nope and never heard of em, now googling.


They have lots of various lines and some good jumps and doubles to learn on! It's closed as they are doing maintenance at the minute but when your more confident there are some good things to build up on!

They are out Suffolk way!

Nothing to see here, please disperse :wink:



The Hip line is a great run and rollable (except for a small drop which you can go round from memory) this is were I started to learn / get a taste of this kind of stuff and used to travel an hour just to do that line. Its fantastic for gettting confidence. Also most people leave it alone as they are on the bigger stuff at the back. If you like Danbury you will love Woburn.

Oh cheers for that, a couple more weeks of practice and i'll wonder over

There are a few lines where you are not hitting gaps..

The Hip as mentioned
There is the berms line which can run into the large path gap but also runs down past Jedis old training jump
There is a sweeping bermy one which starts up near the hip line which cuts down onto the transferline,
The transfer line which is run the most out of everything there
Mulch and roost are a loam fest but there are no big hucks unless you follow them round to the DJ's.
There is a line out the back next to skyline with 2 table tops on it next to Tom Bollokoffs run
Also there are some friendly DJs out the back as well

There has been a lot built if you haven’t visited for a few months.

Overall Woburn is offers a lot of progression opportunities if you take the time to look around and pick the lines that suit. Its less friendly than Danbury so if you feel comfortable doping the runs there, it’s a good place to check out. It can be intimidating at first sight but there is lots there for all abilities.

Is that all over the back Karve? Ive only ever played on the DJ's and the freeride section at the top of the DJ's.

Im sure uve found most of it already matt.. its not a big area

As you come in the dirt jumps are to your right.. there are runs such as the hip line which come down on your left.. in front of you there are lines coming down such as transfer and M7 - then you walk up to the start of transfer and m7 you have the back bowl with skyline and such like. You can also get to the back bowl by going further up the hill from where the drop into the DJs are.
