The Shredder (orange grade)


(Average user rating: 5 Stars 4.3/5)

Taking a corner in the snow at The shredder

Graded orange bike park, The Shredder is a Downhill (DH) run for beginners and is a great ice breaker into this discipline of the sport. 

From fast berms to flat, open corners; tabletop jumps to a road gap; rocky straights through tight trees to off camber sections, The Shredder really gives you a taste of everything that is downhill. It’s great fun and another great addition to Ae’s trails.

Push up for a spectacular view

View from the top of The Shredder at Ae.After a push up alongside the Omega Man (part of the Ae line) and then the fire roads of Knockespen, you reach the top of the hill and are gifted a spectacular view of Ae village and out all the to the Solway coast - usually with a cooling breeze.

Look towards your right. There is a paved way through the land. It looks smooth and gentle but it’s only when you reach the woods you realise how amazing it really is!

Every obstacle on The Shredder has an easier alternative. You can always get off and push if you feel it’s too intimidating.  Be careful and get the protective gear on.  Look at what you’re going to be doing and enjoy!

Some fun bits, but got lost all the time thanks to bad sign posts, and the DH really isn't worth the effort.

Trail was good, good flow and variety of obstacles but was too short considering the push up from thethe bottom of the omega man
