curved wallride and we wanted to bring a little bit of that skatepark style to the Flowstate track.

“We’re already seeing some spectacular footage of this feature, truthfully it looks harder than it is, off the 360 drop in the woods, hold your speed through the corners and you’re in, so long as you have the speed you can ride it like a berm.”

“We’ve had a really strong crew this summer and the tracks are in the best state they’ve ever been. All the berms have been upgraded and the opening of Dirty Dishes has proved a great way to ease into our jump lines, the progression has been unreal, it’s been awesome to see less experienced riders lapping up these smaller jumps.”

“There are more exciting changes due to be unveiled in the next couple of weeks, such as a full revamp of Original DH which will feature a machine-built flow section(the brain-child of Simmo Palmer)and a new link to the lower mountain from Muddy’s berms which expands this popular run.”
