Hemlock Stone MTB Trails Nottingham | Gnarly Crash Close Call + Some Epic Riding!

We hit the well known Hemlock Stone MTB trails in Nottingham recently and had an absolute blast! 🚵‍♂️ The weather was perfect, the dirt was running prime, and the trails were fast, flowy, and full of fun from start to finish. 🌞

But things got gnarly real quick… One lad (didn’t catch your name – drop a comment below if you see this 👇) sent it off a stupid steep drop and nearly impaled himself on a fallen tree! 😱 Luckily, he somehow walked away without a scratch — seriously one of the closest calls Ive seen recently that didnt involve myself and a tree.

This ride had just about everything: big laughs, big jumps, fast flow lines, and some sketchy moments that made it unforgettable. If you’re into UK mountain biking, enduro riding, or love raw MTB trail adventures, you’ll want to check this out.

Even though there are only 3 trails here really, there is certainly plenty to keep you enteretatined for a good session. Mixed ability groups are great here with everyone encouraging each other to get over the jumps and ride the trails faster and faster.

​⁠@dannymuffitt yet again with some well received advice on bike positioning going into a wide open berm which gave me the missing piece to clear the final jumps on the OG line. Thanks mate.

We’re just having a few little warm up bits and pieces just to get used to the ground, see what it’s like. There seems to be a little bit of moisture as you can see there, which just feels like it’s giving it absolutely loads of grip. The two Muffet boys have decided to uh guinea pig the step up. Yeah, it’s all right. Okay. It just got to lean forward. Oh, sloppy. Oh, it’s there. Get here. Right. I’m pulling people. Oh, I overshot that one then. Jesus. Didn’t overshoot that one.

Oh, how much better is that? Perfect that as well. Even the bottom hip. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, thanks, man. I love it when a plan comes together, don’t you? when it’s such a simple instruction. And every time I’ve come up to that BM, I can’t think of a BM like it that I’ve ever done. So, I’m like, yeah. I’m like, how do I go around this thing? Where do I go? Where do I aim? Let’s go then. Come on, Taylor. Heat. Heat. Taylor, why aren’t you doing the jumps, man? What did we bring you here for? If you’re not going to do the jumps, why don’t you just go do Burn Burner on your own for the afternoon? You’re an embarrassment to the Muffet name. You need to change that jersey when you get to back to the van. Yeah. No, there’s too many jumps at Sherwood B to be fair. Throw you in. Show you how it’s done. Yeah, please. Cuz I will. Best be quick. Quick. No, we’re not doing it fast. We’re doing it stylish. Oh, yeah. We’re doing it how we do it. Heat. Heat. I think I ced that bottom before. Same as before.

I’d like to have seen him. Where has he gone? I don’t know. But there is a cliff at the other side of you then. Right then. Let’s have a party, shall we? Ah, should we go down? Free ride. Oh, he tried. Oh, Jesus. Yeah, I’m too far over the front. Hey, that was the bad. No, we need to session it cuz that was horrible. It’s all right. Heat. Heat. Well, I was a bit close to that tree as per usual. Why can’t I have a day without going near a tree? Well, because you come and ride bikes in the woods, I suppose. It’s inevitable you’re going to go near trees. But anyway, must be about lunchtime, I reckon. All right, boy. Should we go get some lunch? I think so. Yeah, let’s do it. Yo. Jesus. [ __ ] you expect me to stop though, would you? You make that look so easy. It’s definitely not easy, but it’s [ __ ] good. One eternity later. Whoa. Skitty bit. See if there’s another jumps.

Yeah, might ride down the hill, won’t we? Don’t worry about No. [Music] Bloody ebikes. That’s better. We shot then. Nearly overcending that last jump now. Now I’ve got me confidence up.

What did it feel like to follow me down a trail where I don’t look like an idiot? Oh, god. Well, we’ve had a real good day. Real good day at Mlock Stone. It’s brilliant. A couple of little jump lines and a B line and a bit of fun. We’re going to have a couple more runs and go home.
