Who are we?
Wentwood downhill was started by a number of Wentwood's local riders. We aim to keep the track running smoothly with regular maintenance and also add new obstacles to keep the track challenging whilst also being a great destination for novice riders.
We would like to thank Jason (Dragon Downhill) for allowing us to maintain the track. And also to the woodland trust and forestry commission for working with us to maintain Wentwood as a MTB destination.
Bottom Section Rebuild!
We have re - built the bottom section which previously had turned into a long rut due to drainage and MX issues. The New bottom section starts in the same place but forks off around the first corner. It is easy to see but Please Look before you ride.
Important Track Changes!!
To comply with the changes suggested by the Woodland trust at our last meeting there have been some changes to the current track. These Start from the straight before the first compression until where the first road gap use to be. For full information on the track changes and also pictures of the new section click here
