Has anyone done an DH at Swansea? Reading the descriptions it says "Black diamond, expert, body armour required, blah blah" but I find that isn't always the most accurate, and you could get scared off of good rides by the descriptions. Is it doable on more of an AM bike? Or are you stupid to try it without a DH bike? Are there ways around the stunts, or do you have to take some pretty big drops/hits to even bother? I'd like to try as I'll be staying really close to this, but I don't want to die.
I was also looking at the Lillian Lake trails. Is the "blue" trail going to be alright for a beginner on a hard tail? Or should I send them to the "green" inner loop while I go check that out? Is it decent?
Anything else in the area? I prefer XC to DH, but I'll give anything a try if it's fun.
