ATTEMPTING THE BIG A470 JUMPS AT BIKEPARK WALES!

I have always managed to ride the top line of jumps on the A470 line at BikePark Wales however the bottom ones have always been too big and I haven't been confident enough to go quick enough to clear them. However, I went to BikePark Wales not too long ago and managed to get further down the line than I ever have before and almost cleared the bottom ones so I thought it was about time I dug deep and gave them a go!

The conditions were tough, the jumps were running slow and BikePark Wales had just been hit by a really bad storm so I had to give it everything I got to try and get through them.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Amazing Vid. Relatable riding and epic effort for the last couple of years :) You should feel very proud! Those jumps terrify me….. Legend 🎉

Gallant effort! I’ve ever gotten those last biggys! Once one cases the first it has a knock on effect for the last few. By the way, these jumps are gargantuan towards the end if no one has ever been! On board camera never really picks up how blinkin fast you are pacing to get those last ones! Like you Kara, I’ll have em by the end of the year…if my hardtail and 55yo knees will allow!
Thanks again Kara (and Tom) for what I call real world riding. Most of us are not pros, some of us are not young, But we ALL do this for fun and soul food! Kara and her progress are leading real life people into their own goals….and we thank you for it…and as someone who has met them a few times…they are both utter sweethearts

Great effort 👌
Those last few I have only cleared well in the dry, did it in the damp and had to pedal so hard 😅

Well done Kara I was out yesterday trying to hit some jumps 48 and giving it my best 😂

Great you came back to do those jumps again, such a shame the ground is soft which doesn't help and Tom also said its soft, so when the ground has dried out I'm sure your flaw it Karen 😊👏👏

She’s deleting comments that have anything to do with improving technique rather than relying on speed. Shame because I think it’s part of the journey she’s on & should be open to constructive criticism. There was certainly nothing nasty said at all, quite the opposite

[junka]

I think you did a great job there Kara and you kept yourself safe to come back and conquer those jumps in the dry. Nice one 😎 👍. Even Tom was saying it was soft in that area and if he's saying that, you're probably doing way better than you think.

She’s actually pretty good this person just put very old vids.

Hi Can i ask, the first jump the qualifier does it just send you over with the right speed ? .Im going to bpw next weekend and want to tick some of a470 off . The gap at the start seems to be the only gap on it but gaps make me nervous.

Well done Kara. Amazing to see the levelling up.

Can you recommend any bike parks (possible midlands, but happy to travel) that are good for starting to learn jumps at?

[bikemad]

Not best conditions but yu still tried well done! Next try will be better

If its not the wind it’s the track & now it to wet oh god 😂😂
