Welsh 4X Championship 2010

This is the eagerly awaited opening race on this brand new track at Afan Bike Park situated in the heart of the Afan Forest Park in South Wales. The track was designed by World Championship track designer Phil Saxena and is akin to the tracks used in World Cup competitions. The track is just over 500metres long and includes rocks, jumps, a cork screw bridge corner like the one used in the World Cup courses at Belgium and Canada along with the longest 4x rock garden ever built in the world!
