The Sand Dancer nightclub in Barmouth can be quite gnarly at chucking out time from memory.

You said "dude and shredding" without a hint of irony.
The relevant border authorities have been notified and you will be denied entry at customs (and your passport will be marked 'DO NOT ADMIT).
The welsh assembly passed a strict anti rad policy in late 2011.

One man's gnar is another's pootle.

What bike do you ride? Where do you normally ride? What is the best gnar you have ridden to date? Do you have a day or a weekend?

Teenage Pregnancy Grid Ref 61297,15889

My advice would be that Pinkbike is full of 'shredders' (or at least that's what I thought they said).

You are coming across as 'a bit of a lad'.

Anyway- Snowdon descents are well rated by all. The DH tracks in Blaenau Ffestiniog get rave reviews too.

However, your attitude seems to indicate that you are to Gnarr for them, so perhaps you are not suited to North Wales.

Sorry, you come across as such a cliché "doood" that I thought I'd add my own.

Yeah i never got round to getting over there.. Last i heard was they were struggling with red tape when trying to organise race dates? Shame.. Looks like an interesting course.

Simply downhill no longer looks after the track or do anything with uplifts.
The bottom of the track comes out in the car park so don't ride there.
It is on private land so you're best off keeping away.

Lots of as you call it gnarrr hidden away in north Wales, you should give the guys at www.northwalestrails.co.uk a shout. Nant gwytheryn is currently closed, foel gas nach is good, loads of trails hidden away too.

@fullofit, plenty to be found in N. Wales but we don't do as well for bridleways as other parts of the UK so trails tend not to be broadcast. I'm assuming you're looking for techy rather than pure DH? All the main areas have good stuff that can be found by following yer nose (Betws and Llanberis for example). Other off-grid stuff to be found off the A5. Lots and lots of other stuff too. Google Earth is a wonderful thing!

What sort of stuff are you looking for? natural big mountain rides? Downhill?

There are some good big mountain rides up above the North Wales coast, a few good rides on the Roman road GD SH6972 from there you can head up to Drum GD SH7069 and if you look in that area there are a nice few rides around the Carneddau and Dulyn resivoir at GD SH7066.

They are some pretty 'out there' rides and best done when the weathers good, it can get snotty up there and it's not a nice place when the rain and cloud comes in.

May I suggest that a more fruitful approach than swaggering on here and upsetting a few, that you spend you time getting a couple of OS maps (or go on www.Streetmap.co.uk or www.geograph.org.uk ) and learn that:
